Locations & files
Files & attachments
Throughout ShootHive you can attach files — moodboards, references, deliverables, documents — to a project, a shoot, or a location. There's no single "files" page: files belong to the thing they're about, and each keeps its own set.
Uploading and previewing
Adding files is drag-and-drop, or click to browse. Upload several at once, and give each an optional label so it's easy to recognize later.
Images show inline thumbnails, so a set reads at a glance. Open any file to preview it — images and PDFs render in place; other types offer a download or open in a new tab.
Trash and restore
Removing a file moves it to a trash rather than deleting it. From there you can restore it or remove it for good — and purging from trash is permanent, so it's a deliberate step.
Your storage, not ours
ShootHive doesn't host your originals. Your files live in your own connected storage — Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive — and ShootHive indexes them so they're reachable from the right shoot or project.
Because the originals stay in your storage, you're never locked in.
Key terms

Common questions
Where are my files stored?
In your own connected storage — Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive. ShootHive links to them; the originals never leave your cloud.
Can I get a deleted file back?
Yes, while it's in trash. Removing a file moves it to trash, where you can restore it. Purging from trash is permanent.
Is there one place for all files?
No. Files belong to the project, shoot, or location they're about, so you find them on that record — each keeps its own set.
