    Already posted this in the BBM forum and I am getting nowhere with replies.

    Getting ready to add all my band members to the Group, but why is there no option to attach files like spreadsheets, Media, Dropbox etc.... in the BBM Group setting? I only see a photo option.

    These features would be so handy for myself and my band members to keep business moving along steadily with communication.

    I am shocked a little Groups lacks this considering BB is so business focused. Also bummed you cannot attach documents in the list folders.

    You didn't answer my question. I am not asking about sharing browser links.

    I am asking how to attach files via Word, Excel, Media etc in the list folders.

    There is no option and your suggestion doesn't work. Tried it.

    No way to currently attach files in the same way you can attach images.

    But, you can definitely share links to cloud storage (e.g.: share direct links to a file on Dropbox, OneDrive, etc...). It's not what you asked for, but it's a decent alternative (not as good as full attachment sharing though) .

    QuietRioter I will answer your question. The answer is you can't attach anything in Group Chats on BBM. As a matter of fact before the latest update you weren't even able to attach pictures.

    I've been voicing how crappy (for a lack of better words) it is that BBM doesn't allow you to attach files, pictures, videos, voice notes, location, glympse... etc., right to the chat screen, like you can on individual chats or on WhatsApp. Even multi-person chats though they have more options, are limited. BBM just recently added the option to attach pictures so I am hoping that in future updates we will get all the same options in Group chats that we have in individual chats.

    Yes, it is crappy. Very crappy. Its like the best tool for business communication within BBM. We shouldn't have to jump through hoops and use other functions or 3rd party programs to get a task completed. My biggest disappointment is not being able to add MS Office files and media files in the file folder lists.

    I'm with you 100%. How can you claim your an app for business if people can't share files. But I'm cautiously optimistic that they will change myself and others like you have complained about this same issue across the forums, hopefully someone at BlackBerry is listening. They seem to be adding the options slowly. They've started with pictures let's see if they add the option to attach files, videos, voice notes, location and Glympse.
