## Flink File Sharing and Exchange
Flink is our file sharing and exchange tool that allows you to upload and share documents specific to Projects, Clients, Expenses, and Actions within FunctionFox. Once uploaded, files can be accessed within the account by other users, or shared via email with clients or anyone who doesn’t have access to FunctionFox.
**Note: **The first 10GB of Flink files (Flink Tier 1) are free. If you exceed 10GB worth of files uploaded to your account, you will be charged an additional fee of $20 USD/month (Flink Tier 2). If you exceed 20GB worth of files, you will be charged $30 USD/month (Flink Tier 3), and so on. Please [reach out](mailto:billing@functionfox.com) to our Billing Department if you have questions about your subscription and billing.
#### Flink File Categories
You can add custom **categories** (Media, Creative Briefs, Contracts, etc.) to categorize your uploaded files. On the Projects > Flink page, click on the Tips/Links and then on the Manage Categories link to add and manage your File Categories.

2. To download a file, click on the **Download Link**.
#### Emailing Files

#### Flink Admin
Users with access to the Flink Admin setting under their Access Level will find a link to the File Management page, as well as reports that can be used to monitor Flink usage, under the **Tips/Links** on the upper right-hand side of the Flink page
The File Management page allows you to view all files uploaded across all Clients and Projects or use the filters at the top of the page to filter files by File Type, Project Status, Archived or Unarchived Projects, or file Owner. Files must be downloaded individually. You can delete multiple files at once by checking the box next to each file and clicking **Delete Selected**.
