Change the default location when attaching a computer file?

Is there a way to change what location opens when you want to upload a file from your computer?

Example: The folder that always opens when I attach a file is “Downloads,” and I would like to change it to a specific folder.

It’s two more clicks every time, but it would be helpful to have it open to the folder where all my files are located.

I don’t think this has anything to do with Asana itself, it is more an OS (PC, Mac…) thing… @Phil_Seeman what do you think?

I’m fairly certain this is a browser setting, no?

Yes, I think it would be environment-dependent: the browser for the Asana web app, the OS (Windows or Mac OS) for the Asana desktop version.

Okay cool! Does anyone know how I could update that on a Mac OS?

It’s not anything you’d be able to affect as a user; it’s controlled by the behavior of the OS, and the app. I should have clarified in my last post: while it’s a function of the OS call to show the file dialog, apps do have the ability to set the starting folder, meaning that Asana could theoretically remember the last folder used, which it apparently doesn’t.


So you might want to make a post in the English Forum > Product Feedback forum section asking for the Asana Mac OS app to remember the last folder used.
