==Overview==
BXP does not support directly attaching files to emails generated by the system, however you can instead upload files that are intended for download to the dedicated storage folder of your BXP system and link these for download in your email instead. This article will cover how to do step-by-step.
''Main Menu > System Access Management > System Management > Custom Folder - File Upload''

To upload a file, click on the "Choose File" button and then navigate to the location on your local device that the file is stored in and select it before clicking "Open", or double click on it. Afterward, click on the Upload File Button to begin the transfer. Please be patient with the upload process as it may take some time if the file is large.

Please note that files uploaded to the custom folder are uploaded to the "Web Tier" of BXP, this means any files here are publicly downloadable by anyone who has a link to the file, even those without a BXP Login.
