The File Cabinet is a feature in NetSuite which allows you to store and organize your business documents in much the same way as you store any files in your computer.  You can create folders and subfolders, which can be restricted either by the folder owner or an administrator. You can store files that you receive or plan to send by email and you attach the files stored in the file cabinet to NetSuite records, such as entities and transactions.

By default, your NetSuite account comes with a 10Gb of storage space.

Unsupported Symbols in File Name:

The following characters are not supported in file names, : / ? < > \ : * | ” %. When unsupported characters are detected in a file name, the file is not displayed in the file cabinet. Also, do not use & and # in file names. These symbols are reserved, and if they are included in a file name, they can be misinterpreted by the browser.

BETA File Cabinet Antivirus feature:

The BETA File Cabinet Antivirus feature helps to ensure the security of your files. Files are scanned when you upload them to the file cabinet in NetSuite. Files that are determined to be malicious are rejected.

Files that you receive attached to an email communication through NetSuite are also scanned for viruses. These are files that can be attached to an email communication associated with a case record, for example. If a file that is received as an attachment is determined to be malicious, it is automatically blocked without sending an error message.

An administrator must enable the feature before any files are scanned.
