You can easily upload, store, find, follow, share, and collaborate on Salesforce files in the cloud using the Files page. This includes files you own or have access to from Chatter, Salesforce CRM Content, and files posted to Chatter feeds. All file types, up to 100 MB, are supported, including everything from Microsoft® PowerPoint presentations and Excel spreadsheets, to Adobe® PDF image files, audio files, and video files.
All files you own and have access to are available to share or attach to posts on Chatter feeds. Files are automatically added to the Files list when:
- You upload a file.
- You or someone else attaches a file to a Chatter feed. This includes files attached to all public groups, whether you're a member or not, and private groups you're a member of, but not private groups you're not a member of.
- Someone else shares a file privately with you using the Sharing dialog box.
- You upload a file to a Salesforce CRM Content library.
- Someone else uploads a file to a library you're a member of.
- You or someone else creates a content pack or uploads a Web link in Salesforce CRM Content. You only see files from content packs and Web links you have access to.
