File Attachments

HarvardSites Drupal supports file attachments in the following formats: TXT, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, CSV, PDF, PPT, PPTX, and RTF. There are several ways to upload and link to a file attachment. Here we provide an overview of each and link to instructions and more details.

NOTE: Site visibility settings do not protect access to file attachments. Please use Harvard’s secure SharePoint platform for storing and sharing private documents. See guidance on Sending and Sharing Files for more details about tools that support other file formats and secure file-sharing.

Add a File Attachment to another content type

You can add one or more documents as file attachments to content types (with the exception of the Resource content type). See the File Attachment section in the right sidebar of the content edit view.
