Can I bulk create Connected Portals? 

At this stage, it isn't possible to bulk create connected portals, but we may introduce this sometime in the future.

Why can't my client access a connected folder? 

Please check that you haven't deleted or moved the folder in SuiteFiles. You may also want to check that the portal hasn't expired. If they are seeing error messages, please contact our support team with a screenshot.

We also recommend adding yourself to the SuiteFiles Connected Folder so you always have access to what your clients can see.

Why did my client not receive an invitation? 

If your connect user has not received an invitation, you will need to:

  • Check you have sent the invite to the correct email address
  • Ask the connect user to check their spam/junk folder

If neither of these options work, please contact our support team with the emails of the client folder that was shared and the email address of the user. 

What is the maximum file size that can be uploaded to Connect?

SuiteFiles Connect users can upload a combined total of 500 MB at a time.
