Confluence gives you the option of limiting the maximum size of a single file attachment. Site administrators should keep in mind that the amount of disk space used by Confluence is directly proportional to the number and size of attachments put into the system.

To configure the maximum size of an attachment,

  1. Go to the 'Administration Console' and click on 'General Configuration' in the left panel.

  2. Click 'Edit' at the bottom of the 'Options and Settings' screen.

  3. Beside 'Attachment Maximum Size', enter the maximum size. The default is 10 mb.

  4. 'Save' your changes.

Is there a way to modify configuration so that "more attachments" allows me to upload six, rather than five, at one go? I'm working on a project with a large number of pages, each requiring six attachments.

No idea how to alter the number of attachments when clicking "More attachments", but I've had similar desires to upload more than 5 at once recently...

It would be superb if there was the ability to keep clicking "More attachments" to keep adding an additional 5 so you could effectively upload dozens and dozens per page at once. Alternatively, assuming it's easier, it would be useful if "More attachments" defaulted to an extra 9 rows so you could upload 10 at once.

We will add a configuration interface for attachments in the next version of Confluence. For now, you will have to edit the configuration file in your Confluence home directory manually in order to display more upload fields.

  1. Find the file: confluence-home/config/confluence-global.bandana.xml
  2. Change the property <maxAttachmentsInUI> from 5 to the amount of fields you want to be displayed.
  3. Save the file and restart Confluence

Cheers,
Jens
