Note Attachments Are Private by Default

SMBcrm is strengthening document privacy controls for files uploaded through notes. New document attachments added from the notes section are stored in the “Notes attachments” folder under Documents and are private by default.

This gives teams using SMBcrm CRM & Sales more control over how documents are shared from contact workflows, especially when handling sensitive information.

Notes attachments folder

What changed

New note attachments are private by default

Any new document uploaded through notes is stored in the “Notes attachments” folder under Documents and starts as private by default.

More sharing options

When sharing a document, users can choose the access method that fits the situation:

  • Public link
  • Private link
  • OTP-protected link
  • Password-protected link

Document sharing controls

Existing documents are unchanged

This update only applies to documents uploaded through notes after the feature is released. Existing documents previously uploaded through notes remain public.

Secure sharing remains available for existing documents

For existing documents, users can still generate and share a private link when additional access control is needed.

Private link sharing for existing documents

What is next

SMBcrm is working toward extending these privacy and access controls to document attachments shared through custom fields, creating a more consistent document-sharing experience.
