I’m using the linux client but I’m unable to upload files while my friends that are on windows are able to upload files just fine. I can still see the files, I can download them, and I can create folder structures in the files as well. I don’t know what logs to provide, but if needed please let me know where I can find them and I’ll happily provide.

You can upload files but not pick them.
The file picker is disabled on Linux since beta 43 because of “upstream problems”.
So atm the only way to upload / send files or set an avat is by using drag and drop.

I still can’t upload the files, even when using the drag and drop. It just says that I’m attaching it to a message with a 5mb file limit.
Well then your file is bigger than 5 MB. You can only send files up to 5 MB on the myteamspeak chat server (currently the only available one for global chat).

I’m using my own dedicated server with an unrestricted file limit, and when I use windows I was able to upload a multi gigabyte file just fine, although the drag and drop still did not work there, I had to use the file picker.
I’ve figured out a solution, I’ll just use the scp command to transfer files to the server so that others can use them while I’m booted into my linux partition.
Drag and drop only supports only 5 MB, which should change in the future, but is currently the limit as it is not the same upload mechanism as the file picker.
I’m also unable to upload files or server icons via picker and drag and drop - which is especially bad since I’m testing the TeamSpeak 5 server which isn’t backwards compatible atm.
Hey there wanted to mention that the drag and drop of the filesystem wont work for some reason you need to use the file browser for it to work
Drag and drop only works with files up to 5mb due to technical limitations of the implementation. If I remember correctly it should at some point be reworked so that it supports more than 5mb files.

Ye sure but as i sad when you use filebrowser it seems to work and the data wasnt 5 mb btw
same issue still applied sadly…
How am I supposed to change my avatar if the selection dialog doesn’t open neither drag and drop works? Come on, guys! It’s 2025 and Linux gaming has been growing.
[Edit] The selection dialog opens in the “server file manager”. Did you forget to add the dialog in other parts of the program?
Hi, I am encountering an issue when trying to upload a video file to my community server, the file size is 9.84 MB and I’ve read in an old support article that the maximum allowed size is 10 MB yet I get the error message that the File is too large. Someone mentioned in a comment not too long ago that the maximum size is only 5 MB and now I’m confused.
Is this issue related to the ongoing issues or is the actual allowed size smaller?
Will be that migrated to self-hosted servers @SYOX @LeonMarcelHD is that the case in development? I can see big advantage of big file sizes and speed, if you self host, it doesnt make heavy load on your infrastructure.
My friends had issues with your servers when someone sent a file, that some providers didn’t show attachment correcly - it was just loading (this issue was already in TS5).
Are you trying to send the video to the chat or upload it to the file browser? If you try it in the chat, try the file picker, because drag and drop supports a maximum of 5mb. If you try it in the file browser you have to check if all permissions are set correctly.

theres infinite file upload as long as you upload it in the file browser thing, you can then copy a link to it and send it in chat.

Thank you for your responses.
I tried uploading the file via the paperclip icon on the bottom right of a chatroom on my community server but that didn’t work with that 9.84MB MP4.
So just now I’ve tried uploading the file again by right clicking the chatroom<Browse Files and this worked and I could link it to the chat, however there’s no option to just play the video in the chat, instead my friends would need to download the file first and then play it on their computer.
Do you know if there is maybe another way of linking the file to the chat that allows it to be played/viewed in the chatroom or is this currently the only way of sharing a clip?

I’m having the same issue here; drag and drop only has 5 mb limit, and even when using the file browser, it still has the 5mb limit. There’s no option to right click and browse, so I’m limited on how much I can upload.
Do you know of any other workarounds, or are we just going to have to hope that the developers impliment/fix the feature in the future?
I already reported this issue on GitHub under the TS6 Server repository, but it was incorrectly closed as COMPLETED (link below):
I’m reporting it here as suggested, but honestly, I’m quite disappointed that bugs and feature requests are being managed through a forum.
A forum isn’t exactly the smartest or most logical place to handle proper issue tracking and feedback.
