Realm accepts different file types in different places. Most uploads use the general list. RFP questionnaires, document templates, and skills use shorter lists.

​
General uploads

These file types work for knowledge uploads (shared and private files), chat attachments, project files (supporting files and deliverables), and Upload a file in the document editor. The document editor works on one document at a time, so it does not accept ZIP files. Realm rejects other file types with the message “This filetype is not supported”. If a text file has another extension, rename it to .txt and upload it again.

​
Limits

  • Each file can be up to 200 MB.
  • By default, you can attach up to 20 files to each Chat message. Your organization can have a different limit.

​
ZIP files

You can upload a ZIP file of up to 1 GB. Realm extracts it and uploads each supported file inside.
  • A ZIP file can hold up to 100 files.
  • Each file inside can be up to 200 MB.
  • The total uncompressed size can be up to 1 GB.
  • A ZIP file inside a ZIP file is extracted one level deep only.
Realm skips these files without a message:
  • Files of a type that is not supported.
  • Hidden files (names that start with a dot).
  • Files over 200 MB.
