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.

How do I attach files?

There are two ways to attach files to a project:

• In the project details
• In the Files section (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 all the way down in the details to the Files section. 

   

4. Add the files you want (upload).

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 file you want (upload).

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

Using 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/managing is usually only possible with the appropriate write/admin permissions.
• For OneDrive/SharePoint links, the Microsoft permissions also apply.

Troubleshooting

I can’t see a file: 

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

Upload doesn’t work / file too large: 

The maximum file size is 500 MB.

OneDrive/SharePoint file can’t be opened: 

Check Microsoft sharing settings and your pop-up blocker when connecting for the first time.
