Ability to Link Global Files & Folders to Specific Clients

We need the ability to link files and folders created under the Global/Common Files section to specific clients or companies without re-uploading or recreating them.


Currently, if files or folders are mistakenly uploaded under the main/common Files tab instead of under a specific client, they remain isolated there. When navigating to the intended client/company profile, the Files section appears empty.

There is no option to:

  • Reassign the files

  • Link them to a client

  • Move them to the appropriate company folder

This results in duplicated work and inefficiency.

Use Case Scenario
I uploaded multiple files and folders under the main Files tab on the left navigation panel. Later, when I accessed the client/company profile for whom these files were intended, their Files section was empty.

I then realized the files were created under the Common/Agency-level tab. Instead of recreating and re-uploading everything under the correct client, there should be an option to simply link or associate the existing files and folders to the relevant client/company.

Proposed Solution
Add one or more of the following capabilities:

  1. “Link to Client/Company” option on files and folders

  2. Bulk selection and assignment to a specific client

  3. Move/Relocate functionality between Global and Client-level directories

  4. Multi-client linking, where a file can be associated with more than one client if needed

Benefits

  • Prevents duplication of work

  • Saves time and storage

  • Reduces human error impact

  • Improves document organization and flexibility

  • Supports real agency workflows where files may initially be created centrally
