Share Files to ClickUp on iOS

Sharing files from your iPhone or iPad directly into ClickUp helps you keep documents, images, and other assets organized in the same workspace where your tasks live. This guide walks you through every step to send files into your Workspace using the iOS share menu.

Requirements to Share Files to ClickUp

Before you can use the iOS share feature with ClickUp, make sure the following requirements are met:

You have the ClickUp mobile app installed on your iOS device.
You are logged in to your ClickUp Workspace.
You have network connectivity so the file can upload.
You have access to at least one Space, Folder, List, or task where you can add or attach files.

If you do not yet have the mobile app, download it from the App Store and sign in with your ClickUp account credentials.

Enable the ClickUp Share Extension in iOS

The first time you try to share a file from another app, you may need to enable ClickUp in the iOS share sheet. This only needs to be done once.

Open any app on your iOS device that supports sharing, such as Photos, Files, or Mail.
Select a file, image, or document that you want to share.
Tap the Share icon to open the iOS share sheet.
Scroll horizontally through the available app icons.
Tap More (the three dots) at the end of the app row.
In the list of apps, find ClickUp.
Toggle the switch next to ClickUp to enable it as a share option.
Tap Done to save your changes.

After enabling the extension, ClickUp will appear in your share sheet as an available destination whenever you share supported file types.

Share Files to ClickUp from Any iOS App

Once ClickUp is visible in the share sheet, you can send files to your Workspace from compatible iOS apps.

Basic steps to share content to ClickUp

Open the app that contains the content you want to share (for example, Photos, Files, Safari, or Mail).
Select the item you want to send, such as an image, PDF, or document.
Tap the Share button to open the iOS share sheet.
Tap the ClickUp icon in the list of apps.
Wait for the ClickUp share window to load.

After the ClickUp window opens, you can choose where to send the file and how it should appear in your Workspace.

Choose destination in ClickUp

Use the in-app controls to decide where your file will go:

Location: Pick the Space, Folder, and List that should receive the file.
Task selection: Choose an existing task or create a new one, depending on what the ClickUp share interface allows for your version.
File usage: Attach the file to the task or add it in the way the share window specifies.

The exact options you see may vary with app updates, but the workflow always centers on selecting a destination inside your ClickUp hierarchy and confirming the upload.

Add Details When Sharing Files to ClickUp

To keep your Workspace organized, add context when you send files to ClickUp from iOS.

Include a descriptive title

Use a clear name that helps teammates quickly understand what the file contains. For example:

“Client A – Signed Contract – Q1” instead of “scan001”.
“Homepage Wireframe v2” instead of “image 23”.

Add a description or comment

If the ClickUp share sheet offers a text field, use it to add:

What the file is for.
Who needs to review it.
Any due dates or next steps.

This information can save time later, especially when multiple team members collaborate on the same task in ClickUp.

Manage Files After Uploading to ClickUp

After you complete the share action, your file is uploaded to your chosen task or location in ClickUp.

Confirm that the file appears in ClickUp

Open the ClickUp app on your iOS device or desktop.
Navigate to the Space, Folder, and List you selected while sharing.
Open the relevant task or location.
Look for the file under the attachments area or designated file section.

If your network connection was slow or interrupted, you may need to wait a moment or retry the upload.

Organize and collaborate on shared files

Once the file is in ClickUp, you can:

Rename the file to match your naming conventions.
Mention teammates in comments to get feedback.
Link the file to related tasks for better visibility.
Use task statuses, assignees, and due dates to track work related to that file.

Handling your files directly in ClickUp keeps communication and documents together for easier project management.

Troubleshooting ClickUp File Sharing on iOS

If you run into problems sending content from iOS apps to ClickUp, try the following checks.

ClickUp not showing in the share sheet

Confirm that the ClickUp app is installed.
Re-open the share sheet and tap More to verify that ClickUp is enabled.
If you still do not see it, force close the app you are sharing from and try again.

File fails to upload to ClickUp

Make sure your internet connection is stable.
Verify that you are logged in to the correct Workspace.
Check that the file type is supported by the app you are sharing from and by ClickUp.
Try sharing a smaller file to rule out size or network issues.

For additional technical details and the latest instructions, you can review the official documentation on the ClickUp help center page for sharing files on iOS.
