Ticket attachments

A screenshot says more than three paragraphs describing an error. Tickets therefore accept files — with a clear list of permitted types and a checking chain every file passes through before it is stored.

#Permitted file types

ScopePermitted
StandardPNG, JPEG, WebP, plain text, JSON
Extended attachments (add-on)additionally PDF plus .docx, .xlsx, .pptx

Anything outside this list is rejected. What is checked is not the file extension but the actual content — a renamed file does not get through.

#Size limits

Two limits apply independently:

  • Per file — your plan's maximum file size, but at most 25 MB in any case
  • Per tenant — the total storage across all uploads

Once the storage quota is exhausted the upload is rejected. Then either clearing out old attachments or a larger plan helps.

#What happens to your file

Every attachment goes through the same chain: type check, content check, sanitisation — images re-encoded, PDFs reconstructed, Office documents checked for macros — virus scan, and only then storage. The full sequence is described in File security & virus protection.

If the virus scanner is temporarily unreachable, uploads are rejected rather than accepted unchecked. Administration is notified automatically when that happens.

#Deleting attachments

The person who uploaded it may delete it, as may anyone with tickets:manage or admin. The file is genuinely removed and the storage freed again — there is no recycle bin to recover anything from.

An attachment uploaded from within a comment belongs to that comment. Delete the comment later and the attachment goes with it.

Tip
Attachments count against the tenant's storage. On tickets with many screenshots it pays to tidy up after closing — the ticket history stays complete even when a screenshot is no longer needed.
