Hey there,

We have built the reformer platform on top of Noloco and seems to work great. However, do you have a great recomendation for sharing documents with clients using Noloco? Would S3 be great? Dropbox? What would you recommend and some guidance would be great!

TY in advance!

Congrats on getting your platform built @reformer

How are the documents being shared, as links in an email or something similar?  
In that case having public links in Dropbox or Google Drive would work great.

Would it make sense to upload your documents as attachments to records in Noloco?

yeah so it is to share documents between the coach and the client. Client can upload and coach as well!

got it - so would something like [file/upload](https://guides.noloco.io/data/collections/field-types#file-upload) work for you then?

It would, but I am using Airtable and need the files on the company level not on the User Level.

Do you mean that all the coaches in any given company need to be able to see the coach:client docs?

Well we have a “company” that has many “users” and a “user” has one company, but they all need to see the documents belonging to that company

seems that Airtable has attachment as a field, where you can upload. How do I integrate that with Noloco? Is there a way to make a “drop files” field ?

Not sure if this is what you needed or I have misunderstood but in the table settings \> add new field \> choose File/Upload as the field type and the the option of allowing single or multiple files to be uploaded.

Add this field to your form show on the front end.

Hey @garyGHL – This seems to work. Just in our case we need to share a lot of documents with our clients and each of them is slightly different. So we need ot have folders and all that. Any recommendations for a file sharing we can embed? Appreciate it!

If it’s lots of changing documents, I would go for something like Google Drive.

Works well with zapier. Use Zapier to create the client folder when the client signs up (and populate with both structure and files from a template folder). Then push the URL for the folder into noloco, so there’s a link to the root structure in noloco - the client can click to access their files?
