Support files are supplementary files linked to a parent file, such as a thumbnail image linked to an image file.

Uploading a support file is similar to a regular file, but requires setting parentId and parentType (set to FILE).

By default, linked to the latest parent file version using the support file’s name as the key. Can specify a parent version using parentMajorVersion and supportFileKey.

Inherited from the parent file; cannot be set or updated independently.

  1. Operations like move, delete, and restore are not allowed.
  2. Custom metadata updates, copy, and rename operations are permitted.
  3. Deleting/restoring the parent file also deletes/restores its support files.
  1. Maximum of 10 support files per parent file.
  2. Links are not automatically carried over to new parent file versions unless copyLinks is set to true.
  3. Renaming a support file does not change the link key.
  4. Only the parent file can establish links.
  1. Changes in links increment the parent file’s minor or metadata version.
  2. To retrieve latest links for a specific version, use version-specific endpoints.
  3. New major versions with copyLinks set to true carry over links, resulting in a single support file linked to multiple main file versions.
