## Description

# User Problem

## User

*   Project member
    

## Problem

*   When users upload files to a work package they are confronted with multiple possibilities on where to upload the file
    
*   It is not clear to the user which section on the **Files** tab should be used
    
    *   The **Attachments** section
        
    *   Or a external storage e.g. SharePoint
        

## Pain

*   The user needs to be educated into which section to upload a file and needs to remember correctly while uploading a file
    
*   This is error prone and files end up in the attachments section and not in the external storage
    

## Solution

*   Make it possible for admins to hide the attachment section in the **Files** tab
    
*   On project level
    
    *   Restructure main menu from
        
        *   "Project settings" -> "File storages"
            
        *   to "Project settings" -> "Files"
            
    *   There are two tabs in this page 
        
        *   "External file storages"
            
        *   "Attachments"
            
    *   Add option "**Hide attachments**" in "Attachments" tabs
        
*   On application level
    
    *   Restructure main menu from
        
        *   "File storages" to "Files" -> "External file storages"
            
        *   "Attachments" to "Files" -> "Attachments"
            
    *   Add option "**Hide attachments by default**" in "Administration" -> "Attachments" -> "General"-tab
        
        *   Will effect new projects only
