Handling Large Attachments in Zendesk

Learn how to manage large attachments in Zendesk, including size limits and using Box app integration.

What should I do if my attachment is too large in Zendesk?

If your attachment is too large, you'll receive a warning in the ticket comment. Make sure your file is within the size limits for your Zendesk plan. You can also use the Box app integration to share large files. Remember, email attachments expand by 33% due to MIME encoding. If the file is too large, an error message will appear, and the file won't attach. This error is logged in the audit trail as an event, which you can view in the ticket's events.
