Team 7 — Document Management System (DMS)

Purpose & value

Provide a central, system for documents with an intuitive folder hierarchy, enabling teams to upload, organize, and retrieve files efficiently. The DMS reduces scattered storage, improves collaboration, and lays the groundwork for compliance-friendly document handling.

Core capabilities (MVP)

  • Documents: upload, download, rename (metadata), delete
  • Folders: create hierarchy (root + subfolders), list contents, rename/move, delete when empty
  • API: REST with OpenAPI/Swagger UI
  • Status: user management & role-based access are planned, not fully available yet

Data model

  • Document: id, name, type (MIME), size, folderId, ownerId (for future RBAC), createdDate, downloadUrl, binary content (to be externalized)
  • Folder: id, name, parentId (null for root), createdDate
