Document management for the application

We are developing an application that will also need to manage a large number of files (documents, spreadsheets, scanned files, PDF files, etc.). We will need to link the files to other data in the system.

This will be a web application. (asp.net)

While there are many ways to solve this problem, I wonder if there is a document management backend that we can hook into the software and use its API to store, retrieve and reference files.

There should be some, but are you aware of any open source sources you have used in the past.

Thank.
