Overview
ShareVision comes with built-in online document storage as a default. ShareVision Storage includes management of documents for Clients, Services, Form Submission documents (submitted through forms using File Uploader), and Shared Images (for storing images used in the Insert/Edit Image control found in Rich Text Box form fields.)
The amount of storage included in your ShareVision subscription is based upon the level of subscription.
Simply 10 - 5 GB of storage
Simply 25 - 5 GB of storage
Overage fees apply if storage is exceeded.
In addition to the built-in online ShareVision document storage, you can link to a Google or Microsoft account for storing documents.
While it is not possible to switch the default storage to your Google or Microsoft account, linking to a Google or Microsoft account allows you to store other types of documents like meeting minutes or policies and procedures outside of the default ShareVision Storage.
By using this feature, documents will be available to your users on your site without increasing the size of your ShareVision Storage, and will help you to avoid overage fees.
Requirements/Dependencies

If adding a Google or Microsoft account, make a note of the email address and password before starting.

Documents
Client Documents
ShareVision automatically creates a folder for each client. Client documents are found in the Client Quick Start menu under the heading Documents. Client documents are stored in a unique folder for each client in the Client Documents folder of ShareVision Storage.
Adding Files to Folders
After you create folders in the back-end (which you have just learnt how to do), you can then add files to these folders and subfolders through the front-end. For example, let’s see how to add files to a Client Document Library.
From the Home Page, go to the Clients Portal
Choose a Client
Select Documents
Select the Upload File button, then choose a file from your local document library
Alternatively, you can drag a file or multiple files from your local document library to the “Drop Files Here” area of the Client Documents
Moving Files
You can easily move files between folders by dragging and dropping them in the Document Library. For example, see how we move this Client’s file from the main folder to a subfolder.
Service Documents
ShareVision automatically creates a folder for each service. Service documents are found in the Service Quick Start menu under the heading Documents. Service documents are stored in a unique folder for each service in the Service Documents folder of ShareVision Storage.
Form Submission
Form Submission documents are a feature of the File Uploader field, which can be added to a form. Documents that are uploaded through a form are stored in the Form Submission folder of ShareVision Storage.
Shared Images
Shared Images are a feature of the Insert/Edit Image control found in Rich Text Box form fields. Images stored in the Shared Images folder are shared throughout the app and accessible from any form that contains a Rich Text Box field. Shared Image documents are stored in a folder named SharedImages found in ShareVision Storage.
