While working on a Task in a project, it is very common that either input raw files or output delivering files are needed to work with the Task. It is a must for us to prepare a central storage where we can store the project files while satisfying the access rights concern. Meanwhile, after uploading the project files to that central storage, to reduce the time cost of searching, we need to attach (i.e. link up) the project files to a particular Task# in Teamwork.com.
Example of attaching File in Task via linking Google Drive
Problem Pattern its Solves
Although we can always choose to attach a files by simply clicking on “+ Add Files” inside the Teawork.com Task interface, it is strongly not recommended to do so due to the following reasons:
Limited storage capacity
Teamwork.com’s paid plan only allows for a 5GB storage capacity, which is far less than the 2,000GB storage in our company’s Google Drive.
Limited access for application outside Teamwork.com
Anyone who doesn’t have access to a particular project in Teamwork.com cannot access the stored files.
Lack of going conern
One day, if we no longer use Teamwork.com, all the files will no longer be accessible.
