Attach files to board description (or store them in another, dedicated spot pertaining to the board AS A WHOLE)

I would love if there was a way to add files to the board description. Here’s an example for a case in which this would be super helpful: We have created a board for managing the process of hiring a new PR manager. Each item in the board represents one of the applicants. In a FILE column, we are storing a given applicant’s documents (such as CV etc.). But: There is no proper place to store files that pertain to ALL applicants. I am thinking of a PDF of the original advertisement of the position. Or a PDF of our organisation’s regulation concerning hiring policies. I could, of course, create another file column for that and then simply have the same “general” files appear for all items, but this seems a little awkward and tedious.

So, if there was a way to add files to the board description, that would solve my problem. Alternatively, of course, there could be a dedicated spot somewhere in the top area of the board, to the right of the STAR for example, that would work as a drop zone for these kinds of files.

Yes, every space needs the ability to hold it’s own files pertaining to that space. It is a simple but necessary feature.

Elijah, did you try native monday File Gallery? It gathers files added to the board in one place. Will it meet your needs?

Anna, unfortunately that method requires uploading things to each individual item if we want to use it for that item. This requires lots of manual effort. It would be more efficient and sensible to have a board-wide accessible file storage.

Yeah, I ran into the same issue. Uploading files item by item is super tedious. A board-wide file storage would make this way easier and save a lot of time.

You can try Files Gallery Pro. It provides a dedicated space(board view) where you can upload board-wide files.
