Some users may notice that when they switch to _Bookface_ the "File Attachment" button in the post Compose browser is **missing**. This is _not_ a bug! It was a UX design decision to **purposely** hide that button. Why?
There is no interface for actually managing the files you upload and attach. You cannot rename the files and you can't delete them. If you accidentally upload a private file you can't remove it. It will accept several different file types, but uploaded videos have to be quite short due to file upload size limits, and even that limit is set rather high, file uploads will often fail. If you are attaching both photos and files the interface can appear to be in photo mode but upload the image as a file instead. Again, you can never delete files uploaded in error. You would have to contact the server administrator and have them manually delete the file for you.

Friendica users who are using the Userstyles version of _Bookface_ can edit it at the top of their custom stylesheet.
If you know how to use your browser's Developer Tools you can also "Inspect" the "Photo" button in the Browser and find the "File" button next to it, then temporarily unhide it to upload or attach a file on a case-by-case basis.
Switching Friendica to any other scheme or theme will also reveal the button. Only _Bookface_ hides it.
