File Sharing

Share files, images, and documents directly in InterMIND channels and meeting conversations. Each upload can be up to 500 MB.

Uploading Files

Drag and Drop

The easiest way to share a file:

1. Drag a file from your computer
2. Drop it onto the chat area
3. The file uploads automatically and appears in the chat

Upload Button

1. Click the Attach (paperclip) icon in the chat input area
2. Select a file from your computer
3. The file uploads and appears as a message in the chat

Pasting Images

You can paste images directly from your clipboard:

1. Copy an image (screenshot, from a webpage, etc.)
2. Click in the chat input
3. Press Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V on Mac)
4. The image is uploaded and shared

Linking Cloud Documents

The Attach menu can also link documents from cloud storage:

1. Click the Attach (paperclip) icon
2. Choose Google Docs or OneDrive
3. Connect your account (first time only) and pick a document

The document appears in chat as a link — recipients open it with their own access rights in the cloud. During a live meeting, a linked document can be opened for the whole conference — see Sharing Documents & Notes In-Call.

Storage Limits

File uploads count toward your team's storage quota:

Checking Storage Usage

View your team's storage usage:

1. Open the Users page from the sidebar (owners) or the Billing page
2. The Storage Usage banner / card shows used vs. available space
3. A progress bar indicates how close you are to the limit

When Storage is Full

If your team reaches the storage limit:

• You cannot upload new files
• Existing files remain accessible
• Upgrade your plan or delete old files to free up space

File Management

Downloading Files

• Click on any shared file to download it
• Images can be saved by right-clicking and choosing "Save Image"

File Visibility

• Files shared in a meeting chat are visible to all meeting participants
• Files shared in a channel are visible to all channel members
• Files in channels persist in chat history indefinitely; files in ad-hoc meeting chats are deleted when the meeting chat is purged after the call

Recording Files

Screen recordings made during meetings are also stored as files:

• Recordings are saved to the team's storage
• They appear in the chat as well as in the team's file browser
• See Screen Sharing & Recording for details

Tips

• Compress large images before sharing to save storage space
• Use the team's file browser (see Team Storage) to manage all shared files
• Storage usage is shared across the entire team — coordinate with team members if space is limited
