It would be great if you need to link to an uploaded Webflow resource (ie. a PDF or other) and have it on your own domain and not have the file name be prepended so "pitchscript.pdf" does not change to "872384029387403298wajlhewuhf_pitchscript.pdf". Especially since people want to host with Webflow fully & not have to put it on an external server.
lo veo totalmente fundamental, esto me limita hacer mucho. Me parece muy poco profesional tener los archivos con ese dominio.

THIS IS CRITICAL
Businesses need this functionality to link directly to PDFs customers frequently access. We need the following features:
Asset URLs need to be customizable and come from our custom domain rather than the CDN domain. This is necessary for SEO, and security concerns (Customers might question wether the asset really belongs to the business if the URLs don't match).
Assets need the ability to be replaced whilst maintaining the same URL. Imagine posting the Asset link to external sources and then having to make a revision to the asset. Now you have to go and replace all the extrernal source links. (# of Assets × external sources × revisions and it starts getting ridiculous).

This is really basic indeed, such a pain when you make all efforts for having a great experience, clean stuff and your customers download pdf and img with apojnkjfblfd55454dssqdm name in it. 6 years I see this issue is pending, this doesn't sound serious really !

Need to get on with this one, becoming a joke that assets on my site load from uploads.assets.webflows-nans-garage.org/gibberishnumers32423423423-cleanpdf.pdf

This is a crucial element to serving images, css, and js with caching and web friendly images. Not sure why it is not included with webflow custom domain plans.

We use PDFs for a lot of our information here and in these cases, the resources in question are PDF documents that have been uploaded to the Resources. Ideally, the slug link would stay the same even if we swap out the PDF that the link directs to. Right now, we have to manually change any button linked to a PDF with the "hard" location of that PDF. It would be much easier to simply edit the resource and change the PDF attached there while leaving all the other fields the same.

This is essential and holding me back from launching a project on Webflow

So basic. PLEASE add this.

This is a terrible implementation of a simple feature, randomly changing file names from what is uploaded is nonsense. You need a logical name which does not have to be unique and what it names the file on download and a storage name that can have a GUID. This feature is useless as it stands.

Webflow is an amazing product people. Please upvote if you really think this is a crucial feature!

Has this not been resolved after 5 years because tech debt in WebFlow is so bad they can't fix this without massive code rework?
Webflow hasn't responded at all and this suggestion is in the Top 4 pages of the Wishlist. You can see in other comments this has affected their livelihood and they don't even make a comment. This just makes no sense.
There are comments that images on a different cdn doesn't affect SEO, however for PDFs it does.

I strongly upvote this as well. In addition to the other reasons stated (SEO), this also has benefit of those of us using Cloudflare proxying, to benefit from all of its benefits.
Because webflow assets are served out of the assets-global.website-files.com domain, this isn't owned by us so can't be proxied by cloudflare.
I've found other ideas and requests for this going back over 5 years. I don't foresee any hope in this getting fixed... but maybe?
