Most task management apps treat file attachments like an afterthought. You get tiny storage limits, pay extra fees, or deal with clunky workarounds that dump everything into separate cloud folders.
TaskLoco takes a different approach: 10GB of file storage is built into every Premium subscription. No separate storage fees, no file size gymnastics, no hunting through different apps to find the document you attached to that task three weeks ago.
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.
Code CHARTER50 auto-applies at checkout. First 500 spots only — once they're gone, this offer is gone permanently. Act fast while spots last.
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.

How TaskLoco Handles File Attachments
TaskLoco treats files as first-class citizens in your task management workflow. Every note can have multiple file attachments — documents, images, PDFs, spreadsheets, whatever you need to get work done.
Files live directly inside your tasks, not in some separate storage system you have to remember to check. When you search TaskLoco, it searches inside your attached files too. That contract PDF you attached to your client project? It shows up when you search for the client's name.
The mobile apps handle attachments smartly. Take a photo with your iPhone camera and it attaches directly to the task. Need to grab a file from your phone's storage? One tap and it's attached. The sync happens automatically across all your devices.
File Storage That Actually Makes Sense
Here's where most task managers get file attachments wrong: they either give you laughably small storage limits or charge you separately for every gigabyte. Asana gives you 100MB total on their free plan. Todoist charges $4-6 per month just for file attachments. ClickUp limits free users to 100MB and charges extra beyond basic quotas.
TaskLoco includes 10GB with every Premium subscription. That's enough for thousands of documents, hundreds of high-resolution photos, or dozens of presentation files. And if you need more, storage add-ons are available in 10GB, 50GB, 200GB, and 1TB tiers that stack up to 100x your base storage.
The real advantage isn't just the storage amount — it's how the storage integrates with your workflow. Files aren't isolated in some separate cloud drive. They're part of your task management system, searchable and accessible exactly where you expect them.
Security and Access Control
File attachments in TaskLoco are secured with the same encryption and access controls as your tasks. When you share a note with team members, they get access to the attached files automatically. When you stop sharing, their access to those files stops too.
Files generate secure, temporary links for sharing outside your team. These links expire automatically and can be revoked instantly if needed. No permanent file URLs floating around the internet.
The system handles file versioning intelligently. Replace an attachment and the old version gets archived, not deleted. Team members always see the latest version, but you can roll back if needed.
Competing Solutions and Their Limitations
Most task managers bolt on file attachments as an afterthought. Trello gives you 10MB per file on free plans and charges $5 per user per month for larger attachments. Monday.com includes file storage but limits file sizes and charges extra for advanced document management features.
Project management platforms like Smartsheet and Wrike include file attachments but focus heavily on enterprise features that small teams don't need. Their pricing reflects that complexity — often starting at $25+ per user per month.
Simple note-taking apps like Notion and Obsidian handle files differently. Notion embeds files in pages but charges extra for significant storage. Obsidian stores files locally, which means they don't sync across devices unless you pay for their sync service.
