=How to Upload & Link to Content=
Upload Content in two ways:

'''Using "Upload file" feature (for files smaller than 24mb)'''

*Click the [[Special:Upload| Upload file]] link at the left and upload a file
*Link to the files within your page using the tag: 

<nowiki>[[File:my_filename.jpg]]</nowiki>




'''Using WPI Storage (for files larger than 24mb)'''
To upload large files, log in at the page below:

https://video.wpi.edu/app/SingleSignOn/default.aspx

After adding media, grab the embed code, modify it, and add to your wiki page. I’ve put together a page in your wiki with all of the steps, here:

<!--
'''Using WPI Storage (for files larger than 24mb)'''

Create a sub-folder for your project on your desktop (Name it something unique like YourName_FinalProject)
Copy all of the files you want to upload into this folder.

Then map a network drive here:

*Mapping a network drive ([http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/CCC/Help/Network/Mapping/ WPI support info]) to:

''Windows'':<nowiki> \\media.wpi.edu\Manzo</nowiki> ''or'' 
''Mac'': <nowiki>smb://media.wpi.edu/Manzo</nowiki>
*Copy the folder you just created onto the drive
*The web link to files put in that location will be:
 
<nowiki>http://media.wpi.edu/Academics/Depts/HUA/Manzo/my_filename.xxx</nowiki>  

Once you create folders in the network drive:  

<nowiki>http://media.wpi.edu/Academics/Depts/HUA/Manzo/my_folder/my_filename.xxx</nowiki>

*Link to these files within your page using the code: 

<nowiki>[[File:http://media.wpi.edu/Academics/Depts/HUA/Manzo/my_filename.jpg]]</nowiki>

Note: if you have spaces in your path name replace them with %20 so that "/HUA/Manzo/My File.png" becomes "/HUA/Manzo/My%20File.png"

Remove any special characters (such as spaces, "(", "{", etc.) from filenames
