Google Tasks is preparing to receive support for drivers from Drive

Google Tasks has always been one of the most essential and minimalist applications of the Google ecosystem, so much so that it is almost too simple for some of the needs of those who are used to managing activities and projects with more advanced tools. However, the Mountain View company seems ready to fill at least in part this gap, a recent analysis of the 2025.36.0-804188751 version of the app has in fact revealed the first tests for the integration of the attached by Google Drive directly in the activities.

Google Tasks may soon receive a highly anticipated novelty

As many users will remember, to date, Google Tasks has limited itself to allowing the creation of activities, sub-activities and reminders to be emerged once completed, without offering particular additional tools to enrich the items inserted; Now, however, thanks to the new discovery function, It will be possible to associate files and documents archived in drives with your activitiesjust as it has already happened for some time in the events of Google Calendar.

At the moment, the functionality is not available directly in the native app of Tasks, nor in the web interface, the test has been identified only through the integration of Google Calendar, which in turn uses Tasks as a system of management management system; During the modification of an activity, the voice appeared Add Annex Google Drivewhich opens a file selector identical to the one used in the calendar events. From there you can choose one or more documents and attach them to the activity, with the possibility of adding others even later.

Despite the obvious potential, The function still appears in an embryonic statethe attached files are shown during the modification but, once the activity is saved, their names are not visible, a sign that the interface has not been completed; In addition, the option appears only when it changes an existing activity, while it is not available during the creation of a new one.

To this is added another limitation, for now the possibility of attaching files seems to be confined to Calendar’s Android app, without any trace neither on the web nor on the standalone app of Tasks.

This novelty, if confirmed and made available to the general public, would represent an important step in the transformation of Google Tasks from a simple list of things to be done to a more complete and versatile productivity tool, able to integrate with the rest of the services of the Google ecosystem; Not surprisingly, in recent months the company has already announced the will to consolidate the various reminder systems scattered in its apps right under Tasks umbrella.

Users will therefore have to wait a little longer, but support for attachments is a functionality that could really give new life to an app that has so far always lived in the shade of the most popular solutions; It remains to be understood when and how Google will decide to extend it to Tuti users, perhaps with an announcement in the coming weeks.
