Get ready for Salesforce Files – salesforce.com is beginning its long term plan to incorporate all of the Files, Content, Documents, etc into one seamless function, Beginning with Salesforce File Sync. We recommend that the you begin to explore Salesforce File Sync as a way to easily post Files to salesforce.com.

Don’t forget you will be able to link in SharePoint files/directory!

What do we want to see in the future for salesforce Files/Content/Documents:

  1. Salesforce File Sync – Allow for Libraries to become folders, so posting to Content Libraries is a simple drag and drop
  2. Salesforce File Sync – Allow for simple Filter (taxonomies) to be applied.  Hint: use something like Chatter topics
  3. Create dynamic searches – Allowing users to see predefined “searched” Content
  4. Auto subscribe users to dynamic searched, Tags, Filters, etc.
  5. Ensure all fields in UI are accessible in reports and API’s
