Client Document Uploads
Let clients upload documents to your portal on Pro — you control which folders accept uploads.
Last reviewed 14 August 2026
Client Document Uploads
On Pro, clients can upload documents directly to your Client Portal — giving your team a structured way to receive files without chasing email attachments.
How client uploads work
- You configure which folders accept client uploads
- Clients open their portal and navigate to an upload-enabled folder
- They select and upload their file
- The document becomes available in your Portal Genie account for your team to review
You stay in control of where uploads are permitted and which clients can submit files.
Typical use cases
Client uploads are useful when you need clients to provide:
- Signed documents and agreements
- Tax records and supporting schedules
- Identity or compliance documentation
- Project files and deliverables for review
Rather than managing attachments across email threads, files arrive in the correct client folder within your portal.
Folder permissions
Not every folder needs to accept uploads. Enable upload permissions only on folders where client submissions make sense — keeping the portal organised and purposeful.
See Organising Client Documents with Folders.
Available on Pro
Client document uploads are included on the Pro plan. Core includes document sharing from your business to clients; Pro adds the ability for clients to upload documents back to you.
