Task Attachments and Files
Attach a File
- Open the task and go to its Files tab.
- In Attachments, click Attach File.
- Choose a file. It uploads straight away.
You attach one file at a time. There's no drag-and-drop or paste-to-upload.
Supported Files and Size
| Allowed types | Images, PDF, Word (.doc, .docx), Excel (.xls, .xlsx), PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx), .txt, .json, .zip |
|---|---|
| Maximum size | 50 MB per file |
A larger file shows File size must be less than 50MB and isn't uploaded.
Preview, Download and Remove
Each attachment shows its name and size, with these actions:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Preview | Opens a full-size preview. Images only. |
| Download | Downloads the file |
| Remove | Asks you to confirm, then removes the attachment. This can't be undone. |
There's no "download all" option and no file versions. To replace a file, remove it and attach the new one.
All Files on a Board
To see every file on a board in one place, open the board's Settings (⋮), then the Files tab:
- Board Files are files uploaded to the board itself.
- Task Files lists each task's attachments. Expand a task to preview or download its files.
