The problem

The right file, buried in the wrong place

When site plans and photos scatter across phones and drives, finding the right one wastes real time.

Without Mastiff

  • Aerials and photos scattered across phones, email, and drives
  • Digging through each job one by one to find a signed contract
  • Before/after photos stuck on an operator's personal phone
  • iPhone HEIC photos that won't open on a teammate's computer
  • No fast way to find a document across every job at once

With Mastiff

  • Every file attached to a job and organized automatically
  • Tag files by type — Site Plan, Before Photo, After Photo, and more
  • A company-wide browser that lists every file, newest first
  • Search by filename or job number and jump to the job
  • iPhone HEIC photos converted to JPEG automatically on upload

How it works

From setup to done.

01

Add files to a job

Open the job and upload aerials, contracts, or documents in its file area, tagging each with a category like Site Plan, Contract, Reference, or Other. Everything stays attached to the job it belongs to.

02

Capture photos from the field

On mobile, snap walk-through and completion photos straight onto the job. iPhone HEIC images are converted to standard JPEG automatically, so they open cleanly anywhere.

03

Find any file across the operation

Open the Files browser, type part of a filename or a job number, and see every matching file with its job and customer. Click a row to jump straight to that job and manage it.

04

Set the board thumbnail

The first image or PDF you add to a job becomes its cover on the Jobs board automatically. Upload your best shot first, or set a different file as the thumbnail any time.

Capabilities

Everything in the box.

  • Upload to any job

    Add documents and photos to a job and tag each with a category — Site Plan, Before Photo, After Photo, Contract, Reference, or Other. Files are organized by the job they belong to, not by a folder tree.

  • Company-wide Files browser

    A read-only browser that lists every file from every job, newest first, with an icon for its type, the filename, size, category, and the job and customer it belongs to. Each row links straight to its job.

  • Search by file or job

    One search box matches by filename or by job number. Find the file, see which job and customer it belongs to, and jump there to manage it — your fastest path with no folders to dig through.

  • Auto cover thumbnails

    The first image or PDF you add to a job automatically becomes that job's cover thumbnail on the board. Change it any time from the job's file area to show the image you want.

  • HEIC auto-conversion

    Photos shot on an iPhone (HEIC/HEIF) are converted to standard JPEG automatically on upload, so they display and download cleanly on every device without anyone converting them by hand.

  • Secure, role-based storage

    Everything is stored securely in the cloud and counts toward your plan's storage. The Files browser is controlled by the Files permission, which all default roles include out of the box.

FAQ

Common questions.

How does file storage work in Mastiff?

Files works as two things together. On each job there's a file area where you upload site plans, contracts, and photos and tag them by type. The Files screen at /files is a read-only, company-wide browser that lists every file from every job, newest first, with a search box. Files are organized by job, not by folders, and every file is attached to a job.

Can I search for a file across all jobs?

Yes. The Files browser lists every file from every job and has a single search box that matches by filename or by job number. Each result shows which job and customer the file belongs to, and clicking a row jumps you straight to that job, where you can actually manage the file.

Does Mastiff handle iPhone photos?

Yes. Images shot on an iPhone in HEIC or HEIF format are converted to standard JPEG automatically when you upload them, so they open and download cleanly on any device. This is especially handy for walk-through and completion photos captured in the field on mobile.

Can I store files that aren't attached to a job?

No. Every file lives on a job — there's no way to store a loose document, and there are no folders. If you need to keep a file, attach it to the relevant job. The Files screen is for finding files across jobs, not for holding ones that don't belong to any. Deleting a job also removes its files.
