A group-based communication interface with subsidiary file communications is described. A request to share a file in a feed of a group-based communication platform can be received, wherein the feed comprises a channel, a thread, or a direct message associated with a group of the group-based communication platform. A representation of the file can be rendered in a user interface presented via client device(s) of user(s) associated with the group, wherein the representation of the file is associated with an engageable link for accessing the file, and wherein a thread summary indicator, representing a thread of message(s) associated with the file, is presented proximate the representation of the file. Based at least in part on receiving an indication of an interaction with the thread summary indicator, the message(s) associated with the thread can be rendered in the user interface proximate the representation of the file.
