Photos, signed estimates, spec sheets, permits — files pile up fast on a job. FieldPulse keeps each one on the record it belongs to and lets you decide what the customer receives and what stays with the office. ## Overview You share a file with a customer from three places in FieldPulse: the file itself, a customer communication, or the preview of an estimate or invoice. A file uploaded to a record stays internal until you share it, and each file carries visibility toggles that decide which roles on your team can open it. You can also move files from a customer record to a linked [job record](https://www.fieldpulse.com/features/job-management), and group files into folders in the mobile app. ## Before you begin * Files live on the **Files** tab of the record they belong to. On web, add one with **Upload File** or **Import From File Library**. In the FieldPulse mobile app, use **Attach File**, **Upload Photo**, or **Take Photo**. * Most of the sharing paths below start from a file already stored in FieldPulse. Sending a customer communication or emailing an estimate or invoice can also upload a file straight from your device at send time. ## On web ### Share a file directly 1. Select the file on the record to open it. 2. Select **Email To Customer** to send the file to the customer, or **Download** to save it to your device.

Choose **Duplicate & Transfer Files** or **Move Files Only**. | **Option** | **What it does** | **What you see on the customer record afterward** | | ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Duplicate & Transfer Files** | Duplicates the files from the primary record and transfers them to the selected record without creating linked duplicates. | Duplicates of the files appear on the customer **Files** tab, because FieldPulse displays all files associated with related jobs there. | | **Move Files Only** | Removes the files from the primary record and moves them to the selected record without duplication. | The files still appear on the customer record, because FieldPulse displays all files uploaded to related jobs on the customer **Files** tab. | FieldPulse recommends **Move Files Only**, since any file on a job record already appears on the linked customer's record. ## On mobile ### Create a file folder 1. On any record, open the **Files** tab and tap **Create Folder**. Files tab on a job in the FieldPulse mobile app with the Files tab and the Create Folder button highlighted 2. Enter a name for the folder in the **Name** field. A name is required before you can save. Create Folder screen on mobile with the required Name field highlighted above the Type field 3.

Customers only see files you explicitly share. Files uploaded to a record stay internal by default. ## Related articles * [How to Use Comments](/jobs/jobs-tasks/comments) * [How to Create Dynamic Job Reports](/jobs/jobs-tasks/dynamic-job-reports) * [How to Attach Photos & Files to Estimates & Invoices](/estimates-invoices/creating/attaching-photos-files) * [How to View Photos and Files on Form PDFs](/jobs/custom-forms/viewing-photos-files) * [How to Send Communications to Customers](/customers/communications/sending) * [User Roles and Permissions Details](/settings/users-teams/user-roles) Your files are working when the customer receives exactly the documents you meant to send, the files you kept internal stay off their email, and every file sits on the record where your team expects to find it. ## Related topics - [How to Attach Photos & Files to Estimates & Invoices](/estimates-invoices/creating/attaching-photos-files.md) - [How to Complete a Job in the Field](/jobs/jobs-tasks/completing-a-job.md) - [How to Use Comments](/jobs/jobs-tasks/comments.md) - [How to Create Dynamic Job Reports](/jobs/jobs-tasks/dynamic-job-reports.md)
