Hosting a virtual machine in the file manager?

SOLVE

Hey!

 

I'm looking to offer a downloadable virtual machine to leads that are participating in an online workshop that we plan to run.

 

Can Hubspot manage a file this large? If not, is there a way you might go about runnning a workshop that would require the participants to download a virtual machine?

 

Thanks!

Short A: n/a

 

Longer A:

Virtual Machine files are typically multi-gigabyte files, so ...

No.

 

That being said, how you go about delivering that file is totally outside of the HubSpot ecosystem, so the options are virtually limitless -- e.g., link to a public folder on Dropbox, Google Drive, an FTP server, whatever. Whatever your decision, HubSpot would simply be the messenger (of the link) ... and not technically part of the delivery.
