Media Storage — StudioM Platform Guide¶

Who this guide is for: Anyone who wants to upload and manage images, videos, and documents for use across the platform. Time to read: Approximately 5 minutes

What Is Media Storage?¶

Media Storage is your platform's built-in file library — a central place to upload and organise images, videos, audio files, and documents that you use across your funnels, emails, social posts, and other content.

Instead of uploading the same logo or image repeatedly every time you need it, upload it once to Media Storage and reuse it anywhere in the platform.

How to Get There¶

Navigate to: Marketing (left sidebar) → Media Storage

Or access it directly while building funnels, emails, or other content — most image upload fields have a "Browse Library" option that opens Media Storage inline.

Supported File Types¶

Category	File Types
Images	JPG, PNG, GIF, SVG, WebP
Videos	MP4, MOV, AVI
Audio	MP3, WAV, M4A
Documents	PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV

File size limits: - Images: up to 10 MB per file - Videos: up to 1 GB per file - Documents: up to 50 MB per file

For large video files (course content, webinar recordings), consider hosting on YouTube, Vimeo, or another video platform and embedding via URL instead.

Uploading Files¶

Individual Upload¶

Go to Marketing → Media Storage
Click + Upload (or drag and drop files onto the page)
Select files from your computer
Files appear in your library immediately

Bulk Upload¶

Drag and drop multiple files at once — they all upload simultaneously.

Organising Your Library¶

Keep your media organised with folders:

Creating Folders¶

Click + New Folder
Name the folder (e.g., "Logo and Branding", "Social Posts — Q1 2026", "Product Images")
Drag files into the folder

Recommended folder structure:

Media Storage/
├── Branding/           (logos, brand colours, headshots)
├── Social Media/       (post graphics, story templates)
├── Email Graphics/     (header images, product photos)
├── Funnel Assets/      (landing page images, backgrounds)
├── Documents/          (PDFs, contracts, guides)
└── Videos/             (promotional clips, tutorials)

Searching and Filtering¶

Use the search bar to find files by name
Filter by file type (images only, videos only, etc.)
Sort by date uploaded, file name, or file size

Using Files Across the Platform¶

Once uploaded, files in Media Storage are available everywhere:

Where	How to Access
Funnel/website builder	Click an image element → "Upload" → "Browse Library"
Email builder	Insert image → "Choose from library"
Social Planner	Create post → "Add Media" → browse library
Documents and Contracts	Insert image → browse media storage
SMS messages	Attach image → browse library (MMS)
Blog posts	Insert image → media library

Editing Images¶

The platform includes a basic built-in image editor accessible from Media Storage:

Tool	What It Does
Crop	Trim the image to a specific area or ratio
Resize	Change dimensions
Rotate/Flip	Adjust orientation
Brightness/Contrast	Basic light adjustments
Filter	Apply simple colour filters
Text overlay	Add text to an image

To edit an image: 1. Click the image in Media Storage 2. Click Edit 3. Make your changes 4. Save as a new file or overwrite the original

For more advanced editing, use a tool like Canva externally and upload the finished image.

Google Drive Integration¶

Connect your Google Drive to import files directly:

In Media Storage, click Google Drive (or the cloud import icon)
Authorise the connection with your Google account
Browse your Google Drive folders
Select files to import — they're copied into your Media Storage library

Managing Files¶

Renaming a File¶

Click the three-dot menu on a file
Select Rename
Enter the new name

Use descriptive names — searching for "hero-image-jan-2026.jpg" is much easier than "image_001.jpg".

Moving Files¶

Drag and drop files between folders, or use the three-dot menu → Move to folder.

Deleting Files¶

Select the file(s) you want to delete
Click Delete
Confirm

Important: Deleting a file from Media Storage removes it from the library, but images already embedded in published funnels, emails, or pages will show as broken until you replace them. Always check where a file is used before deleting it.

Copying a File URL¶

Right-click or use the three-dot menu on any file → Copy URL — useful for sharing direct image links or referencing files in custom code elements.

Best Practices¶

Use consistent naming — include the content type and date: "email-header-may-2026.png" rather than "image.png"
Organise as you go — upload files directly into the right folder rather than dumping everything in the root and sorting later
Optimise images before upload — keep image files under 500 KB for web use; large images slow down your funnels and emails. Use tools like TinyPNG or Squoosh to compress without losing visible quality
Keep SVG logos — always keep your logo as an SVG file; it scales perfectly at any size without pixelating
Don't store sensitive documents here — Media Storage files can be accessed via a direct URL; don't upload contracts, financial documents, or anything confidential

Common Questions¶

Q: Is there a storage limit? Your storage is managed as part of your StudioM plan. Contact StudioM Support if you're approaching your storage limit or need more space.

Q: Can I share files directly with clients from Media Storage? Media files have direct URLs that can be shared, but for sending documents to clients professionally, use the Documents and Contracts feature instead.

Q: Can I access Media Storage from the mobile app? Yes — the mobile app includes access to Media Storage for viewing and using files. Uploading from mobile depends on the device's sharing capability.

Q: What happens to images if I change a file name after uploading? Renaming a file doesn't break existing links — the file URL stays the same. Only deleting the file would break existing links.
