When you are using the Bulk Import tool to import posts or queued posts, you have the option to add your image or video to the CSV file. However, to add images or videos, you will need to make sure that you use a public URL.
Below you can find the steps on how to do this for:
Hosted webpage
If you are already hosting a web page, you can simply add your images there and create your public URLs from the host.
Dropbox
Upload your image or video to your Dropbox account.
Once your image or video has been uploaded, select it, then click the 3-dot button.
Now go to Share and then click Share with Dropbox
Next, a window will appear, click Copy link.
With the copied link, open a new tab or a notepad and paste the copied link there. At the end of your link, you should see the parameter dl=0. After this parameter, you need to make sure to add the parameter &raw=1 at the end of the link. With this added, you can now add this public URL to your CSV file.

Paste this link into your CSV file under either video_url or image_url
