# Adding a File to your Task

There are three different ways to add Files to your Task.

Select **Add File** from the **… button** on the right hand side of the Daylite app.

Now you can select how you want to attach a File to your Task.

### **A Copy of a File**

This adds a copy of the file to Daylite and the file is then available to all users to view in their Daylite. This type of file attachment its most suited for documents that do not need to be edited further, such as PDFs.

### **A Reference to a File**

This is a link to the path of a local file that is available on the Mac in Finder. Note: Files added in this way will NOT be available to other Daylite users on other computers.

### **A Reference to a File on the Internet**

This is essentially a URL link to a web page or perhaps a shared file that is available on file storage services such as DropBox, SharePoint etc. This would be a good method to use for a file that needs update contributions from multiple people. A spreadsheet would be a excellent example of this type of file.
