Calendar events are often more than a date and a time. You may need to include event-related documents and files: meeting agendas, travel information, checklists, instructions, maps, location details, product images, or a picture of goods delivered.
With Teamup Calendar, you can upload images and documents to an event both in a browser and with Teamup mobile apps. There are three fields where you can upload files: in the Description field, in the event comments, and in the Attachments field (beta, currently available in the Live Demos).
On a browser and on the mobile apps, uploading to Teamup’s file servers is available with a Premium subscription. Anyone can try this feature in the Live Demos, which have the file upload feature fully enabled, including the new Attachment Field.
Upload in the Description field
To upload a file in the Description field, open the event editor, scroll to the Description field, and click the upload icon. If the file is an image, you can choose to show it as visible image or a clickable link.
To resize an image, select it with your mouse, then click and hold a corner and drag adjust the size. To align an image, click the three dots in the toolbar, then choose the alignment.
Upload in event comments
When the Comment feature is enabled, users can add and view comments in the event viewer/editor, and on the event page. Event comments have a toolbar like the Description field with formatting and uploading options. See more about event comments.
Click the Upload button to add a file or image, then click Save.
Upload in the Attachments field
The Attachments field allows you to upload files to an event in a dedicated field. You can then choose to insert attachments into the Description field, if desired.
Note that the Attachments field is currently being released in phases. Please contact Teamup support if you experience any issues while using it. The Attachments field is also enabled on our live demo calendars so anyone can try out this feature.

Multiple file and image sources
On the browser, when you click the upload icon, a pop-up window will appear:
- You can paste an image that you have copied to your clipboard.
- You can choose from the list of source options or drag a file from your local computer or mobile devices, or one of the many supported file hosting services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Instagram, Flickr and many more.
It is possible to upload multiple files or images at once.
Supported file sources
- My Device
- Dropbox
- Google Drive

Teamup file and image management
Each file uploaded using Teamup’s premium uploading feature is assigned a unique URL containing a randomized string that prevents unauthorized users from finding the document.
Uploaded documents are deleted 30 days after a document link is removed from an event or an event is deleted.
Supported file types
To know whether a file with a specific file format can be uploaded, you may check the MIME type of the file. The following MIME types are currently supported:
- image/
- text/
- application/
Many commonly used file formats such as .pdf, .doc, .ppt etc. have MIME type “application/”, therefore you can upload and attach them to your events. Here is a summary list of file formats and their mime types.
Maximum file size
The maximum file size that can be uploaded is 20 MB. The available file storage space per calendar is 50 GB. If you reach that limit and need more space, please contact support@teamup.com.
Domains to be whitelisted
If your organization uses a firewall to control your network traffic, it is important to whitelist these domains to ensure the file uploading function to work properly:
- fonts.gstatic.com
- fonts.googleapis.com
- s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com
- static.filestackapi.com
- process.filestackapi.com
- www.filestackapi.com
