Salesforce is the go-to CRM platform for thousands of businesses worldwide, but when it comes to file storage, even this powerhouse has its limits. Every uploaded document, image, or report eats into your Salesforce file storage, quickly ballooning operational costs and slowing down performance.
Enter external file storage.
By offloading heavy files to external cloud platforms like Amazon S3, SharePoint, or Google Drive — while still accessing them from inside Salesforce — businesses can gain the best of both worlds: cost efficiency and seamless functionality.
