What this module does

Advanced Document Management System turns Odoo into a complete document library. Store files or external links in a clean tree of folders and sub-folders, classify them with categories and tags, and keep a full activity history on every document.

Control access folder by folder with read versus read and write membership, search inside the actual content of PDF, Word and text files, seal confidential folders with a 4-digit PIN, and work with customers safely through the portal, expiring share links and document requests.

The document problem every growing team knows

Files scattered everywhere

Contracts, drawings and certificates live in email, shared drives and desktops. Nobody can find the latest version when it matters.

No control over who sees what

Sensitive documents sit in folders anyone can open, and there is no clean way to give one team read-only and another full access.

Sharing means insecure attachments

Documents go out as email attachments with no expiry and no way to pull them back once sent.

🗂️
One organized library

Every document in folders and sub-folders, as a file or a link, with tags, categories and a full audit history on each one.

🔐
Access you can trust

Per-folder read and write membership on top of User and Manager groups, plus a PIN lock that fully seals a folder.

🤝
Work with customers safely

Expiring share links, a customer portal and document requests, so files reach the right people without insecure attachments.

Everything in the box

📁 Folders & Sub-folders

Organize documents in a clean folder tree with unlimited sub-folders and a full path on every record.

🔗 File or Link

Store an uploaded file or point to an external URL. Both live side by side in the same library.

🔍 Content Search

Search inside PDF, Word and text files, not only the name. Find a keyword buried in a contract in seconds.

🔐 Two-Layer Access

Global User and Manager groups, plus per-folder read versus read and write membership for fine control.

🔒 Folder PIN Lock

Seal a folder with a 4-digit PIN. Locked folders are fully read-only and cannot be opened until unlocked.

🌐 Customer Portal

Members and contacts see documents shared with them in the Odoo portal, all token protected.

📤 Secure Share Links

Generate an expiring, revocable share link for any document and email it to a customer or partner.

📥 Request a Document

Ask a contact to upload a document. They can do it from a link even without an Odoo account.

🕑 Version History

Replacing a file snapshots the old one automatically. Restore any earlier version in one click.

🏷 Tags & Categories

Classify documents with colored tags and user-defined categories, then filter by them instantly.

📧 Email to Folder

Give a folder its own email alias so anything emailed in becomes a document automatically.

⭐ Favorites on Top

Star the documents you use most. Favorites are pinned to the top of every list and kanban.

How it works

1
Build your folder tree

Create main folders and sub-folders for your projects, departments or clients. Add documents as uploaded files or external links.

2
Set access per folder

Decide who can view and who can edit each folder, and lock confidential folders with a 4-digit PIN.

3
Find anything fast

Filter by folder, category or tag, and search inside the content of PDF, Word and text files, not just their names.

4
Share with customers

Send an expiring share link, give portal members access, or request a document a contact can upload from a link.

5
Keep a full history

Every file replacement is versioned and every change is logged in the chatter, so you always know who did what.

Frequently asked questions

How do I build a document management system in Odoo Community?

Install this module. It adds folders and sub-folders, file or link documents, categories, tags, per-folder access control, content search, a customer portal and secure share links, all inside Odoo Community.

Can I search inside the content of PDF and Word files in Odoo?

Yes. The search looks inside PDF, Word and text files, not just the document name, so you can find a keyword or a clause the same way recruitment search works on CVs.

How do I give different users different access to a folder?

Each folder has a read list and a read and write list of users or groups. Read-only members can view documents; read and write members can also add, edit and delete. Leave the lists empty to make a folder open to every Document user.

How do I lock a folder so nobody can change it?

Set a 4-digit PIN on the folder. While it is locked the whole folder is sealed: no one, not even a Manager, can open, edit, add or delete its documents until the folder is unlocked with the PIN.

Can customers upload or receive documents without an Odoo account?

Yes. You can send a secure, expiring share link, or request a document from a contact who then uploads it from a link without needing an account.

Which Odoo versions are supported?

Use the version selector at the top of this page to pick your Odoo release. It works on both Community and Enterprise.
