If it's not on yet, click **Enable Storage** (or ask Bilt to add uploads and it switches on automatically). ## Buckets A bucket is a folder for one kind of file. Each bucket is either: * **Public** (amber) — anyone with a link can view the files. Good for profile pictures * **User-protected** (green) — not publicly viewable; your app controls who sees what Create one with **+ New bucket** (lowercase name, 2–63 characters). After creating it, open the bucket's **settings** to add a per-file **size limit** and restrict **file types** (for example `image/*, application/pdf`). ## Working with files Open a bucket to browse its files with search, or add files yourself — click **Upload** or drag and drop them onto the panel. Per file you can: * **Get link** — creates a share link that works for **5 minutes**, handy for checking a file or sending it to someone quickly * **Delete** — removes the file permanently Deleting a whole bucket asks you to confirm, and deleting one that still has files requires ticking an extra "delete all files inside" box. ## Ask for it in chat ```text theme={null} Let users upload a profile photo and show it on their profile page. ``` ```text theme={null} Add a documents section where users can attach PDFs to a project. ``` Email [support@bilt.me](mailto:support@bilt.me), or ask in the [Discord community](https://discord.gg/9Y8vpDAhbD).
