New Xero feature – Attach files to your financial data in Xero7.11.2013

Xero has recently released a new feature called Files which allows you to store documents in Xero.

No more storing files away in filing cabinets or folders on your computer where they aren’t readily available when you need them. With all your business data in Xero, it no longer makes sense to store your financial data and files separately. Files lets you attach multiple documents to almost anything in Xero and have them right at your fingertips, exactly where you expect to find them. Files can be associated with invoices, transactions, expense receipts, fixed assets, contacts, chart of accounts, bank accounts and even manual journals.

For example, you could attach contractual documentation associated with one of your clients, loan documents for a bank account, a picture of a fixed asset, or even attach a photo of a client.

Xero will allow you to store 1GB to begin with (that’s about 20,000 typical Word docs and enough to keep the average small business going for many years). And Xero will provide for increased storage in the future.
