Hi Guys,

I want to attach a couple of files to my BoB3 Breakout Board notebook page so that other users can download them.

One file is a documentation pack (pdf), the other is the Eagle board files (zip).

How do I go about doing this?

Regards,

Paul

Hi Paul,

We only support uploads of images right now, but we'll aim to add support for other types at the next website update. As a workaround for now, maybe you could host them elsewhere if you have a means and just link across.

Hi Simon,

Understood. Unfortunately, I don't have a hosting means.

I have created a Google Mail account so that if users want the files they can email me and I will reply with the files as attachments. This can also double as my end of a private message facility.

I got a cool Google Mail address: paulg.mbed@googlemail.com. Perhaps other users could do likewise?

Hi Paul,

If you don't have a means of hosting, you should try ChompMail! If you email Hugo @ Chompmail, he'll post your files up at a URL for you :) (Dan made this at one of our cambridge dev clubs!)

This sounds like a feature request in disguise. Do you think some sort of "direct messaging" would be useful? Something like send user an email via a form on their profile page.

Thanks, I'll look into this.

Yes I do. See my next forum posting. Your suggestion would be good. However, the Google mail approach has one big plus - it doesn't require any work from the mbed team! Why re-invent the wheel?
