Where Does To Do Store file attachments?

"There's no way that task attachments are stored locally."
Uhm... why? temp. cache?
What i can say is that Teresa_Cyrus is right, although the path is different on the client i tested this...
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Todos_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\AccountsRoot\[some alphanumeric folder]\Attachments\[some alphanumeric subfolder]\
There is exactly the file i just uplaoded - and no, i didn't download the file from that task at any time
RasenderRoli my point is/was that the files are stored in M365 after being uploaded to a task. I'm not disputing that you can find that cached file in your local storage - I'm disputing that this is where the To Do web app will pull the files from when opened on a different computer or mobile device.
For example, I uploaded a file to a task using the mobile app the other day. When I view that same file on a desktop browser, the address is https://outlook.office365.com/....
That suggests the file is stored in Exchange (not 100%) but there's seemingly no way to access the file outside of To Do.
