orbanlabs Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 We would like to offer manuals and software updates for our products to our customers on the website (as download link). Some of them are bigger than 20MB, therefore I cannot upload them via Squarespace. Any solution to that? I would prefer not to use external space such as Google Drive etc. Any Squarespace internal solution or extension that works well for this purpose? Link to comment

I would prefer not to use external space such as Google Drive etc. We're waiting for Squarespace to increase the file limit. Until they do this, the only way around this is to use a third party storage provider like Google Drive. You said you'd prefer not to use this, but there are no 'Squarespace' code solutions available. Me: I'm Paul, a SQSP user for >18 yrs & Circle Leader since 2017.

orbanlabs Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Hi Paul, thanks for your answer. maybe you can help me with another question. Is it possible to move the Squrespace website to another webhoster? Or is the website content/structure always connected with their webspace and I cannot migrate it? Link to comment

You can export certain content from your Squarespace site into an .xml file, which may be useful if you want to export content to WordPress. However, not everything will export, as many features rely on the platform's built-in code to display content. See this list of what will and what won't export.

cherylr Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I realize that this original post is from quite awhile ago, but I am wondering if anyone has come up with a more elegant/less clunky solution for large file downloads (ie a zipped folder of audio files) other than google drive? Or if there's a way to initiate an automatic download of a file stored in google drive instead of the user following a link to a google drive page and then having to press the download button from there. Make sense? Link to comment
elcorando Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 There is an option for creating a Google Drive Direct Link, which initiates an automatic download of a file stored in Google drive: https://sites.google.com/site/gdocs2direct/ It seems to work well and may be a workable solution. Link to comment
