Every estimate has a **Files** tab (press **F** or ⌘3 in the workspace) — one home for everything attached to the job. It has two groups.

## Photos

The room-grouped photo grid: upload, tag, view, and re-tag with **Move to room…**. Photos attached in chat start here under **Other** until you tag them. Room-tagged photos are what the exported PDF can include. See [Upload and tag photos](/docs/estimates/upload-photos).

## Attachments

Everything that isn't a photo, in one grid:

- **PDFs** — adjuster scopes, policies, reports — with an in-app preview. Up to 20 MB each, 50 documents per estimate. PDFs attached in chat show up here too, and Files-tab PDFs can ride along on your export as opt-in extras.
- **Videos** — walkthroughs, equipment checks — with an in-app player. Up to 1 GB each; uploads are resumable, so a spotty connection on site picks up where it left off. Videos are for your team's reference; they're never part of an export.

One uploader handles all of it — drop files on the tab and Wave routes each by type: images go through room tagging, PDFs and videos land in Attachments.

## Internal-only files

Photos and documents can be marked **internal** — visible to your team, never included when you [share an estimate](/docs/collaboration/share-links) or export. Use it for anything the carrier or customer shouldn't see: pre-existing-condition shots, internal paperwork, scratch notes.
