When I drag a .txt file in edit modus it shows the txt file in the browser instead of making it an attachment.
I followed the ChatGPT list of actions but none seem to work:
e.g. this one:
"How to force‑upload a .txt file as an attachment in the new Confluence editor
1. Use “Files & images” (the ONLY guaranteed attach method in the new editor)
In the Confluence Cloud editor:
- Open the page
- Click Edit
- Click the + icon in the toolbar
- Choose Files & images
- Select your
.txt file
This bypasses all drag‑and‑drop browser problems and always uploads as an attachment."
This one does not seem to work since after clicking files & images *nothing* happens, there is no dialog, nothing.
"
Option 2 — Upload via Edit mode
Uploading while editing the page also forces an attachment:
- Click Edit on the page.
- Drag your text file into the edit area.
Confluence will upload it as an attachment and insert a link to it.
"
This one does not work since this is the problem in the first place
" Option 1 — Use the “Attachments” page
This method always uploads the file as an attachment.
- Open the Confluence page.
- In the top‑right, click ••• → Attachments
(or scroll to the bottom of the page and click Attachments if available). - Drag your
.txt file into the upload box on the Attachments page, not on the main page."
There is NO attachment entry when clicking ...

5 Methods That Definitely Work
1. Use the paperclip “Files & images” button (this always forces an upload)
Inside the editor:
Insert → Files & images → Upload file
This bypasses browser drag‑and‑drop behavior entirely and forces Confluence to store the file as an attachment.
"
there is " insert"
" Go to the page’s Attachments view (100% reliable)
Even in newer Confluence versions, Atlassian confirms that drag‑and‑drop there is meant to always attach files. [confluence...assian.com]
Steps:
••• → Attachments → Drag your file here"
This is now in another sidebar details box... but when i click that one and try to drag the txt file I get that I have no rights to add files here.

I am starting to think this has todo with rights on this space
