File Uploads

Learn how to upload and share files with your Kindship agents for better context and collaboration.

Share files with your agents to provide context, reference materials, and information that helps them assist you better.

Why Upload Files?

Files give your agents additional context:

  • Documents — Share reports, articles, or notes for analysis
  • Images — Provide screenshots, diagrams, or visual references
  • Data — Upload spreadsheets or data files for review
  • Reference Material — Share anything relevant to your work

Your agent can read, analyze, and reference these files during conversations.

  2. Look for the attachment or upload icon

Using Files with Your Agent

Referencing Uploaded Files

Once uploaded, you can ask your agent about the file:

"What are the main points in the document I just uploaded?"

"Summarize this PDF for me."

"What does the data in the spreadsheet show?"

File Context

Your agent uses file contents to:

  • Answer questions about the content
  • Reference information in planning
  • Provide analysis and insights
  • Draw from the material in conversations

Combining Files and Conversation

Files work alongside your conversation:

  • Upload a document, then discuss it
  • Provide reference material for a project
  • Share screenshots to explain a problem

Managing Uploaded Files

Viewing Uploaded Files

Depending on the interface:

  • Files may appear in the conversation where uploaded
  • Some workspaces show a file list or library
  • Access history to see past uploads

File Retention

Uploaded files are:

  • Associated with the agent/conversation where uploaded
  • Available for reference in future conversations
  • Retained according to your plan's storage limits

Removing Files

If you need to remove an uploaded file:

  • Look for a remove or delete option on the file
  • Note that removing a file may affect agent context

Best Practices

Choose Relevant Files

Upload files that directly relate to your work with the agent:

  • Relevant documents, not entire libraries
  • Focused content, not massive dumps
  • Current materials, not outdated versions

Organize Your Uploads

Keep your file sharing organized:

  • Name files clearly
  • Upload to the appropriate agent
  • Don't upload the same file multiple times

Consider Privacy

Think before uploading:

  • Don't upload sensitive personal information
  • Be careful with confidential business data
  • Review files for private content first

File Quality

For best results:

  • Upload readable, clear documents
  • Images should be legible
  • Avoid corrupted or damaged files

Troubleshooting

Upload Failed

If a file won't upload:

  • Check file size against limits
  • Verify file type is supported
  • Try a different file format
  • Refresh and try again

File Not Processing

If uploaded but agent can't access:

  • Wait a moment for processing
  • Try referencing the file explicitly
  • Re-upload if necessary

Unsupported Format

If your file type isn't supported:

  • Convert to a supported format (PDF, text)
  • Copy relevant content into the conversation
  • Use screenshots if visual

File Too Large

If your file exceeds limits:

  • Compress images
  • Split large documents
  • Extract relevant sections only

Security & Privacy

How Files Are Handled

  • Files are encrypted during upload
  • Stored securely
  • Access controlled by your account

File Access

  • Only you and your team (if shared) can access
  • Agents don't share files between users
  • Files are isolated to their workspace

Sensitive Information

For sensitive files:

  • Consider what truly needs uploading
  • Review files before sharing
  • Use file features responsibly
