Provide admin-level controls for “orphaned” attachments (files that were uploaded during task creation but never linked to a task)
What’s the problem? When a task fails to save or is deleted immediately after creation, any file uploaded in that workflow becomes an unattached (“limbo”) asset. • We can see the file in the global Files view, but it’s locked—neither downloadable nor deletable. • These files linger for 30 days until the automated cleanup runs, which clutters storage, confuses the team (“Where does this file belong?”), and may expose sensitive data longer than necessary. Why it matters • Storage hygiene & security – Orphaned files consume space and may contain data that shouldn’t remain accessible. • User experience – Team members click on these files expecting content, only to encounter an error message. • Governance – Many organizations need to comply with internal or external data-retention policies that require the faster removal of data. Proposed solution 1. Admin action menu for orphaned files • Allow Workspace Owners/Admins to Download, Delete Permanently, or Relink to an existing task. 2. Orphaned files filter in the Files modal, making them easy to locate. 3. Automatic notifications (optional) to alert admins when orphaned files exceed a threshold (e.g., 50 MB or 10 items). 4. API/Automation hook so we can use ClickUp Automations / external tools to clean up or flag these files programmatically. Impact / ROI • Keeps Workspaces organized and storage costs down. • Reduces support tickets about “broken” attachments. • Gives security-conscious teams immediate control over stray data.

Download All Attachments: .Zip File Name Should = Task Name
Constantly renaming zip files is one of those repetitive tasks that could be eliminated if the file name of the created archive were simply taken from the task name, rather than "clickup-attachments" as currently implemented. Not a big deal if you're infrequently downloading files, but if you are consistently generating large numbers of files for every project (and, like we do, using subtasks to categorize them since CU does not have a structured way to organize attachments at the task level), then at the end of every project you are spending a good deal of time downloading and renaming several zip files. As an example, our current attachments structure looks like this: Parent Task (parent folder, which is used as a substitute for a general documents folder) |-- Subtask (subfolder, e.g., Client Onboarding & Advisories) |-- Attachment |-- Attachment |-- Subtask (subfolder, e.g., Contracts) |-- Attachment |-- Attachment |-- Subtask (subfolder, e.g., Inspection Reports) |-- Attachment |-- Attachment In our case, we use a total of 8 subtasks (for now) to organize and categorize the various types of documents we work with on every project. This means that for every project, we are downloading and renaming 8 different .zip files every single time. So if the download archive took the file name from the task name, instead of having 8 different files named "clickup-attachments...." "clickup-attachments...(1)" "clickup-attachments...(2)" etc., we'd get: Client Onboarding & Advisories.zip Contracts.zip Inspection Reports.zip etc. By the way, I'm going to put this on its own features request, but if we could lose the URL encoded file names, that would be great as well.
