Free Salesforce File Management Tool

Quick highlights

Do bulk file work in Salesforce without scripts: download, delete, move, copy, rename, merge, compare, watermark, and translate.
Cloud Sync pushes your files to Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, or SharePoint, right now or on a schedule.
No package to install in your org. Open Salesforce in the browser, and your files show up.
It's free, and it runs on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari.

If you've been a Salesforce admin for more than a year, you've probably gotten this message: "Hey, we're almost out of file storage." You open Setup, stare at the usage numbers, and wonder how so many contracts, screenshots, and PDFs ended up in there.

It's an easy trap. Salesforce Files are great for users, but each org only comes with a limited amount of file storage. Past that, extra storage costs roughly $5 per GB per month, and it never stops billing. For file-heavy teams, that adds up quickly.

The usual fixes aren't fun either. You download files record by record, pay for a different tool for every little job, or lean on a data loader script that only one person on the team understands. So when I came across DumpingCloud, I wanted to see whether it could really make this easier. Here's what it does, who it suits, and how it helps you reduce Salesforce file storage costs without losing a single document.

Why Salesforce file management gets messy

Files pile up faster than almost any other kind of data. Proposals, invoices, onboarding decks, and case screenshots land on account, opportunity, and case records and then sit there for years.

Three things tend to hurt the most:

The storage bill. Once you pass the included limit, every extra GB is charged every month.
Manual cleanup. Salesforce has no built-in way to bulk download, rename, merge, or move files, so you click through records or ask a developer.
Too many tools. One extension to download, another to organize, and a third to clean up. Each costs money and adds another tab.

DumpingCloud tries to cover all three in one place.

What is DumpingCloud?

DumpingCloud is a browser extension for managing Salesforce files in bulk and syncing them to your own cloud storage. Because it works in your browser, there's nothing to deploy to your org and no sandbox to test first.

Think of it as three tools in one:

Salesforce file management: bulk actions on files stored in Salesforce.
Sync to cloud storage: move files to a cloud you already pay for, automatically or on a schedule.
Cloud file organizing: use the same bulk actions on files that already live in your cloud.

Features

Bulk file actions

This is the part you'll use every day. You can download, delete, move, copy, rename, merge, compare, watermark, and translate files across records in a few clicks.

Here's a simple example. Say an auditor wants every signed contract attached to a set of opportunities. Normally that means opening each record one by one. With DumpingCloud, you select the files and download them together. Need to merge a few PDFs into one, or stamp a watermark before sharing something outside the company? You can do that here too, so there's no need to open a separate desktop app.

Cloud Sync: your data, your cloud

Cloud Sync is the feature that goes after the storage bill. It sends Salesforce files to six platforms: Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, and SharePoint.

Sync Now starts a transfer right away, and Files keeps the same parent-child folder structure they have in Salesforce, so Accounts, then the account name, then its files, Opportunities, and Cases. Whoever opens the cloud copy finds things where they'd expect them.

One detail I like: DumpingCloud is only the pathway. It doesn't keep your files in its own storage. Your Salesforce org and your cloud account stay yours, which makes security reviews a lot less awkward. And synced files can still be opened from Salesforce without an extra login.

Bulk management inside your cloud

It isn't limited to Salesforce files. The same actions work on files in your cloud platforms, so you can rename, move, copy, or merge things in a messy shared drive without switching tools or downloading everything to your laptop. You don't even have to be a Salesforce user to find that handy.

Who it's for

Admins get the most out of it. Bulk cleanup, scheduled backups, and a clear way to free up storage, all without writing scripts or filing a request with a developer.

Sales and customer success teams can pull every document tied to an account before a renewal or QBR, then rename, merge, or watermark proposals before they go out.

Compliance-minded teams can keep a recurring copy of confidential files in their own Amazon S3, Azure, or SharePoint environment, with the folder structure intact.

Anyone planning a migration or org clean-up can download, compare, and reorganize files in bulk instead of grinding through it by hand.

What you actually gain

Lower storage costs. Your files sit in a cloud you already pay for, usually at a fraction of what Salesforce charges. Once old files are cleared out of the org, teams can cut file storage spend by up to 80% or more.

Time back. Jobs that meant opening dozens of records become one action. That time goes to work you were actually hired to do.

Control of your data. Nothing is stored by DumpingCloud, so there's no extra vendor holding a copy of your documents.

How to reduce Salesforce file storage cost with DumpingCloud

The workflow is short:

Install the extension and open Salesforce in the same browser.
Pick your cloud platform and set up Cloud Sync.
Run Sync Now.
Check that the files show up both on the DumpingCloud dashboard and in your cloud storage.
Bulk delete the files you no longer need in Salesforce, and watch your usage drop.

Don't skip step 4. Confirm the cloud copy before you delete anything. It takes a minute, and it's what keeps the whole process safe.

Getting started

DumpingCloud is on the Chrome Web Store, Microsoft Edge Add-ons, Firefox Add-ons and the Mac App Store for Safari. Add it, open Salesforce, and you're in. The only thing you'll need to link is your own cloud account, and only if you want to use Cloud Sync.

Support and reviews

DumpingCloud has a 4.9 rating on the Chrome Web Store. It's built by Ayan Softwares, a team with more than 17 years of Salesforce experience. You'll find guides, feature pages, and contact options at dumpingcloud.com.

Pricing

It's free. The only cost is the cloud platform you sync to, and you probably already pay for one.

Final thoughts

File storage in Salesforce only grows, and so does the bill, unless you deal with it on purpose. DumpingCloud puts bulk file actions, scheduled sync to six clouds and cloud file management in one free tool. If rising storage costs, slow cleanups, and a pile of single-purpose tools sound familiar, give it a few minutes.
