These files are not Jinja2 templates, so there's no reason that they needed to be inside `templates/zerver`. Moving them to the top level reflects their importance and also makes it feel nicer to work on editing the help center content, without it being unnecessary buried deep in the codebase.

# Share and upload files
|
|
|
|
Attach files to messages, including images, documents, sound, and video.
|
|
|
|
First, [open the compose box](/help/open-the-compose-box). Then
|
|
|
|
* **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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting info
|
|
|
|
Zulip does not generate thumbnails for messages with more than ten
|
|
attachments.
|
|
|
|
The maximum file size for attachments is 25MB in most Zulip installations.
|
|
This limit can be changed by the server administrator.
