Zoom has currently disabled the file share option as it is deemed a possible security issue. It maybe re-instated once this is resolved.
Should you wish to share files please use the University approved file share method, such as Strathcloud.
In-Meeting file transfer allows you to send files to other meeting participants during the meeting through the in-meeting chat.
To enable the In-Meeting file transfer feature for your own use:
- Sign in to the Zoom web portal.
- Click Settings.
- Navigate to the File Transfer option on the Meeting tab and verify that the setting is enabled.
If the setting is disabled, click the Status toggle to enable it. If a verification dialog displays, choose Turn On to verify the change.
Note: For security purposes, the file types/file extensions that can be shared via file transfer can be limited.
Using In-Meeting file transfer:
- During a Zoom meeting click on Chat.
- Select More and Click on File to send a file.
- The following indication will be seen once the file is successfully sent.
- The participants will see a notice when a file is sent and will be given the option to download the file. Once Download is selected, they will be able to view the file.
