Documents & PDFs

WordPress at Georgetown will not host uploaded documents, so all files linked to from your site must be added to a Box account under, either with a personal NetID or an Administrative NetID. You can then upload your files to this account, make them publicly accessible, and link to them from your site.

This page covers the steps for linking to a file stored in your Box account. For further assistance, we also have instructions for using Box files and folders, which also includes information on how to copy URLs for sharing and linking.
