Feature Requests

Is there any report or way we can see what spaces/lists or tasks have attachments over a certain size? As part of our housekeeping we want to look at removing any large files from ClickUp and move these to an internal server, DAM or cloud storage. Any feature, like GoogleDrive, that can show you what the largest files are and what tasks/spaces/lists they are attached to would be great. Thanks!

Hi, I found it missing on couple of occasions where you want quickly refer to one of the attachments in checklists, would be nice to have it. Great for feedback jobs etc. I can see it in the "action item" dropdown menu, see my attachment here. Something like "assign attachment" - then maybe popup with attachment to select -> then small icon appears next to action item and where you click it opens the assigned attachment. Thanks JJ

As refugees from Basecamp 2, one feature that I've not seen in action in ClickUp that we'll miss is the ability to see all files for a given project in one place—and, indeed, all files across all projects https://2.basecamp-help.com/article/208-files I believe a good place to initiate this view would be would be a 4th view button to the right of BOARD. (Please excuse the crudity of this model.) Files for a given list, space, team would be viewable depending on what level a user is situated. Being able to click on these files and go to the discussion(s) in which they're attached would also be fantastic. Indeed, using search or looking for the attachment icon on tasks is simple enough, but viewing all the "things" and starting there is a really powerful way to get users to get their bearings, especially if you're coming into a project that's been going on for awhile. Hopefully, this isn't a duplicate request. I'll take my answer off the air.

Hey Canny Community! We wanted to start a new thread here on the topic of attachments and Clips URLs from ClickUp. Currently, attachments and Clips can be protected using the private attachment feature that expires the links after an hour. We have already kicked off work on further enhancing how we handle attachments and Clips in the product and have a dedicated team working on this. To enable easy sharing of attachments via links, the current method of using an unguessable, randomized sequence of characters in the URL was designed and implemented at a time when this was the industry standard. Search engines do not have access or index these links unless you intentionally add the link to a public, indexed page. The links are not known to anyone externally. While many similar products to ClickUp still use this same methodology, we understand that our users want and need additional security for their attachments and Clips. To address this, we wanted to give you a transparent update on the plans and timeline to expect changes. We will have an option to have attachments and Clips URLs behind Workspace authorization and, as of now, we plan to have this completed by the end of July. This would mean that the URL would only be accessible when a user is logged in to your Workspace. We are also going to give you the ability to turn off attachment uploads entirely for your Workspace if that is your preference. We appreciate your patience while we work diligently to give you control of how you would like your attachments and Clips URLs handled.

As per Dropbox. But this would be really, really helpful. Thank you.

Would be nice to have file versioning on (task)attachments and option to compare the different versions. In our case: When working on tasks, we're uploading files to receive feedback from our team. After which a new file is uploaded with all changes (v2.0).

Since ClickUp does not have a very good system for creative review, we use subtasks. So I assign individual subtasks under the main task to each person I need to review the file. There is no way for me to link the file from the main task to their subtask. They all need to be viewing the same file for collaborative reviewing, so I cannot just upload the file to each of their subtasks as they would not see each other's comments. When I click the 3 dots to copy the link of the PDF I uploaded, that link just leads to an adobe PDF viewing tab, rather than opening the file in clickup for review. So putting that link into the subtask does not accomplish anything I need it to. My work around at the moment is to tag the reviewers in a comment on the PDF file so they can find it without clicking around (via the email they get sent with the comment), and then go back to their subtask (most likely via email again) to change the status / close their subtask. It's a clunky workflow. My reviewers are people who are less familiar with ClickUp and need a simple solution. --- My solutions: Add an option to Allow the subtasks to inherit / link to the files from the main task Make the link to the file open in ClickUp's reviewing window, rather than an adobe preview tab not linked to clickup. Then I can just link the file in the description of the subtask. Revamp the whole review process and actually add APPROVE / APPROVE WITH CHANGES / REJECTED buttons for reviewers, and a true review process, so I don't have to create a whole system with subtasks for them to review properly. (Wrike does this fairly well).

Allow Attachments to be a Column Field in List View. This would make it easy when a lot of tasks have attachments and we don't want to go through each one. Thanks for all the hard work and awesome product!

There should be a feature that rotate an image preview because images taken from a phone display horizontally on the computer app.

At the moment there is no way I can recover any file that I delete from the attachments in any task. In the situation when you accidentally hit the delete button on any file there should be a way to recover that file from the trash.
