- Google is testing the ability to add documents via Google Drive to tasks saved in Calendar.
- It allows adding multiple files in various formats to a task’s description.
- In its current form, the functionality is limited to Google Calendar but is not available through the native Tasks app or the web interface.
Tasks is one of Google’s most straightforward and user-friendly apps. But its lack of features, masquerading as simplicity, is also upsetting for users who demand more from to-do apps. However, as Google aims to consolidate reminders from various Google apps into Tasks, it is introducing some useful functionality to justify its existence, starting with support for Google Drive attachments.
We recently spotted Google Tasks’ upcoming support for attaching files stored in Drive. Although the long–requested feature is not directly available with the dedicated Tasks app, we were able to toggle the option to add attachments through Google Calendar, which also integrates Tasks. This addition might make Google Tasks appear useful as a standalone app, as its current functionality is limited to checking off completed items.
