Limitations of managing files and folders in HubSpot

HubSpot supports basic file storage and sharing, but has specific gaps at scale.

Uploading, moving, renaming, or deleting files often requires switching between HubSpot and an external storage platform.

HubSpot doesn't natively connect to services like Google Drive or Dropbox, so syncing files between platforms requires manual work.

Without a defined folder structure and naming convention, HubSpot's File Manager can become disorganized and hard to search.

HubSpot restricts folder access by team, but doesn't support permissions at the individual file level.

HubSpot has no built-in automation for creating folders or tracking when a file is viewed or downloaded.

Marketing

Service

Automate folder and file operations tied to service records, and securely collect documents from customers with file requests that transfer straight to your connected cloud storage.
