# Contact Files

You can upload files to our server and associate them with a specific contact. Examples might include handouts, forms, or other information given to that contact and which you want to ensure stays available.

You can upload any type of file and associate it with a contact for your organization. Remember that volunteers are contacts too, so you may want to upload a signed volunteer contract and waiver of responsibility. For adopters, the adoption contract can be printed, signed, and a digital copy made to upload. You may want to upload animal-specific instructions you gave the adopter or foster as a reminder for later, or in case they lose it. 

# Upload files to the server

All of these types of files can easily be uploaded and available by clicking the contact's name from the **Contact List**. Simply click the **Upload a File for this Contact** button. A form pops up.
