# Share and upload files
Attach files to messages, including images, documents, sound, and video.
Zulip supports attaching multiple files to messages, including images,
documents, sound, and video. You can edit the names of the files others see
after you upload them.
First, [open the compose box](/help/open-the-compose-box). Then
Zulip will automatically generate a **thumbnail** for each file when you send
the message, if it can. Image thumbnails will be shown directly in the message,
and you can click on a thumbnail to [view the full image](/help/view-and-browse-images).
* **Drag and drop** files into the compose box.
* **Copy and paste** files into the compose box.
* Click the **paperclip** (<i class="fa fa-paperclip"></i>) icon at
the bottom of the compose box to find files on your computer.
## Uploading files
Zulip will insert a link to the file, in Markdown format:
`[link text](URL)`. You can modify 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.
