Files

Files are documents of any kind (images, spreadsheets, text files, etc.) that are uploaded to Pipedrive, and usually associated with a particular deal, person, organization, product, note or activity. Remote files can only be associated with a particular deal, person or organization. Note that the API currently does not support downloading files although it lets you retrieve a file’s meta-info along with a URL which can be used to download the file by using a standard HTTP GET request.
