How to use?

The Advanced File Gallery helps you manage and interact with attachments from your items in a visual and intuitive way.

Please note that the Advanced File Gallery displays only files added to the Files and monday Docs columns from the table view on the board and files added as updates in the item view.

Files added in the Files tab from the item view are not supported.

Supported files

The gallery lists all attachments and provides previews for the following formats:

  • Images (JPG, PNG, etc.)

  • GIFs

  • Videos (MP4, etc.)

Files that can't be previewed (such as CSVs, text documents, or links to external drives) will still be listed, but without a preview.

If your total file size exceeds 1 GB, the app will automatically split the content into multiple compressed folders and download them sequentially. The download will be processed only when the Advanced File Gallery is open.

The download will only proceed while the Advanced File Gallery is open. Do not exit the app until you receive a confirmation that the download is complete.
