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.
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 apps. Different subscription levels have different storage space limits. See the pricing page for details.

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.

It is possible to upload multiple files or images at once.
Supported file sources
- My Device
- Dropbox
- Google Drive
- OneDrive
- Flickr
- Box

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 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.
