The File hosting settings page is where you configure how your public files are served. Setup has three steps, completed in order:
  1. Set a slug for your business.
  2. Verify ownership of your domain.
  3. Add one or more allowed origins (custom domains) to serve files from.
You can serve public files from Conversion’s default domain at any time. The steps below are only needed if you want to serve files from your own domain.

​
Slug

Your slug is a unique, human-readable identifier for your business. It appears in the URL for public files served from your own domain. For example: https://assets.yourcompany.com/a/your-slug/your-file. To set it, click Set up on the Slug card (or the edit icon to change it). Slugs must be unique and can only contain letters, numbers, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and periods (.).

​
Domain

Before you can add a custom domain, you must verify that you own it. Click Set up DNS on the Domain card to view the record to add: Add this TXT record at your DNS provider, then return to the dialog and click Verify. Once the record is found, the domain shows a Verified badge.
This is the same domain verification used for SAML SSO under Identity and access. Verifying once covers both.

​
Allowed origins

Allowed origins are the domains Conversion is permitted to serve your public files from. This section becomes available once your slug is set and your domain is verified. To add one, click Add origin and enter a subdomain (for example, assets). The full origin is your subdomain plus your verified domain, such as assets.yourcompany.com. The dialog also shows the CNAME target to use. At your DNS provider, point that subdomain at Conversion with a CNAME record: Each allowed origin must be a subdomain of your verified base domain. Once added, the origin becomes selectable when sharing a public file.
The CNAME must have a valid SSL certificate issued for it so that files can be served securely over HTTPS.
To remove an origin, open its options menu and choose Remove. Existing links that use the origin will break, but you can allow the origin again at any time.
