Create a New Task
To create a task, go to either Browse Tasks or My Task and click on the yellow button that says “Create Task.”
2. When creating a task:

In the example below, the task name is “Swan Team 5*32GB verified Task.” Swan Team alerts storage providers that this task is an official deal that is coming from Swan and 5*32G indicates the amount of storage needed for this task.
