### How can I upload images, files, links, videos and sound files to posts?
You can upload images from your computer using the [editor](help/Text_editor).
-An overview of all uploaded images is listed at *yourpage.com/photos/profilename*.
+An overview of all uploaded images is listed at *yourpage.com/profile/profilename/photos*.
On that page, you can also upload images directly and choose if your contacts will receive a message about this upload.
Generally, you can attach any kind of file to a post.
You can also add video and audio files to posts.
However, instead of a direct upload you have to use one of the following methods:
-1. Add the video or audio link of a hoster (Youtube, Vimeo, Soundcloud and anyone else with oembed/opengraph-support). Videos will be shown with a preview image you can click on to start. SoundCloud directly inserts a player to your post.
