File resource element

You can store a file in a file resource element. You can then reference the file resource so that users can download the file using a link or, for supported file types, convert the file directly to HTML and render it on the page. By storing a file in a file resource element:

• you can reference the file anywhere in your site regardless of the original file location or URL.

• the file is automatically transferred to other servers during syndication.

Creating a file resource element

To create a file resource element, you can either add a file resource element to an authoring template, site, site area or content item, or create a file resource component.
