I have an uploaded pdf file that i’d like to redirect to a different website. However, I’ve been told that this isn’t possible to do in Hubspot. Do I have any other options to redirect the url? Any third-party services or something similar?

Hi @ZWalters,

do you mean that you’d like to have a different URL to the file?

so instead of

`https://HUBID.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/HUBID/PDF-NAME.pdf`

something like

`https://YOURDOMAIN.com/PDF-NAME.pdf`

?

It is possible to achieve this by multiple ways

1. **In the file Manager**  
open the file in the File Manager and select one of the connected domains for the file in the “File URL by domain”

1. **Set the default URL of all Files uploaded from the generated HubSpot URL to your own one(will mostly like for future uploads)**  
You’ll find this setting here:  
settings(cog icon;top right corner) → Website → Pages → SEO&Crawlers → Default File Manager Hosting Domain
2. **create a redirect in the settings**  
You’ll find all of your redirects here:  
settings(cog icon; top right corner) → website → Domains&URLs → Redirects

best,

Anton

Thanks for your reply. I’m actually trying to redirect to a different website/url I don’t own. So a redirect would be the best solution, however Hubspot does not allow redirects for file uploads. So I’m looking for a different solution.

Not that I ever found, sorry! I kinda just learned my lesson and starting using a different url service that I have more control over.
