View all files for the entire Workspace (File Manager)
beta
Adam Ennis
As refugees from Basecamp 2, one feature that I've not seen in action in ClickUp that we'll miss is the ability to see all files for a given project in one place—and, indeed, all files across all projects
I believe a good place to initiate this view would be would be a 4th view button to the right of BOARD. (Please excuse the crudity of this model.)
Files for a given list, space, team would be viewable depending on what level a user is situated.
Being able to click on these files and go to the discussion(s) in which they're attached would also be fantastic.
Indeed, using search or looking for the attachment icon on tasks is simple enough, but viewing all the "things" and starting there is a really powerful way to get users to get their bearings, especially if you're coming into a project that's been going on for awhile.
Hopefully, this isn't a duplicate request. I'll take my answer off the air.

Hey everyone 👋, really appreciate the request for a dedicated File Hub. The concept is strong and absolutely aligned with where we want ClickUp to go, and it’s something we’d love to build. Right now our primary focus is performance and overall quality, so we are not in a position to commit to timelines yet. That said, this idea is very much on our radar, and once we finish strengthening the foundation, it’s the kind of improvement we’d be excited to explore.

This is a great improvement; it will revolutionise how we handle attachments and versions. We are really looking forward to using this one. Please include us in the Beta rollout.

Stewart McGown My organization would also like to be in the Beta for this as well. There are 3 things on my mind:
1) I'm not sure I understand the "Explorer" View, can you explain what that is and how it's different than the "Collection" View?
2) It now seems you can drag and drop files out of ClickUp (I'm not sure when this changed, but I know at one point it wasn't possible). This is an absolute game changer! I think the next big step for file management is a sharing option. For example, if there's a PDF or Word Document that I have attached to a task, I'd like to be able to click on that document and have an option to share the file. It would also be nice if within a task, when I go to the "email" option in the activity section, that ClickUp files (especially the ones that are attached to the task) show up as options. Right now, the options are "Upload file", "Dropbox", "OneDrive/SharePoint", "Google Drive", etc.
3) Now that this is coming online, it's even more important now to implement a full backup https://feedback.clickup.com/feature-requests/p/full-exportbackup. It sounds like the thread I linked to is more for everything within ClickUp, which I know is a huge undertaking. In particular though, as you guys take this huge step with File Management, we really need to be able to easily export and back up the files we are storing here.
I cannot begin to tell you how excited my team and I are for this! This is a huge step forward for ClickUp! Please continue to make improvements on this, and I could see us one day completely replacing our OneDrive with ClickUp's file management.

Wanted to share some early previews of a few related features that might help solve some of the problems folks are having with file management in your workspaces.
I had the same problem as everyone here when I used to run my business on ClickUp! Now that I'm here, I've added some of the views I've always wanted.
- Collection Views
- These give you File & Folder management in ClickUp.
- You can upload entire folders with drag and drop, upload new versions of the same attachment, browse nested files, edit text.
- I've also refreshed all the icons for file types - previously we didn't really have much of a concept of 'per-file' icons, now we cover most of the common types!
- Collection Viewswill be available for you to use hopefully next week!
I'm a huge user of attachments as I know many of you are - let me know what you'd need out of this experience to be more productive in ClickUp.
- Explorer View (related to this, I think!)
- Explorer view gives you a hierarchical way to explore your entire workspace.
- ClickUp was built around the hierarchy. Explorer shows you the hidden hierarchy of your entire business, you're able to cleanly see the 'tree' of your workspace all the way from the 'Workspace' down to a deeply nested 'comment'.
- I built this first and foremost as a toy for myself - as a ClickUp enthusiast I love being able to visualise my entire workspace as a 'filesystem' and see how every piece fits together top to bottom.
- This feature might be available for Clickup Labs users soon :eyes:

It's also not just Files that this new 'Explorer' view supports - it's also got all your integrations!

Stewart McGown when this is going to be integrated in Clickup?? Please 🙏🙏

Sorry I saw you mentioned next week!!! THANKS 🙏👍👍👍👍�

Hi Stewart McGown , thanks for sharing this preview! 😊
One thing I’m really curious about: how will Collection Views relate to existing files and attachments in tasks and subtasks within a List?
Will a Collection View be a separate place where files need to be added and managed, or will it be integrated with the files that are already attached to tasks and subtasks in a list?
I’m really hoping for the latter. Being able to manage and browse all existing task and subtask files in one integrated view is, I think, what many of us have been waiting for. 😊
David J Geiger
Stewart McGown This looks awesome! Can't wait to see this in action!
Daniel Urbano
Wim Delfs Stewart McGown I have the same exact question! Thanks for asking, Wim.
Wim Delfs
I'd love to hear whether there has been any progress on this request since the last official update in November 2025.
At the time, the response was that performance and quality were the main priorities before investing in larger feature improvements such as a dedicated File Hub.
Nearly a year later, this request has grown to more than 2.1k votes, which suggests this isn't an edge case or a niche request. For many organizations, the lack of a centralized file view remains a significant gap compared to platforms such as Basecamp.
From the outside, it appears that a considerable amount of effort has been invested in AI-related capabilities over the past year. While those are undoubtedly valuable, many customers are still waiting on foundational collaboration features like this one.
Could the team provide an update on the current status? Is this still under consideration, on the roadmap, or no longer being pursued? Bryan Lovgren Ciara O Brien

Also really just want a "Files" View for a Space/Folder/List, so you can see all files contained within, along with the location (Task) they are attached to.
