File formats and limits

In 4planning you can upload and share various kinds of files within your organisation. This article explains which file formats are supported and how storage and limits work.

Supported file formats

In 4planning you can upload almost any type of file. That makes it easy to manage documents, photos, forms and other files centrally.

• Photo and image files.
• PDF files.
• Office files such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
• Other file types.

Viewing and downloading files

Not all files are displayed the same way.

• Photo and PDF files can be viewed or read directly within 4planning (depending on your app version).
• Other files can only be downloaded.
• Files are not executed within the app's documents page.

This adds security and prevents harmful files from being opened.

Upload limits and storage

The available storage depends on your organisation's settings and package.

• You can see the available storage in the Documents tab.
• Keep the storage limit in mind when uploading files.

Tips for effective use

• Compress large files where possible.
• Delete old or duplicate files.
• Use clear file names.

Good to know

• All files stay within the organisation.
• Access is determined by groups and rights.
• Files are not executed automatically within the application.
