# The Attachments Tab

The Attachments tab allows the project owner to add external (i.e. non-Partek Flow) files to a project (for instance, spreadsheets, word documents, manuscripts). To attach a file, go to the **Attachments** tab (Figure 1). **Choose File** button invokes the file browser showing the directory structure of the local computer. Select the file that you want to attach and then click on the **Upload attachment** button. For security reasons, Partek Flow will not allow you to add an executable file.

All added files will be listed in the table under the Attachments tab (Figure 2). The tab will also display file sizes, the user name of the person who uploaded the file and the time it was uploaded. Note that uploaded files will count towards the total size of the project, and thus, if available, to the disk quota of the project owner.

To remove a file, click the ![Red x icon](/files/AwpurpGwRw4U9gEMUdna) icon. To download the attachment, click the ![Red download icon](/files/oC3DxVY0zdZWQ8knInKs) icon.
