Attach a file to a task

You can attach files from your Google Drive to a task. The file shows as a chip on the task that opens it in Drive.

Attach a file

Section titled “Attach a file”
  1. Click the title of the task to open it.
  2. Click the “Attach file” button (paper clip icon).

  1. The first time, TasksBoard asks you to allow access to your Google Drive. Click “OK” and approve the request on Google’s page, for the account you use in TasksBoard.

  1. Pick the file in the Google Drive picker that opens.

This access only lets you pick a file: TasksBoard never reads your Drive files and has no offline access to them.

Remove an attachment

Section titled “Remove an attachment”

Open the task and click the x on the file chip. The file itself stays in your Drive.

Issues

Section titled “Issues”

If the picker does not open, reset the Drive access with this link: https://tasksboard.com/resetlogin, then try again.

If that does not help, check that your browser allows third-party cookies: the Google Drive picker relies on them. In Chrome, look for the crossed eye icon in the address bar and allow cookies for TasksBoard. If it works in an incognito window but not normally, a browser extension is probably blocking those cookies; on Brave, lower the shield for TasksBoard.
