Share and upload files
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.
For images and videos, a small preview will be shown directly in the message, if there are up to 24 attachments. People reading the message can click on the preview to view the full-size image or video.

File upload limits
The Zulip Cloud Standard and Zulip Cloud Plus plans include 5 GB of file storage per user. Each uploaded file can be up to 1 GB.
The Zulip Cloud Free plan includes a total of 5 GB of file storage. Each uploaded file can be up to 10 MB.
In organizations on a self-hosted server, server administrators can configure
the maximum size for uploaded files via the MAX_FILE_UPLOAD_SIZE
server setting. Setting it to 0 disables file uploads, and
hides the UI for uploading files from the web and desktop apps.
