Link between Document Library and SharePoint List

Question

I have newly created folders for every newly created lists. We have list names and we also have the same folder names inside different document libraries. The user uploads the files inside the newly created folders however can't find any relationship with list items in the properties section once he uploads documents into that folder.

I have tried, content types, lookup columns, attachments neither seems to be working based on my needs.

Would appreciate any suggestions here. I'm using SharePoint Online.

Thanks.

As Dikesh suggests, using the managed metadata column is a good choice.

If your situation permits, you can actually create a look up column in the list (if the files associated with the list are all stored in the same library).

Or you can add files as attachments to each item.

In addition, you can also use Summary links web part (Classic library).

To use this web part, you need to make sure that SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure is enabled.

You can create a group for each file, and different groups can add multiple links.
