Can you add a file property, where we can add files?

At the moment, files are not implemented as objects as they were in Anytype. If it's not too much trouble, these posts would become much more helpful if you can describe what you're trying to accomplish. Our goal is not just to build a feature because it's described, but to ensure we have everything co-existing in the new system in a better way.

I suspected that this was a topic in its own right that would come up later. Here are more details about my Use Cases : - A collection of books (typically training materials): I have several properties for classifying the document and a “Files and Media” field for storing PDFs and ePubs (or simple images like infographics)
- I also have a collection of small scripts and tools. When it makes sense (not when I need the latest version or when the files are large!), I store them in a property as well.
- another exemple, here I store the course (and the result in another property)
It’s a bit like the “Image” property: yes, I could just dump them all on the page, so it’s not strictly necessary, but it’s still neater. In some cases—for example, if I have a long tutorial on the page—it saves me from having to search for the file itself ;-).
