Other options are:

- For attachments added to the work item: use option to "Attachments on this work item" in the Description field

- For your own internal files: https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Jira-questions/How-to-add-a-link-to-an-internal-document/qaq-p/2856545

Hi @vilhan and Welcome to Atlassian Community!

It seems that you are a former Data Center user and want to reproduce the Data Center attachment feature with a hyperlink that, when clicked, leads to attachment downloading.

However, I've found that Jira Cloud doesn't allow you to do it the same way. In Jira Cloud, you can mention an attachment like this (with a clickable big square):
screen1.png

The only way to make it smaller is by using the inline format:
screen2.pngscreen3.png

 

BUT! I've discovered a more advanced way:

  1. Upload your attachment to the issue

  • Open browser DevTools and go to the Network tab

  1. Click the download button on the attachment

  2. Find the request that has a cdn value in the Initiator column
    screen4.png

  3. Double-click this request and copy the link
    screen5.png

  4. Create a hyperlink in the usual way
    screen6.png

  5. And you'll get what you want:

If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to ask me, and I'll do my best to help.
