Documents
Centralized file storage with folder management and automatic source-based indexing. Every project file in one place — uploaded manually or auto-collected from inspections, punch lists, and work items.
Key Features
A document hub that organizes itself. Files from across the project flow in automatically — you just add the folders.
Folder Management
Create nested folders at any depth to organize your project files however you need. Rename, move, or delete folders from a right-click menu.
Source-Based Browsing
Files attached to WBS items, inspections, or punch items are automatically indexed and browsable by source. Find any document by where it came from.
Drag-and-Drop Upload
Drop files anywhere on the page to upload. Multiple files at once, any file type — images, PDFs, documents, videos, CAD drawings, and more.
Image Preview
Click any image to see a full-size preview in a modal. Non-image files show a color-coded icon by type — red for PDF, purple for video, blue for CAD.
How it works
Three steps from scattered files to organized project documentation.
Upload your files
Drag and drop files anywhere on the page, or use the upload button. Multiple files at once, any type. Files attached elsewhere in the project are automatically indexed here too.
Organize with folders
Create a folder structure that matches how your team works. Nest folders as deep as you need. Right-click to rename, move, or delete.
Find anything fast
Browse by folder or by source. The By Source view auto-organizes files from WBS items, punch lists, and inspections — no manual filing needed.
Why switch from shared drives?
Most teams start with Google Drive, Dropbox, or a network folder. Here's what breaks and what changes.
The old way
- Files scattered across email attachments, chat messages, and shared drives — nobody knows the latest version.
- Photos from inspections live in someone's camera roll. Good luck finding them three months later.
- Folder structure gets messy fast — every person organizes differently, nothing is consistent.
- No connection between documents and the work they relate to. Context is lost.
- Searching means opening multiple folders and hoping the filename is descriptive enough.
With CivilFlow
- One centralized location per project — every file uploaded or auto-collected in one place.
- Inspection photos, punch list evidence, and WBS attachments are automatically indexed by source.
- Shared folder structure that the whole team uses. Create as many levels as you need.
- Every file shows a source badge — instantly see if it came from a WBS item, inspection, or punch list.
- Browse by folder structure or by source. Find files by where they came from, not just their name.
Built for the field
The folder tree collapses into a slide-out drawer on phones. Upload, preview, and manage files on any device.
