Hi! Thank you for your feature request. Netbox deliberately doesn't support anything but image attachments, the reasoning can be found here in the FAQ:

https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#user-content-why-does-netbox-support-only-image-attachments

Closing this as a duplicate of https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/1039

If you still want to use netbox as a document store, you can have a look at the following plugins:
