Download Attachments in Salesforce View

Hello Trey,

At the moment, if anyone needs to send attachments out of SalesForce, for instance, from a case, it is a very arduous and time consuming task. You have to download each and every file one at a time. Not good!

My suggestion.

Have a button called "View and Download". When you click it, you get a list of the attachemnts and for images you also get a thumbnail view of image files. Each file has a check box next it. You can then select each attachment and at the top and bottom of this list you have a button "Download as ZIP file". Press the button and you get all the selected files collected as a ZIP file and you can save it to your computer.

There should also be a viewer for the image files like a highslide function. (sorry, I am mixing up suggestions)

Alternatively, you should also be able to select the files attached to the record, while sending an email from that record. Like pictures out of a certain case. (oops one more suggestion).

At any rate, getting files into SalesForce is easy, getting them back out in a timely fashion is a PITA.

Hello,

I would suggest you use Mass File Download App:- https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000EcsAOUAZ. I used that application for download all my org files and attachments and that makes my work so easily.
