    Hi DaHu24,

    unfortunatelly, the Planner Web Part does not currently support the direct upload of local files to Sharepoint.
    Instead, the available options are "From team files" and "Link to a URL".

    To work around this limitation,  you can upload your local files to a SharePoint Document Library first, and then link them to your Planner tasks:

    1. Navigate to the desired SharePoint Document Library where you intend to upload your files.
    2. Use the "+ New" option to add new folders or documents, or select "+ Upload" to upload existing files or folders¹.
    3. Once your files are successfully uploaded to the Document Library, you can establish links to them in your Planner tasks using the "Link to a URL" option within the Planner WebPart.

    This approach allows you to indirectly associate local files with your Planner tasks by first uploading them to the Document Library.

    You can also send a feedback request to Microsoft in Microsoft Planner:

    - Click the Settings icon

    - Under "Planner" click "Send Planner feedback".

    - This opens "Send Feedback to Microsoft"

    - Click on "I have a suggestion" 

    Use the Document Library web part - Microsoft Support

    Use the Planner web part - Microsoft Support
