All the Salesforce editions (Unlimited, Performance, Enterprise, Professional) comes with 10 GB of file storage. Except for Professional, all other editions also offer 2GB of additional file storage space to every user, while the Professional edition offers an additional 612 MB (100 MB per user license + 512 MB per license for the Salesforce Content feature license) to every user. Keeping the huge volume of files within these limits is not only a challenge but also highly expensive after a certain period of time with recurring storage costs. What could be the strategy to keep all the files within your Salesforce system without hitting the storage usage?
