Hi&nbsp;Vernongrant73 and welcome to the Dropbox Community 😊
&nbsp;
As&nbsp;Nancy&nbsp;mentioned, YouTube doesn’t support adding text files like .doc, .docx, or .pdf, but you can share a Dropbox link&nbsp;in the Youtube description to your Study guides instead.
By the way, I’m Theresa, a Community Manager at Dropbox. If you're open to sharing, I’d love to hear how you use Dropbox daily and which features you rely on. We might be able to share tips to boost your productivity!
&nbsp;
Looking forward to hearing from you&nbsp;😺

Hey @Vernongrant73! Thanks for posting on the Community.

What you can try, in this case, is to create a shared link to your text files and add it to your YouTube channel/videos.

One thing to keep in mind though is that this could potentially cause your Dropbox account to exceed its daily limit of data sharing in certain occasions.

Let me know if you need more help though.

thank you. i work with a group of franciscan nuns here in sacramento, ca. i spent months of digitizing a donated media collection to be mp4s and posted them on youtube simplyfranciscanchannel which the videos will be made public later this month. along with the collection were study guides for different videos that go with them. i spent months digitizing everything. were trying to figure out how to link the pdf files. apparently youtube has some external linking feature only available under "established" advanced accounts. this is a new account so im not sure what to do. this whole collection was donated with all appropriate copyrights and this group wants to freely pass on this franciscan resource. thanks
