Every project in Workly has a Files tab that collects all attachments from every task in the project. This gives you a single view of every file — images, documents, spreadsheets, and more — without opening individual tasks.
Access the Files tab
Click the Files icon in the project header toolbar to open the Files tab.
View modes
- List view — Files displayed in a table with name, type, uploader, task, and date
- Grid view — Files displayed as visual thumbnails for quick scanning
Switch between views using the toggle in the Files tab header.
File types
Workly shows appropriate icons for different file types:
- Images — Thumbnail previews for JPG, PNG, GIF, SVG, WebP
- PDFs — PDF icon with preview
- Documents — DOC, DOCX indicators
- Spreadsheets — XLS, XLSX, CSV indicators
- Other files — Generic file icon
Preview and download
Click any file to open the full-screen file viewer. From there, you can:
- Preview the file content
