For iOS:
If you have come across an audio or video file that you’d like to enjoy, you can do it on Pocket Casts. To add these files, choose to share the file. In the share menu, pick “Save to Pocket Casts”. Once you have confirmed the file name — Pocket Casts uses the actual file name by default — it will be added to Pocket Casts.
For Android:
Have files downloaded onto your phone and want a place to play them? Go to your Profile > Files > plus symbol. This will allow you to browse the files on your phone and select which one you would like to upload to Pocket Casts. After you’ve confirmed what the file is named, it will be added to Pocket Casts.
For Desktop:
With the web player, you can simply drag your files into Pocket Casts and this will automatically active the file upload process. You can also click on the Profile icon > Files > Upload New.
If any custom files have a compatible image embedded, it will be displayed. Pocket Casts Plus subscribers can set a custom image for files on all devices or choose from a selection of colorful file images.
