How to attach files to the thread we post in this forum?

I’m wondering why there is no feature that allows attaching files from our hard drives! It is not practical to upload our file first in a certain web to provide it as a link in the post.

Is there a way to attach our files directly from our hard drive to the post?

Please, have a look on the screenshot below that shows a forum which includes all the very basic features!

Thank you for the help

Best

Jamal

    What Carlos said (although guessing can be fun, and lead to pleasant banter).

    Hi Carlos.

      Hi Jacob, yeah, I don't mind the guessing game, it is fun...to some of us at least.

      The 7th button of the basic editor, "insert image" , allows you to post an image from your HD... Isn't that what you want?

        Thank you guys for the contribution. this is quite useful.

        Attaching files is a very basic feature in any Forum. and sure, we need it all the time to better share our issues without the need to upload our files in a "broker" sites! it is simple, most of the fora have this feature.

        [ moved to the forum comments section ]

        We don't allow generic file uploads as there are obvious security and intellectual property issues. Users can link to externally-hosted files (subject to the terms and conditions concerning copyright and spam), which ensures Adobe is not liable for the content.

          Thank you for the answer.

          personally, I don't see any problem with that as most of the Fora (forum) offer this feature. otherwise, additional work is needed just to upload one single file.

          >personally, I don't see any problem with that

          Allowing anyone to upload a possibly infected file is an extremely bad idea
