The link creation process is comprised of 2 steps; link settings and Asset settings.

### Link Settings Like [Shared Links](/~/changes/eaCuYFhybbREuBouwZp6/assets/sharing-assets.md) (used to share Assets externally from HIVO), Upload Links have an expiry date on them. At the start of the selected day, the link will expire and become inaccessible. In order to limit potentially unwanted access, Upload Links also have a maximum capacity for the amount of uploads that can be made through a single link. E.g. if you’re only expecting a user to upload a few files, then you might set the limit to 20. You may also input a description that’ll appear at the top of the Uploader for the end user before they start adding files. ### Asset Settings Settings found here will be applied to all uploads received from the link. E.g. if you add a Collection, then all Assets will be added to it. One of the key settings that’s recommended to be left turned on is the ‘Requires Approval’ checkbox - which will send all Assets to the [Approvals](/~/changes/eaCuYFhybbREuBouwZp6/approvals.md) area. This will help with moderating incoming Assets and ensuring they are correctly tagged, have the right folder etc. The recipients of the link will be able to input metadata in the guest uploader, such as a description or copyright, including any custom inputs that've been configured. The 'Tag Assets' step can be optionally disabled if wanted. ### Location Upload Links can currently be found in the following areas: In the Library by clicking the cloud icon in the top right.

Upload link in library — Upload link in Library

In a Collection using the icon seen below. This will refill the Asset Settings step with the Collection.

Upload link collection — Upload link Collection

In a Task by clicking its respective button on the bottom right. This will refill the Asset Settings step with the Task.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://support.hivo.co/~/changes/eaCuYFhybbREuBouwZp6/assets/upload-links.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
