# Share and upload files
|
||||
|
||||
Attach files to messages, including images, documents, sound, and video.
|
||||
|
||||
[Start composing](/help/compose-and-reply) a new message or reply. Then
|
||||
|
||||
* **Drag and drop** files into the compose box.
|
||||
* **Copy and paste** files into the compose box.
|
||||
* **Click the paperclip** (<i class="icon-vector-paperclip"></i>) icon at
|
||||
the bottom of the compose box to find files on your computer.
|
||||
|
||||
Zulip will insert a link to the file, in Markdown format:
|
||||
`[link text](URL)`. You can modily the `link text` to whatever you want.
|
||||
|
||||
Zulip will automatically generate a **thumbnail** of the file when you send
|
||||
it, if it can. You can
|
||||
[preview the message](/help/preview-your-message-before-sending) before
|
||||
sending to see what the thumbnail will look like.
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting info
|
||||
|
||||
Zulip does not generate thumbnails for messages with more than 5
|
||||
attachments.
|
||||
|
||||
The maximum file size for attachments is 25MB in most Zulip installations.
|
||||
This limit can be changed by the server administrator.

# Upload and share files
|
||||
|
||||
Zulip allows you to easily attach files, including images, sound, and video by:
|
||||
|
||||
- Clicking the paperclip (<i class="icon-vector-paperclip"></i>) icon located
|
||||
under the message field.
|
||||
- Dragging or dropping files into the compose box. The files are uploaded to a
|
||||
server and a link is supplied, but a thumbnail is displayed if possible. The
|
||||
link to the file will be in Markdown format: `[link_text](link_URL)`
|
||||
|
||||
!!! tip ""
|
||||
If you wish to give your image a caption or title, you may add text before
|
||||
or after the generated link in your message.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! tip ""
|
||||
The maximum size for uploaded files is 25MB in most Zulip installations.
|
||||
This limit can be changed by the server administrator.
|
||||
|
||||
After submitting your message, you will see a clickable thumbnail if
|
||||
your file is a common image type (i.e. PNG, JPEG, etc.); all other
|
||||
files will simply have a link displayed.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! tip ""
|
||||
You can view and [manage your uploaded files](/help/manage-your-uploaded-files)
|
||||
in the [Uploaded files](/#settings/uploaded-files) tab.
|
||||
|
||||
## Link Behavior
|
||||
|
||||
Clicking all file links will open a new tab that will either:
|
||||
|
||||
- display the file if it is an image.
|
||||
- download the file automatically to your computer.
|
||||
|
||||
If the file has a thumbnail, clicking it will open a lightbox modal with
|
||||
varying options depending on the media type. Images may be opened in new
|
||||
tabs or downloaded, while videos from YouTube may only be opened (and not
|
||||
downloaded).
|
||||
|
||||
!!! tip ""
|
||||
You can exit out of a lightbox by clicking the space around the media preview
|
||||
or by clicking the x (<i class="icon-vector-remove"></i>) icon found in
|
||||
the upper right-hand corner.
|
||||
|
||||
## Sharing files from external websites
|
||||
|
||||
Images and videos shared from external websites, such as Imgur or
|
||||
YouTube, may have previews generated as well. Clicking previews of
|
||||
images/videos from external websites will lead to the same lightbox
|
||||
behavior described above.
