A free document management system is a secure platform where users can organize, store, and share documents online without any cost. It allows you to upload files, categorize them, and control who can access or download them—all from a central location. This makes it much easier to keep your documents organized and accessible, without relying on scattered emails or complex folder structures.
Softr makes it simple to set up a free document management system tailored to your needs. You can connect your existing data sources, like Airtable, Notion, or Google Sheets, and create a platform where users can upload, view, and download files securely. With Softr, you don’t need to code—just use templates or build from scratch, customize the layout, set up access controls, and brand it to fit your organization. It's quick to launch, easy to update, and flexible enough to grow as your document storage needs change.
You can add a variety of features to your free document management system, depending on how you want to work. Some common options include:
\- User logins – so each person can access their own documents or shared folders
\- Custom dashboards – to show recent uploads, activity logs, or storage statistics
\- File upload and download – for securely sharing and retrieving documents
\- Search and filters – to quickly find the right files
\- Folder organization – to neatly categorize documents by project, client, or department
\- Permissions and roles – so only authorized users can view, upload, or edit certain files
\- Comments or notes – to track changes or add context to files
All these features can be set up easily with Softr’s drag-and-drop interface, and you can adjust them anytime as your needs change.
No coding is needed. You can build your free document management system entirely with Softr’s visual editor. From organizing layouts to managing permissions, everything can be customized without writing any code, making it accessible even if you don’t have technical experience.
Yes. You can manage multiple users or groups in a single free document management system. Each user only sees the documents and folders assigned to them, based on their login and role. This is great for organizing documents across different teams, departments, or projects within your organization.
Softr supports a wide range of data sources for your document management system. You can connect to Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, HubSpot, Clickup, Xano, Supabase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, BigQuery, and more. You can also bring in documents from other sources using the REST API.
You’re not limited to just one source. You can integrate multiple data sources into the same document management system and display them side by side—for example, combining files from Google Sheets and Notion. Most sources support real-time, two-way sync, so any updates to your documents stay in sync automatically.
Yes, Softr gives you full control over how users experience your free document management system. You can tailor the layout, navigation, and content to fit your organization’s needs. Each section or folder can be shown or hidden depending on who’s logged in, so users only see the documents relevant to them.
You can also set up different user roles, such as viewer, editor, or admin—and define exactly what each role can access or modify. For instance, end users might see only their own files, while admins can manage all documents. You can even create personalized views by filtering content for each logged-in user.
This customization is especially useful when managing sensitive, shared, or project-specific documents. It keeps the experience organized, secure, and tailored to every user.
Yes, you can. You don’t need to have existing documents in another tool to start using the free document management system with Softr. If you’re starting from scratch, you can use Softr Databases, which is built right in and integrates seamlessly with your document management setup.
If you do have documents in tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, Supabase, or SQL, you can connect those as well. You can also use the REST API connector to bring in documents from other sources. Either way, you’re in control of how your documents are organized and presented.
Yes, you can fully white-label your free document management system in Softr. You have the option to use your own logo, brand colors, fonts, and custom domain, making your document management system look and feel like an extension of your organization. You can also remove all Softr branding, so your users only see your unique identity throughout the experience.
Absolutely. Softr offers a lot of flexibility to customize both the design and layout of your free document management system. You can adjust colors, fonts, spacing, and page structure to align with your preferences or brand. You can decide how each page is arranged, organize different blocks, and control what different users see when they access the system.
To display and manage your documents, you can use various block types:
\- Table blocks – to show structured lists of documents, folders, or file metadata
\- List or Card blocks – to highlight specific documents, user folders, or resources
\- Detail View – to show details about a single document or file
\- Forms – for document uploads or data collection
\- Charts – to visualize document usage or activity
\- Calendar blocks – to display deadlines or document review dates
If you need to update your content or design later, it’s easy to make changes right in the Softr visual builder.
Softr takes security seriously. All data in your free document management system is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest, and your app is hosted on secure, reliable infrastructure. You have full control over who can access or manage documents by setting up role-based permissions, managing users within your data source, configuring visibility rules, and applying global restrictions to protect confidential files across your system.
For systems connected to external sources like Airtable, Notion, or SQL, Softr doesn’t store your documents—it simply displays them in real time based on your access settings. You always control your data and who can view or edit it.
Softr also uses industry-standard practices for authentication, access control, and platform monitoring to help keep your documents safe.
You can get started at no cost. Softr’s Free plan allows you to publish one app, such as your document management system, with up to 10 app users and 2 user groups, and supports all standard data sources like Softr Databases, Airtable, Google Sheets, and more.
If your document management system grows and you need additional users or features, you can explore Softr’s paid plans as your needs expand.
Softr is designed to make it easy to build fully functional, user-facing apps—like document management systems, internal tools, or knowledge bases—without needing to write code or rely on developers. What makes Softr unique is how quickly you can turn your ideas into a working system and how seamlessly it connects with your existing data.
While some no-code tools focus on mobile apps or require more technical expertise, Softr is made for non-technical users who want full control over layout, user experience, and permissions. You can build your document management system on top of real-time data from Airtable, Google Sheets, Softr Databases, or SQL, and create a secure, branded platform that your users can access.
Everything is fully customizable—from the way your documents are organized and displayed to how users interact with your system. Plus, with features like user roles, forms, conditional logic, and API support built in, you can launch a polished solution without piecing together multiple tools.
Yes, Softr supports a wide array of integrations so you can connect your document management system to the rest of your workflow. You can automate tasks with Zapier, Make, or N8N, and take advantage of integrations like Stripe for payments or Intercom for support. Softr also offers REST API and webhooks for more advanced or custom automation.
Whether you want to send document updates to another system, trigger notifications when files are uploaded, or display information from other platforms, you can integrate it directly into your document management system—no coding needed.
