Document Storage

Every Sodium account includes document storage. Upload files, attach them to clients, and manage them through document management — all without connecting anything. It works from day one, and for many practices it's all you need.

Prefer your files to live somewhere you control? Connect your own Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox, or Box account, and every document that flows through Sodium is stored there instead.

Using an external provider is like plugging your own USB drive into our computer. Your files sit in your storage account, under your access policies and backup arrangements — and if you ever want to go, you just unplug it and walk away with everything. No export requests, no waiting, no lock-in.

It also means you keep everything your storage platform already does well — sharing folders with colleagues, desktop sync, search, version history — alongside everything Sodium adds on top.

When you connect an external provider, Sodium creates a dedicated folder for each client automatically. Documents uploaded through Sodium are filed into the right place, so your team doesn't need to navigate folder hierarchies manually.

Or, if you're already storing client files and have a folder structure that works, keep it. Turn off automatic folder creation and pick the folder each client's documents should live in yourself — Sodium fits around how you already work, not the other way round.

Connecting a folder to Sodium doesn't make its contents visible to your client. You choose exactly which files appear in the client portal — everything else stays private to your team.

And for peace of mind, a built-in portal view shows you a client's documents exactly as they see them, so there's never any doubt about what's been shared.

Documents don't just come from uploads. Files your clients send in through document requests and documents you generate from templates are saved into the same storage automatically, in the right client's folder — whether that's Sodium's built-in storage or your own provider.

Regardless of where files are stored, all of Sodium's document management features work the same: document requests, approvals, categories, pinning, and audit trails all behave identically whether you're using built-in storage or your own provider.
