Attachments in tasks

You can attach files directly to tasks or link files from OneDrive/SharePoint. Task attachments are also collected in the project's Files tab, so you can quickly find them again later.

There are two ways to attach files to a task:

• Directly in the task
• In the project's Files tab

Upload a file in the task

1. Open the task.
2. Go to the Files section. 
   
3. Click Add file or the + icon.
4. Select the file and upload it.

Upload a file via the Files tab and assign it

2. Switch to the Files tab.

   

3. Click Add file in the top right.

   

4. Select the desired file.
5. Then assign the file to the task: open the three-dot menu on the file and select Assign. Then choose the desired task.

Permissions & visibility

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

Troubleshooting

Attachment is not visible

Check if you have access to the task. Alternatively, use the global search (filter: Files + if needed, In project).

OneDrive/SharePoint file won't open

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

Upload fails

Check the file size (max. 500 MB) and your internet connection.
