When using Planner I can't upload files from PC as I used to be able to do?
It now forces me to select from SharePoint or a link? This seems a sudden decrease in functionality?
ColinFBMH are you accessing the Planner from Teams tab? If so, go to tasks.office.com and you should able to see the option to upload the file from the computer.

I am using SharePoint with Planner and no upload option for "From Computer", what am I needing to do in order to resolve this?

SanthoshB1 Thank you. Indeed I am accessing the Planner from the tab in Teams. Felt sure I had uploaded the from shared drive using the tab but perhaps not. Are we saying this feature is simply not allowed using the tab? I'm surprised why not?

The reason for the design choice here ColinFBMH, was that compared to the experience in the web it isn't as obvious where you'd want to put a document. Rather than re-invent the wheel it was thought that using the Teams UI to add a document and then the Planner UI to link could achieve the right result - and allow work on additional features rather than duplicating code. Sorry for the extra few clicks needed here.
Best regards,

- Of course Santhosh is correct 🙂
