Attach any file up to 10 MB to a message. Images render as inline previews; other files appear as clickable download links with the original filename and size.

Three ways to attach

  • Click the paperclip button in the composer to open the file picker
  • Drag-and-drop one or more files onto the composer area (highlight indicates drop zone)
  • Paste a file or screenshot directly into the textarea (Cmd/Ctrl+V)

Limits

  • Maximum file size: 10 MB per file
  • Maximum 10 attachments per message
  • Files count against your tier storage quota (chat/ prefix in MinIO)
  • Any file type accepted; images preview inline, others show as a download link

Tip

On macOS, use Cmd+Shift+Ctrl+4 to copy a screenshot region, then paste it directly into the chat composer — fastest way to share what you're seeing.

Tip

In the mobile app, the paperclip left of the message field attaches photos (camera or library) and files (PDF, Word, Excel), up to 10 per message and 10 MB each. Send waits until every file has uploaded, and you can send files without text. Received photos open full screen and files open in the phone's viewer. Attachments need a connection.
