### Attachment
An attachment is an file that can be associated with another entity (like a Part, Storelocation, User, etc.). This could for example be a datasheet in a Part, the logo of a vendor or some CAD drawing of a footprint.
An attachment has an attachment type (see below), which groups the attachments logically (and optionally restricts the allowed file types), a name describing the attachment and a file. The file can either be uploaded to the server and stored there, or given as a link to a file on another webpath. If configured in the settings, it is also possible that the webserver downloads the file from the supplied website and stores it locally on the server.
By default all uploaded files, are accessible for everyone (even non logged in users), if the link is known. If your Part-DB instance is publicly available and you want to store private/sensitve files on it, you should mark the attachment as "Private attachment". Private attachments are only accessible to users, which has the permission to access private attachments.
Please not, that no thumbnails are generated for private attachments, which can have an performance impact.
