+### Example: Serving Files from the `.well-known` Path
+
+Some third-party services such as Apple Pay, Google, or other integrations, require you to host a verification file at a specific URL like:
+
+```text
+https://yourdomain.com/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association
+```
+
+On Umbraco Cloud, directly hosting files in the `.well-known` folder (for example, via Git or Kudu) may result in a 404 error due to platform restrictions.
+
+To work around this, you can serve the required file using Umbraco's **Media** library along with an IIS rewrite rule.
+
+To do so, follow these steps:
+
+1. Go to the **Media** section in the Umbraco backoffice.
+2. Create a folder named `.well-known`.
+   This folder is only for your own organization. It does not affect the public file URL.
+3. Upload the verification file. For example: *test.txt*.
+
+![Uploading Verification file in the Backoffice](images/upload-verification-file.png)
+
+4. Copy the Media file URL. For example, `/media/4jhhlmxk/verification.txt`.
+5. Add a rewrite rule in your `web.config` file:
+
+```xml
+<rule xdt:Transform="Insert" name="Rewrite Apple Developer Merchant ID" stopProcessing="true">
+  <match url="^\.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association$" />
+  <action type="Rewrite" url="/media/4jhhlmxk/test.txt" />
+</rule>
+```
+
+{% hint style="info" %}
+Replace the `match` and `url` values with your specific Media path and verification filename.
