Options to overcome the attachment size limits

All,

 

I having an issue with the size limit on the Quote PDF object. The Quote generated is really big ( > 5MB), so I won't be able to attach it. What are the options to over come this issue?

 

Thank you for you time.

pvelan,

 

There are a few options depending on your setup and edition:

 

1. You can stor files of up to 100MB withing Chatter.  If you have enabled Chatter for your org and objects, then you can post the file in the object feed.  The benefit here is that the file will be available to everyone with access to the record.

 

2, If you have Content enabled for your org, you can store the file there.  You will not be able to "attach" the file to the record, but you can link to it, and it will be available in search

 

3. There are also storage solutions available on AppExchange which offer a variety of ways to store your files.

 

Hope this helps

Jay

You can request that the maximum upload size be increased. The default limit is in place for performance reasons (less chance of timing out), but you can request a maximum size of up to 25 MB by opening a case with technical support. Check out the Help window for details.

Hi pvelan,

There is a limit from salesforce side for sending large size attachement. Email services reject email messages and notify the sender if the email (combined body text, body HTML, and attachments) exceeds approximately 10 MB (varies depending on language and character set). In case you are looking for a larger file attachment you can go for 3rd party storage server for storing the file content as well as sending them over the email with large size attachment.
Cloud Drop is One such App that is some what following the same logic in order to store any number and size of files that can be associated with any salesforce object with Rackspace server.It also allow user to send very large size file as email attachment to particular contact/lead record.
