How to Add a File Upload Widget to Notion

Bypass Notion's 5MB (free), 5MB images/20MB PDFs/~5GB other files (paid) limit.

Files go directly to your cloud storage | Unlimited Sizes | Zero Retention

The Problem

Your Current File Transfer Workflow

For Notion users, file transfer shouldn't be this hard

Notion has strict file upload limits (5MB free, 5MB images/20MB PDFs paid)

External users cannot upload files directly to your workspace

Large files (videos, datasets, design assets) can't be attached

Storage fills up quickly with even moderate file usage

Unlimited file sizes - no more 5MB/20MB limits

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this require a Notion integration?

No, BeamUp works independently through embed. No API keys or complex integration setup needed. Just create your portal and embed the link.

What file size limits apply?

None. Unlike Notion's 5MB limit, BeamUp allows unlimited file sizes. Files go directly to your cloud storage, which handles files of any size.

Do uploaders need a Notion account?

No. Anyone with access to the Notion page can upload files through the embedded widget. No accounts required for senders.

Where do the files actually go?

Files go directly to your connected cloud storage (S3 or Google Drive). They don't pass through Notion's servers or count against your Notion storage.
