Attach a file to a reply
Updated 29 September 2026
The Short Answer
Attach from My Files, your computer or Google Drive, the same as anywhere in PropKaki. One thing to watch: an attachment is cleared when you switch to another conversation or when you send, so it can never follow you to the wrong person.
Attaching in your Inbox works like everywhere else, with one safety behaviour worth knowing.
How do I attach something?
Three ways, the same three as everywhere in PropKaki:
- My Files — anything already uploaded.
- Your computer.
- Google Drive, if connected in Extensions → Connectors.
What if I switch conversations with a file attached?
It is cleared. Switching to another conversation drops whatever you had attached, and so does sending.
That is deliberate: a file quietly following you from one client to the next is the kind of mistake you only notice after it has been delivered.
Does attaching cost anything?
No. A reply costs the same with or without a file: 1 credit per message on WhatsApp and email, and nothing on your chat link. Storing the file costs no credits either, though it does count toward your storage.
Is there a size limit?
It depends on the channel the conversation is on. WhatsApp carries larger files. Email holds an attachment over 3 MB rather than sending it, because a message that big bounces at the far end.
Can I send a file to someone on my chat link?
Yes, if they are signed in to PropKaki. The paperclip in their conversation sends photos and PDFs from My Files, Upload from Computer or From Google Drive: up to 4 a message and 25 MB each. Picked files wait above the box and move into your bubble once they have reached them, and they open them in their own Inbox.
You and they each keep a copy, so a file counts against your storage and theirs. If theirs is full, a line says This file couldn't be sent to Rachel Goh. and your words still go.
For someone who isn't signed in, the paperclip is greyed: Files can only be sent to someone signed in to PropKaki.
