Contacts - Show attachments for transactions in the contact overview
Under the Contact, where Xero shows the current account balance and further down the screen we can see all invoices etc for that contact. When I scroll down the list of invoices I'd love to be able to see a little icon that tells me how many files I have uploaded to each invoice. The only way to tell currently is if I click into each invoice and then I can see the number of files attached per the little file icon at the top.
32 votesWe're grateful for your engagement and letting us know the changes that matter to you.
While we don't have immediate plans for adding a file icon indicator to the Contact Activity list we're tracking the interest from our community here and will share if there are any updates planned. Thanks

Files - Allow file to be attached to multiple transactions
The inability to attach credit notes from a batch is becoming increasingly problematic. To clarify: multiple credit notes sent from suppliers under 1 PDF - there isn't the capability to transfer these into a separate folder and then attach each PDF multiple times when creating a credit note from a supplier. As soon as it is attached once it disappears! I have had multiple occasions where there are numerous credits in one PDF and am having to write all but one down in longhand so I can then create the Credits. There is not the function to attach these to…

Xero Files: Simple email address for email to files
There should be a way we can change the email address that the files inbox accepts to make it more tailored to clients?
For example for a client, their inbox files email could be: xero.inbox.owerthsgm56785.49n6356@xerofiles.com which is crazy!
It would be so much better if it could be something like xero.inbox.clientname@xerofiles.com

Xero Files - Ability to restore deleted files
A 'Deleted' folder in Files that captures deleted files.
Once I have uploaded a receipt to the files folder, I always dispose of the original.
If you accidentally attach it too, and then delete it from the transaction, it is gone forever. You have no ability to reload it from the files folder.
The original uploaded file is gone, so you have to source another copy of the receipt from the supplier.
Surely this deleted uploaded file has gone somewhere?
Can we have it directed to a folder?

Files - Drag & drop a file to attach to a transaction
Just like the "Drop or click to upload files" area below this text box, I'd like an area within each transaction that I can use to upload an invoice or receipt. Rather than clicking the add document button and searching through the file hierarchy.

Xero Files - Ability to rename and/or delete file while viewing in inbox
In the files inbox, when I want to rename or delete a file, I cannot do so while looking at the contents of the file. I must close the file and try to find it amongst the dozen or so files sent by a dozen different people, and then rename or delete it. I would like to be able to rename the file while I have it open.
Similarly, I would like to delete files from the inbox while looking at them - I get a LOT of forwarded email threads, and every logo in every footer shows up as…

Xero Files: File upload notifications for administrators
When a client uploads or emails a file to the Xero files area of their own subscription, it would be helpful if we, as their accountants, could receive a notification to let us know there is a file waiting for us.
This should be an optional setting, perhaps even with limits (eg notify me for every 5 files uploaded).19 votes -
Files - Add delete button to file preview
In the Files area, there are some that you do not know of until you opened them, and upon seeing them, it's not needed for the business. You have to close the file, either select the checkbox then delete, or the option button on the right to delete. Can you add a Delete function upon opening the file so we don't have to click close just to delete unwanted files? Thank you!.
2 votesHi team, we appreciate the interest in improvements to the Files inbox. We are in the process of developing the inbox and improve efficiencies in how you manage and use uploaded files in Xero.
As part of this work we will be improving the preview of files so you can see this side by side within the files inbox, enabling you quickly select and delete a files without having to open and close the preview. I'll keep you updated of when this is live for you here.

Files - Allow file emails without attachments
Ability to accept emails that have no attachments in Xero Files.
Purpose: Users can upload their email invoices/quotes easily into Xero.
37 votesHi community, thanks for all your inputs here and apologies we've not engaged here before now.
As we continue to explore ways to improve efficiencies for our customers this is an idea our team are aware of and will consider in future improvements.
We have recently introduced Smart Document Capture, powered by AI that extracts data from files uploaded to your Inbox to help you create transactions in your organisation.
Coupled with this, we've also released the ability to upload multiple documents from your mobile. Meaning you can take photos of invoices you've received via email and easily upload these through your mobile, which Xero will then analyse and help you create transactions from.
We appreciate this isn't a direct solve for this idea but may bridge the gap for some here.

Contract management
Create a full document management suit that links into invoicing including agreed increases reminders and renewals. Look at a integrated solution with online signing ability like Videosign: https://www.videosign.co.uk/
9 votesHi team, coming back to the idea here and considering the lack of support this idea has received since initially started in 2022 we'll soon remove this from the forums.
We appreciate the needs that have been shared in a feature of this kind however want to be upfront that this isn't something we have any near terms plans for developing within Xero. As noted in previous updates would recommend exploring what's available to accommodate your needs in the Xero app store. Thanks

Files - Ability to send documents to cloud storage from Xero Files
Ability to push files that’s uploaded in Xero Files to cloud storage (e.g. Google Drive, Dropbox, and Sharepoint).
Purpose: Users can easily store/keep their files that they’ve uploaded in Xero into their own cloud storage. Especially when they have many documents that exceed the limit of Xero Files.
12 votesHi team, though we appreciate the use you'd find in being able to connect or send Xero Files to your cloud storage we want to be open that this isn't in our short terms plans.
We're keen to keep getting an understanding of interest in the capability, and will share if there are any updates or progress of this, here.

Xero Files - Show email subject in Xero Files
Show the email subject line in Xero files.
It's simple enough to forward emails with invoices to my xero mailbox, but I don't have control over the filename. It would be great if Xero can show the subject line. That way I could change the subject line when I forward the email. It would look like a note on the invoice in Xero Files.
7 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing and supporting this idea. The file name shown in Xero Files is taken from the name on the attachments. As a workaround these could be renamed before the emails are forwarded to Xero or renamed from within Xero files.

Files - Control/edit the name of PDF files sent from Xero
Ability to edit the PDF name when sending PDF attachment from Xero.
Purpose: Users’ can name their attachment with their business name.
92 votesHi community, while we're continuing to keep a close eye on the support for this idea here, we don't have any plans in the near term to control the naming of files sent form Xero.
Just to share, though appreciate many will already be aware, once the file is received and downloaded by the recipient the file name can be manually edited on their local device.
If there are any plans made we'll share here.
