Downloaded latest manager today and noticed that the “Attachment” feature is now implemented. Something I have been longing to see. Started to use it right away - so far only for Purchase Invoices. Works Great. Huge thanks! /AnBe

Not sure why the warning doesn’t show about the size being too large but can you confirm this particular attachment is over 5 MB?

Many thanks, but no thanks. The feature is great but why making it mandatory to upload files to Amazon. What’s wrong with iCloud or OneDrive or simply in-house.

@ Lubos Your arguments are clear, but what is wrong with local-storage. I think/assume that the majority of the desktop users prefer local storage. Is there any change that you create the possibility for local-storage?

Local-storage makes backup more complicated. There is a Backup button which will backup your accounting data in .manager format. I don’t want this file to include all attachments because backups are compact (typically less than 1 MB). If you have attachments in it, the file could easily be 100 MB o…

For me, this Amazon solution sounds just great… And reading about this “mirroring” solution makes it even better. Do I understand this correctly that I will always (and automatically) have a complete mirror on my local computer, or is it only those attachments that I have “opened” from Amazon tha…

@lubos I absolutely love this attachment feature. With it, I will have virtually everything I need at my fingertips and without needing to resort to manual files, be it paper based or in some separate file system on my Computer or Server. It is simply brilliant…! One small request: Could you p…

I would just like to add to other users that local storage is the way to go. All you need in the program is to set where the attachments folder is. This can be displayed in the help/about. Then all you need in the data file and the backup is a simple link. I would never keep my attachments anywhere …

Hi Lubos, I want to weigh-in on this as it’s a feature I’ve been looking forward to for a long time and unfortunately I’m a little disappointed with the current implementation. Whilst I understand your reasoning for wanting to keep things simple and wouldn’t for a moment suggest backing away from t…

@BGPS , this is what Quickbooks is doing. All attachments are in separate folder called Attach. There is no end of complaining from regular users how backup in Quickbooks is not really a backup because it doesn’t include everything. So in order to use Quickbooks in durable way, you have to learn abou…

Attachment - Big thanks!
