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.

Strongly needed!

This is a surprising omission in the platform (unless I missed how to do it). I would really like to have the ability to distribute a link:
https://www.mydomain.com/my_doc.pdf
The current link that gets generated when creating an asset link in WebFlow is not clean and I'm sure people will question a link that is not associate with mydomain.com

This is very much needed!

I totally love the platform guys and girls at Webflow, but not in my wildest imagination did I think this was going to be an issue... honestly kinda bummed out rn. Please add this feature.

Is this issue still relevant? Especially for publishing PDFs for our customers it would be very smart if we just could add our custom domain to assets.

YES!!

This is also needed for any app landing pages wanting to upload an apple-app-site-association file for universal links & app banners.

To fix the speed issues in China we need this. If a url is whitelisted in China (has an ICP number) then we can get the site accelerated for China. Right now because all the assets are hosted on a separate domain not the same as the website, and that domain is not whitelisted in China site loads very slow in China. Great on changing the domain from Webflow to something else, but it doesn't fix the issue for China and other firewalls.

File hosting should've been setup like this to begin with. This is causing quite a headache with one client whose website we are redesigning in Webflow. They have a lot of search equity with PDFs on their old website, now we're having to build a lot of this back from scratch.

I really thought this was not going to be an issue since there is an option to "Diable Webflow Branding from HTML code", why add that option if after all webflow branding is all over the place when uploading file.
I hope this is not too hard to do, it is very important.

Just signed up to a Webflow hosting package, using my custom domain. Really surprised this isn't a feature of custom domains already, hoping it wont damage my SEO too much 😬

This is really important for SEO. For .pdf. and images. I hope it will be available soon.

Important for SEO reasons as well to host e.g. images like the company logo on your own domain!
