Attachments

Paw supports file attachments on Login and Secure note items.

Attachments are part of local vault data. When you make a backup, choose a format that supports them.

Back up attachments

• .paw archives include attachment files and item history.
• .cxf and .cxf.age do not include attachment binaries.
• Paw rejects CXF export when the vault contains attachments.

Use a .paw backup when you need to move or restore a vault with attachments.

In the desktop app:

1. Open a Login or Secure note item.
2. Scroll to the Attachments section in the details view.
3. Select Add attachment to select a file, or use the action buttons next to an existing attachment to download (Save) or delete (Remove) it.

Managing attachments from the CLI

Use the paw cli attachment subcommands:

• Add an attachment:

  paw cli attachment add <VAULT/TYPE/NAME> <FILE_PATH>
• List attachments:

  paw cli attachment list <VAULT/TYPE/NAME>
• Save an attachment to disk:

  paw cli attachment save <VAULT/TYPE/NAME> <FILE_ID> --output <DESTINATION_PATH>
• Remove an attachment:

  paw cli attachment remove <VAULT/TYPE/NAME> <FILE_ID>
