Attachments in projects

You can upload files directly in the project or add them in the Files tab of a project. All files created in the project context (including from tasks and status reports) are available in one place in the Files tab.

Attaching Files

There are two ways to attach files to a project:

• In the project details
• In the Files tab

Attach files in the project details

1. Open the project and click the three dots to the right of the project name.

2. Select Manage project.

   

    

3. Scroll down in the details to the Files section.

   

4. Add the files you want.

Attach files in the Files tab

1. Open the project.

2. Switch to the Files tab.

   

3. Click Add file in the top right.

   

4. Select the desired file.

Organize files (folders)

In the Files tab, you can structure project files using folders (e.g. "Contracts", "Planning", "Approvals").

• Create folders via New folder.
• Then move files into the appropriate folders via the context menu.

Manage files

Via the three-dot menu on a file, you can – depending on your permissions – e.g.:

• Move to folder
• Download
• Delete

OneDrive/SharePoint: Link files

If you want to connect files from OneDrive/SharePoint, you can link them (instead of uploading a copy). The file remains in Microsoft 365 and is shown in smenso as a link/attachment.

Permissions & visibility

• You only see files if you have access to the respective project or the original context.
• Deleting and managing is usually only possible with the appropriate write or admin permissions.
• For OneDrive/SharePoint links, Microsoft permissions also apply.

Troubleshooting

File is not visible

Check your project access and, if applicable, the permissions of the original context. Alternatively, search for the file via the global search and use filters.

Upload fails / file too large

The maximum file size is 500 MB. Also check your internet connection.

OneDrive/SharePoint file won't open

Check the Microsoft sharing permissions. When connecting for the first time, a popup blocker may also block the sign-in window – allow popups for smenso in your browser.
