Nextcloud Deck attachments on iPhone,
from the device or Nextcloud Files.
Upload a file from the iPhone or link one already in Nextcloud Files. Either way, it lives on your server.

01
Where attachments live
On current servers, Deck attachments are ordinary files in Nextcloud Files. A file you add from the iPhone gets the same permissions, versions, and backups as everything else there.
02
Two ways to attach
On a card, tap Add and pick a source.
Upload from the device.
Camera, From Photos, or From Files. Right for something that exists only on the phone.
Link from Nextcloud.
Browse your server's folders and pick a file. Nothing is copied, so there is no second version to keep in sync.
03
What to expect on iPhone
Attachments show with previews. Tap one to open it inside the app, with progress and a Cancel button, or share it. Features vary by server and Deck version, and Deckloud follows what your server reports.
04
Attachments and offline work
The file lives on the server, so opening it can need a connection. Deckloud then says Connect to open this file instead of failing silently.
FAQ
Practical questions
Why does an attachment fail to upload?
Usually because of the server: a file size limit, a full quota, or missing permission on the board. If the upload fails in the web app too, fix it on the server.
Can other clients see attachments I add from iPhone?
Yes. They are standard Deck attachments, visible in the web app and any client that supports them.
Can I attach a file that is already on my Nextcloud?
Yes. Tap Add on the card and choose Link from Nextcloud. The card then points at the file everyone already uses.
Does linking a file move it out of its folder?
No. It stays in its folder with its permissions and version history; the card only holds a reference.
