Find and manage files
Quick answer
You can find every file shared in your conversations — and your workspace’s documents — in the Files section of Oparo Connect. Opa reads each document, including scans, so you can search by content, not just by name.
Browse files
- On your computer, open Oparo Connect.
- On the left, click Files.
- Under “Smart folders”, pick a view:
- Recents — the latest files.
- Generated documents — invoices, estimates and other documents your workspace produced.
- All files — everything, organized in folders you can browse.
- Narrow the list with the filters: All, Images, PDF, Documents or Other, and by source — Connect or Workspace.
Note: You only see files from topics and conversations you have access to. Files from private topics and direct messages stay private to their participants.
Search by name or content
- On the left, click Files.
- In the search field, type what you’re looking for — a file name, or words inside the document. A scanned invoice, for example, is found by its supplier’s name or its amount.
Upload and file a document
- On the left, click Files.
- Click Upload, or drag and drop your files anywhere in the list.
- Opa analyzes the document and suggests where to file it, under “File under”.
- Click Place here to accept.
- Click Change to pick another client or project.
- Or keep it in Uploads and organize it later.
Preview a document and ask Opa about it
- Click a file, then Preview.
- Use the viewer to zoom and move between pages.
- Click Ask Opa to ask a question about the document — “What’s the total?”, “When does this contract end?”.
Jump to the source
From a file’s menu:
- Go to the conversation — opens the message it was shared in.
- Open in Workspace — for a workspace document, opens the linked record: the invoice, estimate, proposal, contract, expense, client or project.
