All integrations
Web upload & drag-and-drop
IN — POST /api/files/upload
Every integration starts the same way. A document has to get in. Dynamite Docs is a web app, so there is nothing to install. You drop a PDF, scan, image, Word file, Excel sheet, or CSV into the browser and it lands in your workspace, ready to extract. For teams on PRO and ULTRA, uploads persist to secure cloud storage and follow you across devices.

The funnel starts with a document that has to get in
- Desktop extraction tools ship as another install and another app to keep updated, and they work only on the machine where they were installed.
- Emailing files to yourself or carrying them on a USB drive breaks the moment the folder gets big or the team gets remote.
- Cloud storage buckets store files but do not help you review them. A document in an S3 prefix is not a document your team can act on.
- Without upload limits worth respecting, "just import it" becomes a 20 MB email dance or a timeout on a 500-page scan.
How getting documents in works
01 — Open the workspace
Dynamite Docs runs in the browser, so there is no install. Sign in to get your limits, folders, and (on PRO/ULTRA) cloud storage. Anonymous visitors can try extraction with tighter per-IP daily caps.
02 — Drop the files in
Drag and drop anywhere into the file panel, use the file picker, or press Ctrl+U. Formats include PDFs (scanned included), images (JPG, PNG, and other raster), and text-based files, Word, Excel, CSV, PowerPoint, ODT/ODS/ODP, HTML, RTF, and email files.
03 — They land in your sidebar
Files appear in the file tree immediately, ready to organize into folders or analyze in a batch. Select one or several and press Ctrl+Enter to extract.
04 — They stay where your plan puts them
FREE and HOBBY keep files in browser-only storage (blob URLs local to that browser). PRO adds 1 GB and ULTRA 5 GB of cloud (R2) storage, so uploads follow you across devices. If cloud storage fills up, uploads fall back to browser-only rather than failing.
What the upload pipeline accepts
One upload endpoint accepts the formats extraction already understands, sized from the exact bytes the server receives, never a client-declared size:
- PDFs, scanned or digital — up to 1,000 pages/doc on ULTRA
- Images — JPG, PNG, and other raster formats
- Word & Excel — .docx/.doc and .xlsx/.xls
- CSV, PowerPoint & more — ODT/ODS/ODP, HTML, RTF, email files
- Cloud persistence — 1 GB (PRO) / 5 GB (ULTRA), R2-backed
- Upload ceiling — 100 MB per request
- Batch queue — folders analyze in one pass
A realistic example
The same drag-and-drop flow works for a single receipt or a folder of a hundred invoices:
| Step | What happens |
|---|
| Drag folder into sidebar | Files appear in the tree. Zero installs, zero config. |
| Select + Ctrl+Enter | Each file is extracted; clean digital PDFs parse deterministically, scans route to the vision model you chose. |
| Ctrl+S | Tables commit; corrections are saved as remembered patterns. |
| Ctrl+Shift+S | Export as CSV or JSON without leaving the workspace. |
Why upload friction is the silent tax on every workflow
Document workflows die at the edge. A team adopts an extraction tool, and the first question is not which model to use. It is how the documents get from wherever they live into the tool. Every extra click and every "export it as a PDF first" is a reason a receipt stays in an email and an invoice stays in a folder. Web upload removes the edge entirely. The document is already in your browser, and dropping it into the workspace is one gesture.
The browser-only choice on FREE and HOBBY is a deliberate trade-off, not a missing feature. For a solo practitioner trialing a workflow, browser-local storage means the tool needs no trust boundary beyond the session. Files never leave your machine to a third-party bucket until you are ready to export them. On PRO and ULTRA uploads persist to R2-backed cloud storage, so a bookkeeper can scan a folder of bills on their laptop and review them from their desk later, and an audit team can share one file tree across the engagement.
The upload limit and the storage meter are enforced server-side, and usage is computed from the exact bytes the server received. The result is a predictable model: a 100 MB ceiling per request, cloud space that is actually accounted for, and no surprise "your file was too big" errors at the worst moment. Deleting a file or folder frees the space immediately, because the R2 object goes with the row.
Upload is also the front door for the rest of the integration story. The REST API and inbound email put documents in without a browser at all, and Google Drive import reuses this same pipeline. Once a document is in, every other connector has something to work with, from extraction to Sheets, webhooks, and exports.
What web upload does and does not
Does
- Accepts PDFs, images, and text-based document formats up to 100 MB per request.
- Persists uploaded files to cloud (R2) storage on PRO and ULTRA, and keeps them browser-local on FREE and HOBBY.
- Sizes storage from the exact bytes received and frees space when files or folders are deleted.
Does not
- Does not store browser-only files anywhere except the browser they were uploaded in.
- Does not silently exceed your storage. If cloud storage is full, the upload falls back to browser-only instead of failing.
- Does not require an install. Dynamite Docs stays a web app.
Why upload is a first-class integration
The fastest connector is the one already open. Your browser. No OAuth, no export-then-import. The file is where the work already happens.
Storage is metered from real bytes, not a client-declared number. FREE and HOBBY keep files browser-local by design; PRO and ULTRA move them to cloud storage.
The same pipeline that takes a drag-and-drop also serves the REST API and inbound email. One storage layer backs every way a document enters.
Questions, answered
What is the upload size limit?
The server accepts up to 100 MB per request. Per-document page caps (25 on FREE up to 500 on ULTRA) still apply to extraction, so very large files may need splitting.
Where do my files actually live?
On FREE and HOBBY, in browser-only storage (local to the browser they were uploaded in). On PRO (1 GB) and ULTRA (5 GB), in R2-backed cloud storage that syncs across your devices.
What formats are supported?
PDFs (including scanned), images (JPG, PNG, and other raster formats), and text-based files, Word, Excel, CSV, PowerPoint, ODT/ODS/ODP, HTML, RTF, and email files.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Dynamite Docs is a web app. Drag and drop works in any modern browser, on any OS, with nothing to install or update.
