  • Effortlessly create, upload, and organize files directly within Karbon.
  • Link work items to SuiteFiles folders, ensuring your documents are always exactly where you need them.

This streamlined setup means less time clicking around and more time focusing on what really matters—delivering value to your clients.

2. Real-Time Collaboration

Whether you’re in SuiteFiles, Karbon, or one of your favorite Microsoft apps, collaboration has never been easier:

  • Work on files with your team in real time.
  • Keep everyone updated and aligned, no matter where they’re working from.

Say goodbye to outdated file versions and hello to seamless teamwork that keeps projects on track.

  • Use Karbon as the backbone of their operations.
  • Juggle multiple tools and platforms to manage files and workflows.
  • Value efficiency, collaboration, and providing an exceptional client experience.

Whether you’re a smaller firm looking to scale or a larger team managing complex workflows, the SuiteFiles Karbon extension is designed to meet your needs.

Example Use-Case: Amplify 11

Let’s take a look at how this extension could help a firm like Amplify 11.Amplify 11’s founder is passionate about staying on top of client work while keeping everything organized in the cloud. Before SuiteFiles, their document management relied on manual processes and basic tools like OneDrive, which often led to misplaced files and wasted time.With the SuiteFiles Karbon extension, they can now:

  • Automatically create folder templates in SuiteFiles when a new client is added in Karbon WorkStream.
  • Link work items in Karbon directly to SuiteFiles folders, ensuring that all related documents are easy to find and update.
