Do anybody know if one can attach LIC files in Hubspot?

Hi @MChristjansen,

Hey @MChristjansen

I don’t think LIC files are possible.

Here is a doc about the type of file that you can upload into HubSpot

[https://knowledge.hubspot.com/files/supported-file-types?hubs\_content=knowledge.hubspot.com%252Ffiles%252Fcopy-and-update-the-url-of-files-uploaded-to-the-file-manager&hubs\_content-cta=files%252520in%252520your%252520files%252520tool](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/files/supported-file-types?hubs_content=knowledge.hubspot.com%252Ffiles%252Fcopy-and-update-the-url-of-files-uploaded-to-the-file-manager&hubs_content-cta=files%252520in%252520your%252520files%252520tool)

hope this helps

@Lucila-Andimol these limitations do not extend to attachments.

@MChristjansen just tested, works perfectly fine if you’re referring to attaching these files to records (contact, companies etc).

size limitations still apply

Though, good to know that @MChristjansen can use lic files in Attachments.

You can try it out and let us know if it worked for you?

Hi María

The texts you referred to were most helpful. I found out that you can attach LIC files - but not directly to an email. You first need to upload the file to the files tool. And then you can add it to your email. However, files uploaded to the files tool are public; and Hubspot does not support them as sensitive information. It would be a good idea if Hubspot could make these attachments files safe. Can we ask Hubspot to consider this, you think?

Hey @MChristjansen

HubSpot has recently updated the usage of Sensitive Data in HubSpot

but for the moment is only available for Enterprise. [You can read more about this here.](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/properties/store-sensitive-data#:~:text=user%20permission%20requirements.-,Storing%20sensitive%20attachments,-With%20the%20ability)

But I’ve thinking about a workaround, and maybe you can try making a compressed/zip file and attach that in the email or upload it into HubSpot.

What do you think about that?

@MChristjansen what type of emails, marketing or sales? The more context you share, the faster the resolution.

For email attachments (sales) and the file manager (marketing), the aforementioned restrictions apply: [Supported file types and sizes](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/files/supported-file-types)

Hi Karsten,

It is within the Sales and the Service area of Hubspot that we need to send LIC files - thank you for following up on this for me; I am very grateful.
