File Sharing

Teamwork enables workspace members to share all types of files including images, videos, spreadsheets, documents, etc. When a member of a workspace shares a file, the file is added to the workspace as a new workspace message that is accessible to all members of the workspace. All shared files are also listed in the Files panel that opens by tapping Files at the top of the workspace. Files shared with a workspace are listed by date with the most recently added file displayed at the top of the Files panel and the oldest file displayed at the bottom. If there are no files shared with a workspace, the Files panel displays a message indicating no files have been shared.

You can share a file that is stored on your mobile phone, in another app, or in a cloud-based file sharing account. Files must be uploaded one at a time and cannot be larger than 20 MB. Images shared with a workspace display a thumbnail preview in the Files panel when the image is 12 MB or less and is a .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .bmp, or .gif file.

If you are signed in to Teamwork when a file is shared and your notifications for that workspace are set to All, a notification appears on your mobile phone displaying the workspace name, the file name, and the name of the person who shared the file. To learn more, see the Notifications topic.
