Base44 AI Chat Attachments Now Go to Private Storage
Base44Files attached in the Base44 AI chat are now kept in private storage and shown through a temporary link. A file becomes part of the app only when the AI copies it in. The change does not apply to apps imported from GitHub.
Key Takeaways
- Files attached in AI chat are now stored privately rather than at a public link.
- Users see attachments through a temporary link, so the address does not stay open.
- A file becomes part of the app only when the AI copies it in.
- Sharing a file for context therefore does not publish it.
- GitHub-imported apps are excluded from the change.
- It follows a wider Base44 trend toward private-by-default file handling.
Private storage for chat attachments
Base44 changed where files attached in the AI chat are kept. They now sit in private storage and are shown to the user through a temporary link, instead of through a public address. A document, image or screenshot shared with the AI for context is no longer exposed at a link that anyone could open.
When a file becomes part of the app
An attachment becomes part of the app only when the AI copies it in. Sharing a file with the chat does not publish it. Users keep control over which files end up inside the shipped app.
Scope
The behavior does not apply to apps imported from GitHub, which keep their existing handling. The change fits a wider move in Base44 toward private files, such as the ability to make files in an app's library private.
