Smarter Attachment Management for Asana
Attachment Manager for Asana is a lightweight, powerful extension designed to improve how teams manage and view attachments across Asana projects.
Asana is a leading work management platform, but as projects grow in complexity, attachments often become fragmented:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Files buried in subtasks |
Duplicate uploads |
Time wasted searching |
Reduced visibility during reviews |
Friction in approvals and reporting |
Attachment Manager solves this problem by giving you a single, consolidated view of attachments across tasks and subtasks - improving visibility, saving time, and reducing workflow friction.
And now, it is completely free!
No paid plans. No locked features. No upgrade prompts.
Why We Built Attachment Manager
At BDQ, we specialise in optimising work management platforms like Asana and Atlassian products. Over time, we identified a recurring customer pain point:
Teams were losing time and clarity due to fragmented attachment visibility.
So we built a solution - entirely in-house. Attachment Manager reflects something fundamental about how we work:
If your work management product doesn’t provide the functionality you need...
...BDQ builds it!
We develop bespoke applications, integrations, and workflow enhancements tailored to customer requirements. Attachment Manager is one example of that capability in action.
Key Features:

Unified Parent &
Subtask Attachment View
Toggle to include subtask attachments alongside the parent task.
No more missing files hidden within nested subtasks.

- Better reporting clarity
Searchable Project &
Task Navigation

No need to open multiple tabs or manually browse through Asana.
Benefits:
- Reduced context switching
- Faster workflows
- Improved user productivity
Image Previews &
File Icons
Visual thumbnails for images and clear icons for:
- PDFs
- Word documents
- Spreadsheets
- Presentations
- Other common file types

Preferences Saved
Between Sessions
Configure once. It remembers your settings.
Benefits:
- Reduced repetitive setup
- Improved workflow continuity
The Productivity Impact
Even small inefficiencies scale quickly.
Example:
If a 20-person team spends just 5 minutes per day searching for attachments:
5 minutes × 20 users × 230 working days
= 23,000 minutes annually
= 383+ hours per year
That’s nearly 10 working weeks lost to file searching!
Improving attachment visibility reduces wasted time and increases operational efficiency - particularly in marketing, HR, IT, operations, and professional services environments.
