Hi, is there a possibility to allow to an agent to enable file sending in a particular chat session? On the enterprises account file sending is globally off, but there are rare cases when for a customer needs to be enabled in the chat to be able to send a file to the agent. Thanks in advance for the answer

Hi Jozsef,
 
Thank you for reaching out to Zendesk Support.
 
In regards to your concern, unfortunately, this is not possible. The following setting is set globally, either enabled or disabled. It's applied to every agent and cannot be bypassed. 
 
I would highly encourage you to post this as product feedback on our Zendesk Chat product feedback page. This will help our devs and managers to see some of the features that our customers would like to see. 
 
Thank you and have a wonderful day ahead!
 
 
 
Kind regards,

Hi, it is possible to disable attachments just in the mobile version of the app (allowing attachments on web but not mobile)?

@Rafael,
 
This feature will be for both platform. I'd recommend creating a Community post separately for that with your use case to help get more visibility and votes on the idea. Then, others can share their use cases to further drive demand for that feature.

Hi. Is it possible to turn off file sharing for Messaging? There doesn't seem to be an option under Account Settings in the dashboard. If we are unable to send / receive private attachments, then we need this turned off since we deal with sensitive data from our customers. But we do not want to disable attachments for the whole account. 

Thanks, 

Steven.

Hi Steven, 
 
Good day! If you are referring to the file attachment button to be removed on the widget, You can go to the admin centre > Channels > messaging
 
 

 
Hope that helps!

Dear Zendesk Support Team,

I have spent over an hour attempting to disable the file-sharing feature using your available documentation, but unfortunately, I could not locate the necessary settings. The instructions referenced in your documentation, specifically for navigating the Chat Dashboard settings, do not seem to apply to my current Zendesk setup, which has made it difficult to achieve the desired configuration.

I would suggest updating or removing outdated documentation to avoid confusion and ensure users can easily follow along with accurate steps.

Additionally, I tried to schedule a training session for further assistance, but there are currently no available slots. Could you advise on alternative support options or provide an update on when training sessions may become available?

Thank you very much for your attention and assistance.
