location for uploaded files
Hi Schorms,
when you attach local files to a Planner task, they are stored in the root directory of the associated SharePoint.
Unfortunately, there's currently no option to set a default save location to a specific subfolder. If you organize the attachments into a subfolder, the link to the attachment in the Planner task won't work.
However, there's a workaround you might consider. Upload the files to a folder in the document library first, then select them using "Add attachment > SharePoint" in the Planner task.
This way, the files will be organized in the specified folder, and the links in the Planner tasks will stay functional.
You can also send a feedback directly to Microsoft from Planner about this issue:
- Click the Settings icon
- Under "Planner" click "Send Planner feedback".
- This opens "Send Feedback to Microsoft"
- Click on "I have a suggestion"
