Core Drag and Drop
durch INCENTEA SA
Put an end to lost attachments in Business Central
The Core Drag&Drop transforms how your organization archives documents. Drag, categorize, and organize — files stay in SharePoint, classified and named according to business rules, and accessible directly from BC records.
The problem Core Drag&Drop solves
Business Central was not designed to be a document repository. Storing files as native attachments consumes paid database capacity, doesn’t allow folder organization, lacks version management, and forces users to leave the document context to find what they need.
Organizations accumulate PDFs, images, and spreadsheets scattered across emails, network folders, and sharing platforms — with no link to the BC record they belong to.
Core Drag&Drop solves all of this with a single extension.
- Files are uploaded directly to SharePoint — without touching the BC database
- BC stores only metadata and links, with negligible size
- Organizations with high document volumes can migrate the existing archive, freeing DB space and reducing the storage bill immediately
- The larger the document volume, the greater the savings — Core Drag&Drop pays for itself quickly
SharePoint as the true archive
Unlike native attachments, SharePoint provides a complete document ecosystem. Core Drag&Drop leverages these capabilities directly from BC:
Version management SharePoint keeps the full history of changes for each file. If an invoice is corrected, the previous version is always available — without duplicating records in BC.
Access and co-authoring Teams access documents through BC and also via SharePoint, Teams, or the browser, using the usual Microsoft 365 permissions.
Search and indexing SharePoint indexes file contents. A user can find a document by text inside the PDF — regardless of the file name.
Compliance and retention Microsoft 365 retention and compliance policies automatically apply to files. No extra configuration.
