Is there an alternative solution to upload a 10MB PDF file on Webflow if the client cannot reduce the file size?

If a client needs to upload a 10MB PDF file to their Webflow site and they are unable to reduce the file size, there is an alternative solution available. Webflow has a built-in feature called "Assets", which allows you to host files up to 100MB in size. Here's how you can upload a large file like a 10MB PDF to your Webflow site:

1. From your Webflow dashboard, navigate to the project where you want to upload the PDF file.
2. In the left sidebar, click on the "Assets" tab.
3. Click on the "Upload" button and select the 10MB PDF file from your computer.
4. Once the file is uploaded, you will see it listed in the assets panel.

To link the PDF file on your Webflow site:

1. Go to the page where you want to add the link to the PDF file.
2. Select the text or element where you want to place the link.
3. On the right sidebar, under the "Link settings" section, click on the "Add link" button.
4. In the link settings panel, choose "Open link in new tab" if you want the PDF to open in a new browser tab.
5. Click on the "Asset" tab, and you will see a list of all the uploaded assets.
6. Select the desired PDF file from the list.
7. Click the "Apply" button to save the link.

Once you publish your Webflow site, the PDF file will be accessible to your website visitors by clicking the linked text or element. Keep in mind that larger file sizes may affect the loading time of your site, so it's always recommended to optimize your files when possible.

Alternative solution:

If the 10MB PDF file size is still too large for Webflow's asset hosting limit, you can consider using a third-party file hosting service. Here's how you can achieve this:

1. Upload the 10MB PDF file to a file hosting service like Dropbox, Google Drive, or Amazon S3.
2. Once uploaded, you'll usually get a shareable link to the file.
3. Copy the shareable link provided by the file hosting service.
4. Go to your Webflow site and navigate to the page where you want to add the link to the PDF file.
5. Select the text or element where you want to place the link.
6. On the right sidebar, under the "Link settings" section, click on the "Add link" button.
7. Paste the shareable link you copied from the file hosting service into the link URL field.
8. Choose "Open link in new tab" if desired.
9. Click the "Apply" button to save the link.

By following these steps, you'll be able to provide a direct link to the 10MB PDF file hosted on a third-party file hosting service. It's important to note that using a third-party service may require you to have a separate account and manage the file outside of Webflow.
