Projectmates accepts 71 file types on upload. The same list applies everywhere a file is attached, including Documents, RFIs, Submittals, Contracts, Invoices, Action Lists and Meeting Minutes. Three areas are deliberately narrower and are listed under Exceptions below. A Site Administrator can restrict the list further for your organization, but cannot extend it.

GOOD TO KNOW
ZIP is supported everywhere, including the Documents module. Archives upload and download the same as any other file.
Outside the three exceptions, every module draws from this one list. A file that uploads in Documents will upload in RFIs and Submittals too.
