The bygone year brought unprecedented changes in the business realm and proved to be a serious game-changer. But for our product, XfilesPro, it proved to be an amazing year where it emerged as the most preferred & trusted external file management & collaboration solution among Salesforce users. In 2020, we also made the most number of product releases where we constantly added new features & enhanced the existing ones.

Maintaining that trend even in this year, we have just released the latest version of the XfilesPro application and made it live on the AppExchange to help Salesforce customers transform their file storage needs with seamless external file collaboration. XfilesPro V6.0 is equipped with some new features and functionalities while the existing features have been significantly enhanced. Let’s have a sneak peek into some of the exciting latest features that we added in the last release.

• ​Handling Special Characters for all Storage Providers – In the latest version, when a Salesforce folder or file name has the below-mentioned special characters in it, that are not supported by the cloud providers, XfilesPro offers the option to replace them with the user-specified characters or with the default characters.
  • Amazon S3 & | ‘ ” < > ~ [ `# } % ] {
  • Google Drive |
  • OneDrive filenames * < > ? : | “
  • OneDrive folder name * < > ? : | “ tested in drive
  • SharePoint * < > ? : | “
  • Local providers : * ? ” < > |

           Note: $ is not supported as a replaceable character for any of the providers.

• Role & Hierarchy Based Setup (Bi-sync & List components)– In XfilesPro 6.0, now Salesforce admins can assign the action permissions to the users and profiles. If nothing is assigned to the user and profile, then by default the user will be able access the Org-level default app setup.
