Hi Taskaders  🎉

We've worked hard to make Taskade work better for you! Here's what's new:

> **TL;DR:** October 2021 added direct uploads from Google Drive, Dropbox, Instagram, and Box plus custom recurring intervals — primitives that today power [agent knowledge sources](https://www.taskade.com/learn/agents/knowledge), [scheduled Automations](https://www.taskade.com/learn/automation/schedule), and [100+ integrations](https://www.taskade.com/integrations) feeding [Taskade Genesis](https://www.taskade.com/create) apps.

> **Then → Now:** 2021's cloud uploads from Drive, Dropbox, and Instagram evolved into today's [100+ integrations](https://www.taskade.com/integrations) plus [AI Agents that read files directly](https://www.taskade.com/agents) and [Automations](https://www.taskade.com/automate) that move data between every tool you use.

## ******************⚡️ Cloud Upload****************** 

You can now [share files](https://www.taskade.com/learn/projects/template-gallery) directly from **Google Drive**, **Dropbox**, **Instagram**, and **Box** in project tasks, chats, and comments with our new cloud integration!

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I upload files from Google Drive and Dropbox to Taskade?

Yes. Taskade integrates with Google Drive, Dropbox, Instagram, and Box for direct file uploads. Attach cloud files to project tasks, chat messages, or comments without downloading them first — the integration pulls files directly from your connected cloud storage account.

### How do custom repeating tasks work in Taskade?

Set custom repeat intervals for any task by Day, Week, Month, or Year. When a recurring task is completed, Taskade automatically creates the next occurrence based on your configured interval. You can also set an end date or repeat count to limit how many times the task recurs.

### Can I add banners to Taskade projects?

Yes. Taskade projects support customizable banners at the top of the editor. Open Project Settings to select a banner image or choose none for a minimal, distraction-free layout. Banners add visual identity to projects and help distinguish different workspaces at a glance.

### Does the Taskade desktop app remember window position?

Yes. The Taskade desktop app remembers your window size and position between restarts. It also automatically re-opens your previously active tabs, so you can pick up exactly where you left off without manually navigating back to your projects.
