• File Storage Space – The Tombstone

Here’s the eerie sign! As you generate a horrifying volume of files due to many means such as email attachments, 3rd-party apps, or user uploads, the limited file storage space of Salesforce seems to be a scaredy cat, cautioning you with the red alert.

No. You can’t rest assured that there’s no ghost trying to get into your Salesforce files. There are evil hands always around your files. No matter how reliable and powerful your external storage is, once you decide to move your Salesforce files into it, you need to be cautious about its security.

If the Salesforce records are not matched with the respective files in the external repository, how will you conduct seamless and effective operations?
