How to Share Files During an Adobe Share for Review Conversation
Question details
The user wants to know if they can upload and share additional files directly within an ongoing Adobe Share for Review conversation.
- Product
- Adobe Acrobat
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Participating in a PDF review session and needing to provide supplemental reference files to other reviewers.
- Observed behavior
- The Share for Review workspace acts solely as a commenting platform and does not offer a feature to upload or transfer arbitrary file attachments directly.
Before generating external sharing links, verify your organization's security and data protection policies regarding approved cloud storage services.
Use Cloud Storage Links in Review Comments
Since direct file uploads are not supported in Share for Review, upload your supporting files to an approved cloud storage service and share the access link in the PDF comments.
Adobe Share for Review is designed exclusively for PDF commenting and collaboration to streamline feedback. To share additional documents without disrupting the review workspace, you must utilize a third-party file hosting solution.
Upload the necessary reference files to an approved cloud collaboration service, such as OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox.
Create a sharing link for the uploaded file. Ensure that the access permissions are set correctly so that the other PDF reviewers can view or download the file.
Navigate to your ongoing Adobe Share for Review conversation and locate the relevant section of the PDF where the file is needed.
Click to add a new comment or reply to an existing thread, paste your secure sharing link, and post it for the other participants to access.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I embed a file directly into the PDF before sending it for review?
Yes, you can use the 'Add Attachment' feature in Adobe Acrobat to embed files directly into the PDF document itself before you initiate the Share for Review process.
Why doesn't Adobe allow arbitrary file uploads in Share for Review?
The Share for Review workspace is strictly optimized for commenting and annotating the specific PDF being reviewed. Restricting file uploads helps maintain platform security and prevents the workspace from functioning as an unmonitored file-transfer service.
Are links posted in Share for Review comments clickable?
Yes, standard URLs pasted into the comment box during an active Share for Review session will typically format as clickable hyperlinks, allowing other participants to access the hosted files easily.
