Hi @Mokshada Marcharchand 

@Prachi Bolar provided the right documentation.

on that a note, you will need to have stored the files on a location that is reachable by your instance.

Can the attachment be on my local machine? How to connect the attachments with JIRA? I have to import my work items from a csv which also has some attachments related.

Hi @Mokshada Marcharchand 

No they can't be on you local machine, this is stated in the KB provided by @Prachi Bolar 

"Attachment URLs must use HTTP or HTTPS and be in a location that your Jira instance can access."

Can it be on a Sharepoint?? .Or can you suggest some alternatives

Hi @Mokshada Marcharchand 

I don't know, it just needs to be accessible via http or https and the Atlassian Cloud needs to be able to access this location, without restrictions.
