Microsoft To-Do now supports task attachments, so you can store relevant files with your to-dos. After a limited initial rollout,attachments are now availableto all users across all platforms, including for shared lists.

To add a file to a task, click the task to open its details pane. At the bottom of the pane, above the notes field, click the “Add a file” button to select the files to add.

You can attach multiple files to each task, although there is an individual size limit of 25MB per file. As the files upload, you’ll get a preview of the progress within the task’s details pane.

The main task list displays a “Files attached” message beneath tasks with attachments. Clicking the details pane will show the task’s file list. Click a file to preview or download it. You can always add more files by clicking the “Add a file” button.

Combined with other To-Do features such as shared lists and task assignees, file attachments allow you to keep everything related to a task within To-Do. If the assignee won’t be able to complete a task without access to a particular file, attach it directly to the task to ensure it’s available when required.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
