Are you still paying additional Salesforce file storage cost?

Last Updated: September 22, 2023 A typical sales cycle consists of multiple numbers of contacts, emails, opportunities, accounts, proposals, quotes, and also maintains a lot of documents of different types & needs including files, notes, and attachments. Often it becomes challenging for a sales rep to manage this much information of a single customer. And there are many such customers and information related to them which each sales rep has to deal with. Same with service agents as well in order to deliver seamless customer service. To keep all this information, you need a lot of storage space as well. Salesforce offers different types of storage options to keep specific types of information. All the files that are generated while using the CRM automatically get stored in a dedicated file storage space. This includes files generated by standard users, community users, files from 3rd-party AppExchange apps connected with the CRM, Chatter files, and other custom Salesforce apps. The default file storage space is limited in Salesforce as it is primarily not a storage system. Once users run out of their allocated file storage, either they need to buy additional storage from Salesforce or need to find another way to optimize the existing storage. Are you among the customers who are still upgrading expensive additional file storage space from Salesforce? To help you prevent paying high Salesforce file storage costs, XfilesPro offers an advanced file management application to manage a large number of Salesforce files with ease. With XfilesPro, Salesforce customers can automatically move Salesforce files to any external document storage system of their choice. This could be cloud document storage systems like SharePoint, Amazon S3, OneDrive, Google Drive, or On-prem storage systems. Before learning more about XfilesPro, let’s see how much file storage space you get in Salesforce & what are the costs associated with it. How much file storage space do you have in Salesforce? Currently, Salesforce offers 10GB of file storage per org for Contact Manager, Group, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions. The Essential edition is allocated 1GB of file storage per org. Orgs are additionally allocated file storage based on the number of standard user licenses. In Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions, orgs are allocated 2 GB of file storage per user license. Contact Manager, Group, Professional Edition orgs are allocated 612 MB per standard user license, which includes 100 MB per user license plus 512 MB per license for the Salesforce CRM Content feature license. An org with fewer than 10 users will receive a total of 1 GB of per-user file storage rather than a 100 MB per-user license. What is the file size limit in Salesforce? The file size that is usually seen, is the 2 GB upper limit. In fact, this is the maximum size allowed by the Salesforce system. Since Salesforce has always been integrating with other applications, it should fit all those limits where they are applied. For instance, if there is a 10 MB limit to the file sizes in Google Drive. In a similar manner, the 5 MB single file or the 10 MB file for attachment should not necessarily be a limit by Salesforce, but one must adhere to it. Why is XfilesPro a Better Choice for Salesforce Storage Management? With XfilesPro, Salesforce customers can completely avoid paying additional file storage costs as they can easily move files from Salesforce to less expensive secondary storage spaces. This migration ensures Salesforce app never hits its storage limits while files are also accessible.

How XfilesPro helped an Australian non-profit organization manage 6K+ files and efficiently store them in Amazon S3

How XfilesPro helped an Australian non-profit organization manage 6K+ files and efficiently store them in Amazon S3

