Store, organize, and share community documents securely. Homeowners access CC&Rs, minutes, and reports from the portal — no more emailing PDFs.
Upload, organize, and share — with access controls that let the board decide what homeowners see.
Board members upload documents directly from the portal. Select the file, choose a category, add an optional description, and it's available to homeowners instantly. No FTP, no IT support, no website updates needed.
Documents are organized by type: governing documents, financial reports, meeting minutes, community guidelines, insurance, vendor contracts, and more. Homeowners browse by category instead of scrolling through an unsorted list.
The board decides what homeowners can see. Share CC&Rs and bylaws with everyone. Keep internal board documents private. Financial reports and meeting minutes can be shared or restricted at your discretion.
Homeowners browse and download documents from their portal. They don't need to email the board for a copy of the CC&Rs or wait for someone to mail them the latest meeting minutes. Everything is available 24/7.
Documents are stored in Cloudflare R2 with organization-level isolation. Each HOA's files are stored in a separate namespace — there's no way for one community to access another's documents. All transfers use HTTPS encryption.
With category organization and clear naming, homeowners find what they need in seconds. No more digging through email attachments, asking the board for a copy, or searching a cluttered shared drive.
Board members upload, homeowners access. The entire process takes seconds, not days.
Select the file, choose a category (governing docs, financials, minutes), and add an optional description. Click upload.
The document goes to Cloudflare R2 cloud storage, isolated to your organization. No other community can access it.
The document appears in the portal's document library under the assigned category. Homeowners download it anytime.
Documents stay accessible 24/7. New homeowners see the full library when they join. No more mailing welcome packets.
Most HOA disputes start with “I never saw that document.” A central, accessible library solves that problem.
Many states require HOAs to retain certain documents for specific periods and make them available to members on request. A digital library satisfies both requirements automatically.
Board members change. When the new treasurer can find last year's financial reports in seconds instead of digging through a predecessor's files, the transition is smooth.
Every 'Can you send me the CC&Rs?' email takes a board member 5-10 minutes. Multiply that by every new homeowner and every property sale. Self-service access eliminates that entirely.
Email attachments get lost. Google Drive isn’t built for HOAs. Management companies charge thousands. Here’s the difference.
