This feature is absolutely needed. I just came from 1 Password and subscribed to Bitwarden premium, I was hoping to be able to quick look or display the attachments without downloading them as in 1 Password. As it is the attachment (paid) function is useless
Keeping some kind of local copy of attachments is a very necessary feature. If the tool offered this, signing up for premium would be a done deal - but without it, the value of premium is questionable. Consider a major emergency and you need to show a driverâs license or some other sensitive information but cell or Wi-Fi isnât available.
Welcome, @urnotkosh to the community!
One thing to note about Bitwarden is that it is inherently an online password manager. When offline, one can unlock a vault that is already logged in and one can view password entries, but notably, one can not make changes when offline and one can not login when offline.
If you are looking for an encrypted off-line storage for files, you might check out veracrypt. It creates a folder on your PC into which you can store any file you would like.
Hi there,
An attachment preview without downloading would be nice, now you need to download the attachment, not very user-friendly.
We use Bitwarden company wide, so lots of attachments.
Thanks!
Apparently Bitwarden has stated they will not support this.
Do you have a source/link for that statement?

At some point just prior to 2024.9.2 being pushed out, on the web app when you clicked the attachment it opened in a new browser tab to view. 2024.9.2 reverted so that it had to be downloaded.
Opening PDFs in a browser tab never worked (at least not in Chrome and Edge), and it seems that was the reason why this was reverted.
2 years ago and no plans to fix/enhance viewing instead of downloading. Therefore there are no plans to support this.
I wasnât trying to prove you wrong, just providing some background info for what likely lead to the 2024.9.2 release. But your most recent comment is not fair, because developers did come up with a fix in July 2022, although that evidently stopped working at a later date; nonetheless, even recent discussion among the devs indicates that they were trying to get this to work, but evidently ran into insurmountable issues with Chrome. So itâs not like this issue has been ignored.
well isnât that very thing that bitwarden is about, itâs telling you a la the warden to go out and do your things this is a secured perimeter, ha.
Hola yo estarĂa interesado en que si subo una imagen a Bitwarden cuando quiera verla no tenga que descargarla
Gracias