  As a Salesforce external file storage solution, XfilesPro helped many companies resolve unique technological challenges related to Salesforce file storage with its vibrant features and functionalities. The other day when one of the biggest Australian non-profit organizations ‘Leukaemia Foundation‘ faced stiff challenges managing their Salesforce files, they were looking for a solution which can help them store their Salesforce files in an external storage system and XfilesPro was the savior.  The challenge was not limited to storing Salesforce files externally, it was much bigger than that. When Leukaemia Foundation’s Salesforce Admin Mike Fensom communicated with our sales team and explained them the problems they are facing, he said “We wanted to link over 6000 files from another CRM into Salesforce. But we know we will exceed our file storage limits.” Mike’s concern was any file storage solution would take a lot of time importing these many files to their Salesforce system and this process might impact business continuity as well as involves risk.  Adding 6K+ new files to Salesforce system from another CRM would definitely exceed the file storage limits and purchasing additional file storage space was an expensive investment. Seamlessly importing 6K+ files to Salesforce, then storing them along with the existing files in the external cloud storage (Amazon S3) and finally collaborating them all was not easy. High level of expertise was required and as always XfilesPro delivered the job.  Before storing Salesforce files in Amazon S3, the first action was to seamlessly connect 6K+ files from another CRM system into Salesforce without impacting the business process. XfilesPro’s File Migration Utilities feature came into action and the application successfully linked all the 6K+ files with Salesforce objects without affecting the business process. XfilesPro quickly stored all the recently moved and already existing files in the external storage Amazon S3 and subsequently reduced the primary file storage space.  Also read- Effortlessly Store Salesforce Files In S3 With XfilesPro: A Step-By-Step Guide XfilesPro also mapped all the existing notes and attachments and linked them all in one location on the page to make things easy for the users. Often it is difficult for Salesforce admins to configure third-party solutions, to simplify this, XfilesPro support team quickly completed the initial XfilesPro set-up and then helped Mike setting up their Amazon server to enable a smooth file transfer.  After a successful implementation, when we asked Mike about his experience using XfilesPro, he has some really kind words ” The Support and Service that XfilesPro offered is great. With quick support responses to our questions, the support team even provided help on how to’s (not only use their product but other products as well). The team helped us set up the correct settings for the S3 Server, import the other CRM software files into Salesforce via a quick process plus Export the existing Salesforce files to the S3 Server.”  It’s been quite a few months now that Leukaemia Foundation is using XfilesPro and whenever we reach them to know how things are working, it gives us immense pleasure seeing them happy and most importantly relieved. When a solution starts adding real business values rather than just offering a one-dimensional service, it becomes distinctive. And today, when we see XfilesPro placed itself at the top Salesforce external file storage and collaboration solution, we feel proud.  To know more about XfilesPro and how it can help you save huge Salesforce file storage costs, get in touch with our team.   Check the AppExchange page here.    AMARLAL

Using the cloud, don’t forget about your storage

Using the cloud, don’t forget about your storage

As when we get down into a conversation with the executives about cloud, very often one misconception is held, that cloud simply means a computing platform. However, the conception is not very surprising as the computing part carries the application that is visible for everyone. This is however one of the major roles played by the cloud. Also read-Why Must Salesforce Admins Monitor Their Salesforce File Storage? Today we will discuss about one more component, of the cloud, which is equally important; if not more than the computing part. This is one layer that holds and controls all the data that are created and consumed by the applications. Hence, it can be said that cloud storage is highly critical, as the modern cloud architecture pattern requires applications to store data within a separate persistent service, rather than locally in the application. To put it in other words, good cloud practices always encourages the creation of a stateless architecture, that completely prevents the data from being lost. However, making the cloud computing decision is not an easy one – cloud relatively provides for limited computing options. But the storage domain is quite complex with several and persistent storage options. Moreover, each of them have a different structure, usage and function. How to determine the best cloud storage option for your business purpose? The fact is that, selecting the perfect storage option is not something to be done within a whim. It is something so complex that an independent and strategic approach is required to consider tradeoffs across major five dimensions. These dimensions are the following: The storage cost per storage unit Storage as well as the retrieval performance The storage availability and durability The process of adaptability of storage structure and access The major storage security So, the next question that arises is which type of cloud storage is best? Let’s look at some of options and their pros and cons: Disk Pros: The fast access to data and as well exclusive usage by each of the compute instance Cons: Quite a limited growth without any kind of interruption after initial provisioning Caching Pros: It can always be shared among multiple compute instances and provides rapid access to data Cons: Requires the application development knowledge to be used effectively File Pros: Provides the highly scalable, durable structure of files, can grow on demand and is easily shared Cons: The access time is slower with higher latency; requires some high-bandwidth network The bottom line Hence, it can be concluded that whenever you create a cloud solution, it is always necessary to sort through many cloud storage, as well as the persistency services to choose the correct form for your business. This selection requires planning and consideration what most organizations initially anticipate, and certainly this is more than what’s required to make the correct cloud computing choice. Hence, the requirements must be carefully thought about before selecting the storage solution. To know more about XfilesPro , get in touch with our team. Check the AppExchange page here. AMARLAL
