{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Files uploaded to posts are stored in [posts attachments folder](/using-hippoly/files-and-folders/post-attachments-folder.md), which can be found under the **Quick access** section on the **Files** page.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Tips:** In addition to attaching files when creating a post, you can also share any file from the folder structure as a post. [Learn more about share file as post in this article](/using-hippoly/files-and-folders/share-file-as-post.md).
