Document management

Uploading files and documents into EverReal

Introduction

EverReal provides 2 ways to upload files.

1. Uploading a document that can be linked to various entities directly.

2. Uploading a file for later use that can be transformed to a document later or can be used for other data sources, like linking it to a listing.

Most common scenarios

• For uploading documents to properties and units, please use the Document management page.

• For uploading files for listings please use the Simple file upload page.

Important to know

• All files uploaded to your account are tracked and are subject to extra cost if the account file size exceeds 10GB

• Maximum file size allowed to be uploaded is 20MB

• We don't support uploading in chunks for bigger file sizes - yet

• Images are resized automatically for storage optimisation to a maximum size /or width of 2500px.

• A relative path needs to be passed for every upload as resourcePath property and we will return the final resourcePath with the company namespace appended to it, similar to something like: subdomain/{accountUniqueIdentifier}/{resourcePath}.

  • for documents we also append the document id at the end, so the final resourcePath will look like subdomain/{accountUniqueIdentifier}/{resourcePath}/{documentId}

• To get the complete URL to the file, you should append one of these urls:

  • https://resources.everreal.co/returnedResourcePath for production environment

  • https://qa.resources.everreal.co/returnedResourcePath for staging environment

• We don't provide an "update" endpoint, because the CDN will cache the resources, thus we recommend always creating a new file and to delete the old one. The CDN cache is between 1h to 24h.

GDPR

• All files are stored in AWS S3 and encrypted on bucket level and only we, as EverReal have access to it.
