When using Planner I can't upload files from PC as I used to be able to do?

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,
Brian

Brian-Smith Thank you and to the earlier posters. So is the design issue permanent and we always won't be able to upload from a shared drive form the Planner tab in teams? For now we need to (i) upload from 'attach files' the Planner app on office.com or use the link from the elipse in Files?

ColinFBMH Uploading files from Tab in teams is not supported, maybe it will be available in future
