This article describes how to enable secure chat attachments in the Zendesk Agent Workspace.
You can configure Support settings to require authentication to access attachments in a ticket. If you enable secure attachments, attachments are accessible while a chat is ongoing, but once the chat ends, agents and end users who have access to a ticket must sign in before they can view or download ticket attachments. For more information, see Enabling private attachments.
Note: This setting does not apply to attachments in social or web messaging tickets.
To secure attachments
- In Admin Center, click
Objects and rules in the sidebar, then select Tickets > Settings.
- Scroll to Attachments.
- Under the Settings tab, select Enable secure downloads.
- Click Save tab.

Hi Oscar
Did you try enabling this type of attachment from your Chat dashboard?

Hi Liza,
as I understand, in the new Messaging function (since 2024) there is no differentiation between the doc file types?
As far as I could find, it's either allowing all file attachments or disallowing them; there was no option of allowing PDF, JPG, PNG and disallowing DOC, XLS files

Hi HashHub,
My instructions were for Chats not Messages. I still see Settings > Account > File sending on my Chat dashboard.
