Overview

File Storage Integrations with Google Drive, Dropbox, and Box allow Asset-Map users the ability to store and retrieve files within the household in Asset-Map. Additionally, these integrations allow new files to be posted to designated file locations within each of the file storage partners.

Clients are unable to access the advisor's file storage access unless the advisor grants access through their file storage provider. Within each household, a folder is created for the household, and each financial item on the map becomes a subfolder.

Enable File Storage Integration(s)

To enable a file storage integration, navigate to your Integrations page within the Asset Map Platform.

Activate the file storage integration of choice from the integration listings on the Integrations page.

Enter your credentials for the selected integration and choose to authorize or sign in to complete the connection.

Connect and Manage Storage on a Household

Here is an Example Using Google Drive

Manage the household's files and file storage from the household's Summary page. Once enabled, the option to connect a file storage server will be provided on the summary page. Once connected, you have the ability to upload files and view files. You can also download files with the exception of Google Drive from the Summary page.

Please note: For downloading from Google Drive open the drive in a different window on your computer.

To delete a file, disconnect the integration from Asset-Map and head over to the file storage software to delete the file.

Please note: since the Asset-Map folder is connected to your Asset-Map account, deleting the Asset-Map folder will cause an error. Please reach out to Support for assistance.

Here's an Example Using DropBox

Upload and Manage Specific Financials within the Household Folder

After enabling the File Storage integration, Asset-Map will create a folder in the user’s File Storage account titled “Asset-Map”.

Click the Financial Instrument to reveal its edit window, and click the file storage option to see this option. This could be great for saving statements for specific financials within its designated folder.

When enabled for a Member or an instrument, a new folder will be created for the Member or instrument that will be named after the Member or instrument.

File Structure

Troubleshooting

Q. Why can't I see files I've uploaded to Google Drive from within Asset-Map?

A. Due to Google's restrictions, files uploaded from outside of Asset-Map Platform will not be visible from within Asset-Map Platform.

Q. Why am I unable to see the File Storage integration option on my household's Summary page?

A. On the household Details page, ensure your household is set to Client status or Prospect status , not Sample nor Stencil status.
