The file manager needs these two big improvements in order to become even more useful: The ability to adjust the file url visibility on a domain by domain basis. Explanation: Currently, HubSpot creates a unique url for each of your files for all of the domains connected to your portal. That way, you can put the file on all of your pages and use the different URL links. HubSpot also by default gives all of your files HubSpot URLs (something like hubspotusercontent40.net) as a fallback should any of your domains stop working. The flexibility to have urls for all domains is nice, but the url visibilty settings are blanket settings for all domains - meaning if I select "Pubilc" then my file is visible publicly for all my intended domains but also for the hubspotusercontent40.net domain. As a company, we need all our files to be searchable on Google so people can find them easily, but since the HubSpot URL is also searchable, Google is often prioritizing HubSpot links as the first search result which will be questionable to our customer base. Our company can't compete with a global company for search engine optimization to get that first spot (see screenshot), so it would be great if we could make that url specifically non-inexable while all other domains are indexable. Proposed Solution: Make the url visibility property customizable on a domain by domain basis - allow us to make the hubspotusercontent40.net domains non-indexable while keeping other domains indexable. The ability to automatically scrub your site and update all files linked on the site with the new default domain file url. Explanation: HubSpot support mentioned that part of the reason we may be seeing HubSpot urls being prioritizied in search engines is because we still have HubSpot URLs sprinkled throughout our site for different file links. As I combed a few pages on my site, I found that most file links were our default domain themlc.com, however, a few files were hubspotusercontent30.net links. I looked at settings and confirmed that themlc.com was our default domain, I confirmed that the file in file manager also had themlc.com as it's default domain. When asked, HubSpot support told me the file must have been added to our site before we set up our default domain and that we'd have to manually update it because HubSpot doesn't update all the files throughout your site with your new default domain automatically. This is incredible frustrating because we have hundreds of files and many many web pages, the amount of time it would take to scrub them all looking for hubspot links is troubling and cumbersome and unrealistic. Not only does the system not automatically update them for you, it doesn't notify you of file links that need to be updated. Proposed Solution: It would be great if this could just happen automatically - you update your default domain and HubSpot scrubs your website for all links and updates them to the default domain link for you. If that's not possible, then it would be great if the SEO tools had a section that would find all those HubSpotusercontent40.net links on your site and brought them to your attention so you could update them yourself in bulk quickly and be confident that you got all of them.
