Attach a file

I want to …

… attach a file or image to a task.

Before you start

  • Storage lives in Frankfurt (Google Cloud, europe-west3).
  • Images, documents, and unknown files: 10 MB each. Video and audio: 50 MB.
  • Per task: 10 attachments and 75 MB combined.
  • Executables, scripts, HTML, SVG, and Office files with macros are blocked.

Here's how

  1. Open the task and scroll to Attachments.
  2. Tap Add attachment and pick a file.
  3. For images, Zeitlicht offers compression (longest edge 2560 px). Upload original keeps the full file if you want that.
  4. During the upload you see progress and can tap Cancel upload.
  5. After the upload, open the file with Open. Images and PDFs often open inline; other files download.
  6. To remove it, confirm the delete. Workspace storage is freed.
  7. Image cards show a small thumbnail.

The result

The file sits on the task and counts against the workspace quota.

Common questions

Why was the upload rejected?

The file is too large, the type is blocked, the task already has 10 attachments, or the workspace is full. The exact message sits under the picker.

Does the thumbnail count as an attachment?

Zeitlicht creates the thumbnail itself. It does not count as one of your 10 attachments.
