Struggling to Export Salesforce Files or Attachments Efficiently?
Salesforce provides a built-in Data Export feature that allows you to export files and attachments by navigating to Setup → Data Export. Once the export finishes, Salesforce sends you an email with a download link containing all the Files and Attachments.
However, this approach isn’t ideal when you only need specific chunks of data — for example, Files or Attachments related only to Accounts, Opportunities, or any targeted dataset. The native export delivers everything, which can be overwhelming, time-consuming, and difficult to manage.
