# 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.
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
## Uploading files
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{tab|via-markdown}
|
|
|
|
{!start-composing.md!}
|
|
|
|
1. Drag and drop files, or copy and paste one or more files into the compose
|
|
box. Zulip will upload the files, and insert named links using
|
|
[Markdown formatting](/help/format-your-message-using-markdown#links):
|
|
`[Link text](URL)`.
|
|
|
|
1. _(optional)_ Modify the link text as desired.
|
|
|
|
{tab|via-compose-box-buttons}
|
|
|
|
{!start-composing.md!}
|
|
|
|
1. Click the **paperclip** (<i class="fa fa-paperclip"></i>) icon at
|
|
the bottom of the compose box to select one or more files. Zulip will upload
|
|
the files, and insert named links using
|
|
[Markdown formatting](/help/format-your-message-using-markdown#links):
|
|
`[Link text](URL)`.
|
|
|
|
1. _(optional)_ Modify the link text as desired.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|

|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
You can [preview the message](/help/preview-your-message-before-sending)
|
|
before sending to see what your uploaded files will look like.
|
|
|
|
## Named file example
|
|
|
|
### What you type
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[A whale of a good time](https://your.zulip.domain/user_uploads/1/46/IPvysqXEtiTG1ZdNBrwAZODi/whale-time.png)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### What it looks 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.
