When i am sending an email i clikc on the paperclip icon. Then select “choose existing”. It gives me a list of all my branding files. But shouldn’t also present a list of all my Stored documents under Sales\>Documents ? ---

Hi @RFarr , The documents in HubSpot is for a different purpose. The document you are uploading in the sales \> Documents, you can share them with your contacts by creating a shareable link. Check thsi article [here](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/documents/use-documents). In email, when you click the paperclip icon, the files you will see are the files from Marketing \> Files and templates \> Files. Hope this helps! If we were able to answer your query, kindly help the community by marking it as a solution. Thanks and Regards. ---

This would be a useful addition as we are often requested to send documents to customers as they do not just want a link. We therfore have to attach from our in house system, it would be nice to be able to use Hubspot as a central repository for documents to allow some document control system
