velgoti rani 18 exporting bulk attachments from salesforce to external storgae to reduce storagespace in salesforce
Hi,
Hi
Is it possible to use external storage to store Attachments?
As a company we have large files/attachments under Manual forms that sales need to upload and associate documents to Contacts. We also want to save on the Salesforce storage costs.
To the sales user it would appear that the attachment is being uploaded into SFDC but behind the scenes it would saved on something like network storage. We need to store files on NAS (network storage). In SFDC , we store Links to Edit/View/Del the attachment that would be redirected to do the operation on the file in external storage.
External Drive: We need to store files at following location from SFDC-
\\xyz\test
Any Quick Help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vel

We have large amounts of attachments around 1.2 Million and i would like to bulk export all of them and store in some place in my local drive and give hyperlink in formula field creating on object which should take me to the place where i stored all the files
You can download all Documents from your Contact Object and store them in your locale device or Google Drive, And then you can create an Excel sheet where you can add a File Path or URL to redirect to the Downloaded Documents File. Like you can save Salesforce storage costs. And once downloaded all Files, you can Delete all documents from Salesforce.
If you want to try any Automatic tool for this solution, then you use AppExhange Apps. We found the app which does the same things as you are looking for, Mass File Download AppExhange App. This app downloads bulk Documents and Attachments from The Standard and Custom objects with just a click and Also provides CSV Mapping File. With the help of this File, we can check File Path, Record ID, Record Name, etc.
