## Adding a link or note (Quick Add)

**Link** and **Text Note** open a quick window.

- **Quick Link** – paste the URL and click **Fetch** to fill in the page title and description. Edit them if you like, add tags, then click **Add to Vault**.
- **Quick Note** – enter a title and your note, then click **Add to Vault**.

## Adding files, images and social posts

**File Upload**, **Image Upload** and **Social Media** open the full **Add Content to Vault** page. You can also click **More options...** to get there.

## Step 1 — Pick the type

Choose **Link**, **Social Link**, **Text Note**, **File** or **Image** from the tabs at the top.

## Step 2 — Fill in the details

- **Title** – required. Use something you'll recognize later.
- **Organize in Folders** – click **Select Folders** to file it right away.
- **Tags** – pick existing tags or type a new one and press Enter.
- **Notes** – optional context for yourself.
- For a social post, pick the **Platform** and paste the URL. YouTube and Streamable videos play right on the item page.

## Step 3 — Choose who can see it

- **Make this content publicly shareable** – turns on a share link. See [Sharing Vault Items & Folders with a Link](/support/kb/vault/sharing-vault-items).
- **Team Share (show on your team page)** – shows the item on your Team Share page. This also turns on the share link.

Leave both unticked to keep the item private. Click **Add to Vault**.

## Uploading several files at once

Premium members can click **Upload Files** to add up to 25 files in one go. Drag them into the window or pick them from your computer.

## File types and size limits

- Files: PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX, TXT and CSV.
- Images: JPG, PNG, GIF and WebP.
- File uploads are a Premium feature. Free accounts can upload images up to 5 MB each.
- Premium accounts can upload files and images up to 50 MB each.
- Videos aren't stored in the Vault. **Video Upload** takes you to **Clips**.

## Tips

- Set your usual privacy, folder and Team Share choices once in [Vault Defaults](/support/kb/vault/vault-defaults) so they're filled in for every new item.
- Paste a link and click **Fetch** before typing a title. It usually gets the title right.
- Uploaded files count toward your storage. Links and notes take up almost none.
