Lightning Web Component

Smarter Files

The smarter way to manage files on any Salesforce record

Smarter Files replaces the standard related files component with the file handling admins actually expect. Bulk downloads, upload controls, public link generation, document visibility rules — all without leaving Salesforce and without writing a line of Apex.

Beyond native files

What Smarter Files gives you

Three things the standard files component cannot do, built to enterprise standards and ready to drop onto any Lightning record page.

Bulk ZIP download

Download every file on a record as a single ZIP. Server-side processing handles large collections; client-side mode keeps small batches instant.

Public links in one click

Generate a shareable public URL for any file and auto-copy it to your clipboard. Ready to paste into email, Slack, or a case comment.

Visibility controls

Role-based category rules and private file marking with granular permission control. Give users only the files they should see — no workarounds.

Everything else you need

Every user-facing string is a Custom Label — translate and rebrand without touching code.

Upload restrictions

Configure allowed file extensions and maximum upload size per component instance directly in Lightning App Builder.

List and tile views

Switch between dense list and visual tile layouts per page, with configurable default view settings.

Native file preview

Preview files using the standard Salesforce previewer — no downloads, no external viewer, no third-party dependencies.

Custom Labels throughout

All UI strings are Custom Labels, so admins can localize and customize the component without modifying code.

Platform License ready

Works with Platform Starter and Platform Plus licenses. No Sales Cloud or Service Cloud requirement.

Works on any object

Drop it on any standard or custom object record page through Lightning App Builder. Same behavior everywhere.

Why Smarter Files exists

The standard Salesforce related files component is fine for the basics: drop a file, see a list, open it. The moment your team needs anything beyond that — a one-click ZIP of all attachments on a case, a shareable link for an external partner, file access that respects roles — you hit a wall. Teams work around it with integrations, manual downloads, or paid external storage. Smarter Files closes that gap natively. It lives inside Salesforce, respects your org's security model, and costs a fraction of a full file-management add-on.
