You can sync files stored in third party apps such as Dropbox, Box.com and Evernote with your Dooster tasks,
\ndiscussions and projects.<\/p>\n

(This applies to shared files from any online file storage service such as Google Drive, Amazon S3 and so on, assuming they provide a public link to the file – it would be very unusual if they don’t).<\/em><\/p>\n

The advantage<\/strong> is you can combine Dooster’s powerful task and project functions with these “external files”. For example you can give them start and due dates, priorities, assign them and more…<\/p>\n

\n

To sync an “external file” to a task<\/strong> all you need to do is click on the “Attach a File or Link” option in your task and choose the “Paste a Link” tab. (See Image 1 below)<\/em><\/p>\n

You can set the permissions for the link – as you would a
\nstandard Dooster file – and paste the URL to your external document in the URL field. (See Image 2 below)<\/em><\/p>\n

You can optionally provide a name for the file in the field
\nabove if you want to give it something more memorable. Then just
\nclick Save.<\/p>\n

The link will appear in the task as a normal attachment, but when
\nclicked will open up the shared file in a new window.<\/p>\n

\n

You can also add shared files from Dropbox, Evernote, Google Drive, Amazon S3 etc to Dooster into your Global library \/ Project files screens.<\/p>\n

Do this in the same way you would a normal file. Simply use the “From a Link”<\/em> form which appears next to the “From a File”<\/em> form at the top of the library screen.<\/p>\n
