How to Upload Images and Files to Events

Contents

Teamup has three fields where you can upload files: in the Description field, in the event comments, and in the Attachments field. It’s also possible to insert file links directly from Dropbox or another source in a custom formatted text field.

About uploading files

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.

You can upload files to Teamup calendar events on a browser and on the mobile app. Different subscription levels have different storage space limits. See the pricing page for details.

Each uploaded file is assigned a unique URL containing a randomized string that prevents unauthorized users from finding the document.

Upload in the Description field

*Upload images and documents right to the event. (Click to enlarge image.)*

Open the event editor.
Scroll to the Description field and select the upload icon.
If the file is an image, you can choose to show it as visible image or a clickable link.
Save the event.

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

If event comments are 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.

*Keep clear records with images or documents uploaded to comments. (Click to enlarge image.)*

Open the event.
Scroll to the Comments field and select Add Comment.
Select the upload icon to add a file or image. If the file is an image, you can choose to show it as visible image or a clickable link.
Save the comment, then Save or close the event.

Upload in the Attachments field

*Add multiple files for reference. (Click to enlarge image.)*

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. You can upload multiple files and show or hide the list of attachments in the field.

Calendar admins can deactivate this field or reorder it.

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 from 10MB to 20 MB, depending on subscription plan. The available file storage space per calendar varies according to subscription plan. See the pricing page for details. If you reach the file storage limit for your subscription plan and need more space, please contact support@teamup.com.
