# Attachments Sync in GitLab Integration

As of now, there’s a limitation to syncing attachments from GitLab. It doesn’t support attachments natively, but it is possible to sync them with a workaround by providing a cookie header.

### How to sync attachments <a href="#how-to-sync-attachments" id="how-to-sync-attachments"></a>

1. Please open your type mappings in your Jira Gitlab integration and go to the **Comments & Attachments** tab. Enable **Synchronize attachments:**

2. Get the **Cookie header** from your GitLab account. Use the developer's tool (F12 on Windows) within your GitLab’s groups page and go to **Network** > **Groups** > Click on **Headers** and scroll down to **Cookie**.

3. Copy the information and paste it into the **GitLab Cookie Header** field in Getint. Click **Apply,** to submit the changes and save your integration.

4. Make sure to test the attachments after enabling the feature.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Currently, attachments are only supported one way from GitLab to the other app in the integration. Also, no API is available to download and upload attachments through a Gitlab integration. As a result, this alternative remains the only option for downloading attachments from synced comments as long as they come from GitLab.
