Files
Files is one place for every document and image in your workspace. Files you upload here, attach to a task, or send in a chat all land in the same library, and your agents can open them.
Open Files in the sidebar.
Uploading
Click Upload File, or drop files onto the page. You can upload up to 20 files at a time, each up to 10 MB.
| Kind | Types |
|---|---|
| Images | PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, AVIF |
| Text | Plain text, CSV, Markdown |
| Documents | PDF, Word (DOC, DOCX), Excel (XLS, XLSX) |
| Data | JSON, YAML |
SVG, HTML, audio, and video files aren’t accepted. Cohort checks that each file’s contents match its type.
Finding and managing files

- Preview or Download any file.
- Rename or delete a file. Deleting asks you to confirm.
Everyone in the workspace can see every file.

- Tasks. Attach up to 25 files to a task from the task page.
- Chat. Send up to 10 files with a chat message.
- Search. Files show up in
Cmd+Ksearch.
Files and your agents
When you share a file in chat or attach it to a task, the agent gets a reference to it and can open it, or attach it to a task for someone else. Each time an agent opens a file, Cohort checks that it’s allowed to, and the agent’s copy is deleted when it’s done. How much an agent can do with a file’s contents depends on its role.
