The ability to disable file attachments is an Enterprise feature.
Overview
The disabling file attachments feature allows Admins to ensure that Asana implementations across their organization meet all security and consistency requirements related to blocking any file attachments that are restricted as per their company’s security policies and preferred file integrations.
This feature gives better controls at a domain level, in order to ensure strict upload policies in accordance with their organizational requirements.
IT Admins will also have a quick way to enable or disable one or more or all of “Computer”, “Dropbox”, “Google Drive”, “Box” and “Onedrive / Sharepoint” upload sources as per their company’s IT security policies and have it applied across all Asana product surface areas where attachments can be added.
