Additional Files

You can upload supporting files that contain extra information as an Additional File to an existing asset. Additional files can be uploaded to an existing asset as a way to give more detailed or supporting (background) information about the asset. For example a waiver for the people who have participated in your video asset, a contract from an agency, a spreadsheet with detailed figures about your presentation, or a release form of a photographer.

Note

The maximum allowed file size for an additional file is 4GB.

Alternative options to Additional Files:

If you would like to update the original file of an asset without having to tag the asset from scratch, you might want to instead upload your updated file as a new version.

If you would like to add a new download option for users with specific customizations such as crop or format, you might want to instead upload your modified file as a manual derivative.

To relate assets that have each been uploaded to the Asset Bank that have something in common, you might want to instead use the related assets functionality.
