File attachments seem basic until you need them. Upload a design mockup, attach a contract, drop in a screenshot — suddenly your task management gets real. But here's the thing: most productivity apps treat file storage like an expensive add-on.
TaskLoco Premium includes 10GB of file storage with every subscription. No limits on file types, no artificial restrictions on what you can attach. Meanwhile, Asana makes you pay $13.49 per person monthly just to attach files larger than 15MB, and even then you're capped at 100MB per file with no guaranteed storage space.
TaskLoco Premium is regularly $9.99/month per person. Right now, charter members can lock in 50% off the regular price — forever. That means $4.99/month per person today. And if our price ever goes up, you still pay half. Always.

Every Premium subscription includes unlimited notes, 10GB file storage, reminders, calendar, and team sharing. Each team member requires a separate subscription. 7-day free trial — no charge until day 8. Cancel anytime.

File Storage That Actually Works
TaskLoco gives you 10GB of file storage with every Premium subscription. That's enough for thousands of documents, hundreds of images, or dozens of video files. No artificial file size limits, no restrictions on file types — just pure storage that works.
Asana's approach feels backward. Their free tier caps attachments at 15MB total. Want bigger files? You'll pay $13.49 per person monthly for Premium, which bumps you up to 100MB per file. But here's the catch: Asana doesn't guarantee any specific amount of storage space. You're paying for the privilege of uploading larger files, not for actual storage capacity.
Need more than 10GB? TaskLoco offers stackable storage add-ons: 10GB, 50GB, 200GB, and 1TB tiers. You can stack up to 100 add-ons for massive capacity. Asana? You're stuck with whatever undefined storage they feel like giving you.
Security and Access Control
File security matters when you're attaching contracts, designs, or sensitive documents to tasks. TaskLoco generates secure, time-limited links for every file attachment. Share a link and it expires automatically — no permanent exposure of your files across the internet.
Asana stores your files on their servers with standard encryption, but file sharing happens through their platform permissions. Once someone has access to your Asana project, they can download any attached file. There's no granular control over individual file access or expiration.
TaskLoco's approach means you can safely attach sensitive files to tasks without worrying about long-term exposure. The secure links expire, but your files stay safely stored in your account until you decide to remove them.
Real-World File Management
File attachments only work if they're easy to use. TaskLoco lets you drag and drop files directly onto any note, from any device. The files appear instantly with thumbnail previews for images and quick-view options for documents.
Asana requires you to navigate to specific tasks, then use their attachment interface. Files appear as links in task comments, making them harder to find later. Want to see all files attached to a project? Good luck — there's no unified file view.
TaskLoco's approach treats files as first-class citizens. Every attached file gets indexed for search, appears in your note preview, and syncs instantly across all devices. You're not hunting through comment threads to find that PDF you uploaded last week.
Pricing Reality Check
Here's where the math gets interesting. TaskLoco Premium costs $9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50) and includes 10GB file storage, unlimited notes, reminders, calendar, and team sharing. Every feature included, no hidden costs.
Asana Basic is free but caps you at 15MB total file attachments — essentially useless for any real work. Asana Premium costs $13.49 per person monthly, gives you 100MB file limits, but no guaranteed storage space. Want advanced features? Asana Business jumps to $30.49 per person monthly.
The cost difference compounds with teams. A 10-person team pays $134.90 monthly for Asana Premium vs. significantly less for TaskLoco Premium — and gets dedicated 100GB of file storage (10GB per person) in the process.
