How to use StoneBox

What StoneBox is

StoneBox is where your business keeps its files — site photos, plans, permits, signed paperwork. It sits inside FieldStone, so a file can be attached to a job and a customer can be sent a link to it without anything leaving the building.

Everyone on your team sees the same StoneBox. You get a gigabyte to start, and a meter at the top of the page tells you how much of it is gone.

Step by step

1. 1

   Open StoneBox

   Turn it on from Integrations, then open it from My Apps in the sidebar, or go straight to StoneBox.
   Upload

   Drop files here
2. 2

   Put files in

   Drag files straight onto the page, or press Upload. You can drop a whole folder in and its shape is kept — you don’t have to rebuild the tree on this side.

   Give things names that will still make sense in March

   Every file and folder takes a description and tags. It is two seconds now and it is the difference between finding the roof photos later and scrolling through four hundred thumbnails. If you would rather not, StoneBox can suggest folders, descriptions and tags for you — it always asks before it moves anything.

   Find it again

   Search runs across every file and folder you have — names, descriptions and tags together. Filter by tag, sort, or flip to the flat view when you want everything at once instead of a tree to climb.

   Attach files to a job

   StoneBox appears in the My Appsrow on a job. Opened from there it shows only that job’s files, and anything you upload is filed against the job — which is how the photos from a Tuesday callback stay with the callback.

   Send a customer a link

   Pick the files, press Share, and you get a link to a clean gallery with your business name on it. No account, no sign-in on their end. The link stops working after seven days.

   Ask for files back

   Share a folder with uploading turned on and the same link becomes a drop box. The customer or sub can add their own photos, caption them, and tidy them up — but only ever the things that came in through that link. What you already had, they cannot touch.

   Keep an eye on the meter

   The bar at the top is your gigabyte. Deleting a file frees the space and takes it out of the grid, and anything you had already shared keeps working — a link you sent a customer last week doesn't break because you tidied up today.
