Upload and view files
Upload a file once and the whole room has it, in the right folder, beside the chat and tasks it belongs to. Everyone in the room can upload, preview and download files.
How to upload files
- Open a room and select Files (in the apps dock or from Apps).
- Open the folder the files belong in, if any.
- Upload in either of these ways:
- Drag files from your computer onto the library and drop them on Drag and drop files here.
- Select the upload button (the cloud icon) in the header, or Upload file on a phone, and choose files.
- The files appear in the library once the upload finishes.
tip
Files shared in the room chat are added to the room's Files too. You can also drop files straight onto the chat. See Attachments and shared items.
How to view a file
- Select a file in the library to preview it.
- Use Download to save a copy, or Chat on files to open the file's own conversation.
What else a file can do
