You can upload documents into the application you are writing in Five to be available as downloads. Five will automatically display these files as links in Five’s editors such as email templates etc, or they can be manually accessed via the following URL format:

http://yourapp.com.au/document/<documentId>

Five supports all standard file formats for upload. We have a preset list of the most common types of files, however, if your document is a different type you can select 'Other'.

If your application is running in multi-user mode, the document can only be downloaded if a user is logged in, otherwise they will receive an access denied message.

There are three locations that you can choose to store your document.

Location	Description
External	The document is located at an external website and is accessed via a document URL.
Database	The document is uploaded into the application's database.
File System	The document is uploaded into the application's filesystem.
