UpKeep includes the ability to upload files to your account. There is no limit to the overall amount of files you can upload. This is most useful for teams that want to include manuals on their assets/equipment or an important video. File upload is available in UpKeep beginning with the Starter plan!
NOTE: When uploading files to UpKeep, it needs to be no larger than 40MB and will only accept PDF, png, jpeg, and MP4!
Right now, those are the only accepted file formats for UpKeep.
TIP: If you have PDFs that are larger than 40MB, you may need to try compressing them into a smaller size or splitting them into separate files under 10MB each.
Upload a file to (UpKeep in) the Files Section
TIP: be sure to label or rename your Files before or after uploading them. The Files section is limited to 50 files at a time, so you may need to utilize the search bar to find your file.
Navigate to the File section in your UpKeep account
Click on +File
Then click on the File Drop box to upload files (or drag and drop from your desktop into this box)
Then click Upload file
How to Add a File to a Work Order

Adding Files on the Mobile App
