Feature area
Documents inside the case, under control
In almost every process documents travel: contracts, orders, forms, images. In FlowSharp the document lives in the case, not in a parallel folder. Document fields accept attachments from the start form, the Library gathers organization materials callable in templates, and sharing uses expiring signed links. All with configurable retention, trash and quota.

Three problems this area solves
Attachments scattered across email and folders
The case is in one place, documents in another, and versions get lost.
Sharing without expiry
A link sent once stays valid forever and ends up where it should not.
Deleting without knowing what
Without deletion levels and a grace period, a mistake is irreversible.
The features
Document field in forms
Single or multiple attachments, allowed types and size from 5 to 100 MB, from the start form.
Show detailsHide details
The document lives in the case. Versions are kept or replaced, depending on how you configure the field.
Technical details
- Up to 200 attachments per field.
- Upload from the start form, with byte verification.
- Built-in preview of PDF, images, audio and video.
Organization Document Library
Materials callable in templates through a stable slug, with folders and permissions.
Show detailsHide details
Versions are always kept. Read and manage permissions go to users or roles and apply to agents and MCP too.
Technical details
- Nested folders up to 8 levels.
Text extraction for AI
Extraction from the text of PDF, DOCX, TXT, Markdown, CSV, JSON and HTML: never implicit.
Show detailsHide details
Extraction starts only when you request it. The resulting text can be corrected by hand before it reaches the AI.
Technical details
- With Data Shield active the text becomes a placeholder.
Trash, grace period and three deletion levels
Remove the reference, delete logically with a 30-day grace period, or delete permanently.
Show detailsHide details
The grace period is configurable. Permanent deletion happens with a verified purge; restore and purge are Admin-only and tracked.
Quota, dedicated storage and diagnostics
Quota per organization with a warning at 80% and new uploads blocked at 100%.
Show detailsHide details
At 100% consultation always remains possible. Space is dedicated per organization and files always pass through the FlowSharp domain, without exposing the concrete S3-compatible storage provider.
Technical details
- Nightly reconciliation.
- Organization deletion with persistent proof that erasure took place.
Deep dive
From upload to verified deletion
The Document field is configured for single or multiple attachments, allowed types and size from 5 to 100 MB, up to 200 attachments per field. Upload is possible from the start form, with byte verification, and the built-in preview covers PDF, images, audio and video. Versions are kept or replaced. The organization Library has nested folders up to 8 levels, always-kept versions and a stable slug to call materials in templates.
For AI, text extraction of PDF, DOCX, TXT, Markdown, CSV, JSON and HTML starts only on request, and the resulting text can be corrected by hand before use. With Data Shield active it becomes a placeholder. Sharing uses signed links of 1 hour, 24 hours or 7 days, with creation audited and the URL never reaching the logs.
Deletion has three levels: remove the reference, delete logically with a 30-day grace period or delete permanently with a verified purge. Restore and purge are Admin-only and tracked. The per-organization quota warns at 80% and blocks new uploads at 100%, always leaving consultation possible. Storage is dedicated, S3-compatible and vendor-neutral, with nightly reconciliation.
In an onboarding process, the client uploads a company record, a signed contract and an ID document already from the start form. The document stays tied to the case, every replaced version is kept if the field allows it, and whoever works the task opens the preview without downloading anything. When a file must go to a supplier, a signed link is generated that expires by itself.
For organizations with retention constraints, the three deletion levels and legal hold, available in Enterprise, avoid both keeping too much and deleting what is needed in a dispute. The Admin sees quota, reconciliation and storage diagnostics, so problems surface before blocking someone during an upload.
Permissions follow the same principle as the rest of the platform: the Library grants read and manage rights to users or roles, and those rules apply to agents and MCP as well. A document a user cannot read does not appear in search results, is not offered as context and cannot be called in a template. Confidentiality does not depend on the goodwill of whoever writes the prompt.

Frequently asked questions
How many documents can I attach?
Up to 200 per field, from 5 to 100 MB each depending on configuration.
Does AI always read my documents?
No. Text reaches the AI only if the document is marked agent context, otherwise the model receives an explicit document unavailable.
What happens when the quota is full?
New uploads are blocked, consultation always remains possible.
Can a deleted document be recovered?
During the grace period yes, by the Admin. After purge no.
Do files pass through your domain?
Yes, always through the FlowSharp domain, without exposing the concrete storage provider.
