# CloudFiles > CloudFiles is document automation for Salesforce, also available natively on HubSpot. It connects > external storage (SharePoint, Google Drive, OneDrive, AWS S3, Dropbox, Box) directly to > CRM records, generates on-brand documents from live CRM data, and runs AI over documents > to extract and process data — all without files ever leaving your own storage or > leaving the CRM. Trusted by 2,000+ teams (1,200+ on Salesforce, 800+ on HubSpot). > > Every real page and blog post on this site also has a plain-Markdown version — > append `.md` to any URL on this site for a markdown version (e.g. `/salesforce` > becomes `/salesforce.md`). **Ratings:** 4.9★ on Salesforce AppExchange (220+ reviews) · 4.8/5 on the HubSpot Marketplace (1,000+ teams) **Compliance:** independently audited for SOC 2 Type II, certified to ISO 27001:2022, ISO 27017:2015 and ISO 27018:2019, and compliant with HIPAA and GDPR — full detail at https://www.cloudfiles.io/security **Deployment:** runs natively inside Salesforce/HubSpot — no separate app to log into, no tab-switching. Your files stay in your own storage — CloudFiles never re-hosts them — and are never used to train AI models **Crawling:** this site's `/robots.txt` explicitly allows AI/LLM crawlers and answer-engine bots (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and others) — see that file for the current allowlist. --- ## What CloudFiles is CloudFiles is built around three connected capabilities, sold as separate products that can be adopted independently or together: 1. **Document Management** — connects Salesforce/HubSpot records to external storage (SharePoint, Google Drive, OneDrive, AWS S3, Dropbox, Box) so files are surfaced on the CRM record without ever being copied out of that storage. This is what cuts CRM-native storage costs. 2. **Document AI** — extracts fields, summarizes, and answers questions across documents, then writes results back into CRM fields. **Available for Salesforce today. Document AI for HubSpot is coming soon.** It is on the CloudFiles roadmap and is not available to buy or use today. There is no HubSpot Document AI pricing tier. 3. **Document Generation** — merges live CRM data into on-brand templates (DOCX/XLSX/PPTX/PDF) to produce contracts, quotes, proposals, and invoices, with e-signature support. A fourth capability, **Document Sharing** (branded/trackable links, expiry, engagement analytics), is sold and priced as its own line on HubSpot; on Salesforce it is packaged inside Document Management rather than broken out separately. - [Product overview](https://www.cloudfiles.io/product): the three-pillar pitch (Management / AI / Generation). - [What is CloudFiles](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/what-is-cloudfiles): a plain-language explainer of how CloudFiles works with Salesforce. - [CloudFiles for Salesforce](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce): full Salesforce platform page (Doc Management & Sharing / Document AI / Document Generation). - [CloudFiles for HubSpot](https://www.cloudfiles.io/hubspot): full HubSpot platform page (Document Management / Document Sharing / Document Generation — no AI tab). - [Document Management (cross-platform)](https://www.cloudfiles.io/document-management) - [Document Generation (cross-platform)](https://www.cloudfiles.io/document-generation) - [Document AI (Salesforce; HubSpot coming soon)](https://www.cloudfiles.io/document-ai): Document AI is live for Salesforce. HubSpot support is on the roadmap. - [Document Management for Salesforce](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/document-management) - [Document AI for Salesforce](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/document-ai) - [Document Generation for Salesforce](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/document-generation) - [Document Management for HubSpot](https://www.cloudfiles.io/hubspot/document-management) - [Document Sharing for HubSpot](https://www.cloudfiles.io/hubspot/document-sharing) - [Document Generation for HubSpot](https://www.cloudfiles.io/hubspot/document-generation) - [Salesforce features hub](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/features): ~30 individual feature deep-dive pages branch off this hub (AI playground, template builder, storage integrations, and more) — not enumerated here one by one; see the sitemap for the full set. --- ## Documentation CloudFiles' full product documentation — setup guides, configuration reference, and troubleshooting for admins and end users — lives on a separate docs subdomain, not on this marketing site. Right now this is the single best way for an AI system to go deeper than this marketing-focused file: - [Help Center](https://help.cloudfiles.io): the documentation home (setup, configuration, and troubleshooting for Document Management, Document AI, and Document Generation). - [Help Center llms.txt](https://help.cloudfiles.io/llms.txt): a curated llms.txt index of roughly 690 documentation pages, in the same llmstxt.org format as this file. - [Help Center llms-full.txt](https://help.cloudfiles.io/llms-full.txt): the full concatenation (roughly 2.5MB) of every documentation page's content in one file, for a single-fetch ingest of the entire docs corpus. - [Changelog / release notes](https://help.cloudfiles.io/docs/releases/): dated product release notes. --- ## Storage integrations CloudFiles connects Salesforce/HubSpot records to: **SharePoint, Google Drive, OneDrive, AWS S3, Dropbox, and Box**. Files stay in that storage — CloudFiles surfaces them on the CRM record ("Mirror Drive" architecture) rather than copying or re-uploading them. - [Salesforce SharePoint integration guide](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce-sharepoint-integration) — CloudFiles' dedicated, most in-depth storage-integration page. - [SharePoint integration detail](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/salesforce-sharepoint-storage-integration) - [Google Drive integration detail](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/salesforce-google-drive-storage-integration) - [AWS S3 integration detail](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/salesforce-aws-s3-storage-integration) - [SharePoint integration using Salesforce Files Connect](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/salesforce-sharepoint-integration-using-files-connect) — setup guide, not a CloudFiles-vs-Files-Connect comparison. - [Salesforce document management with SharePoint: buyer's guide](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/document-management/guide) — decides between three routes (native Salesforce Files / Files Connect / a third-party app) from nine questions about the reader's own workflow, and states outright that native Files or Files Connect is the right answer for many teams. Every claim carries a dated source and a type (documented / CloudFiles-confirmed / our judgement), and its Sources section names the limits CloudFiles has NOT verified, including in its own product. Published by CloudFiles, who sell in this category. - [Question 1: do you need files outside Salesforce at all?](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/document-management/questions/do-you-need-external-storage): the guide's own first question, expanded. Salesforce's own file/data storage allocations by edition (base and per-user), plus a one-line prompt to pull the reader's own Storage Usage percentage, so the answer comes from their screen rather than any vendor's claim. States outright that many teams have years of headroom and should stop here. - [Question 2: is Files Connect enough on its own?](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/document-management/questions/is-files-connect-enough): the guide's second question, expanded. Files Connect's real read/write split (reads work, writes require building on the Chatter REST API), its setup requirements, its current documented limits, and the copy-versus-reference sharing modes, all quoted or drawn from Salesforce's own docs. Flags that Salesforce's own published 50 MB download cap and "SharePoint 2013 only" line are tied to a component retired in 2021, and doesn't repeat them as current. States outright that Files Connect alone is enough for a purely read-only, standard-object, no-automation workflow. - [Question 9: what will it actually cost?](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/document-management/questions/what-it-costs): the guide's ninth question, expanded. Names the six line items that decide total cost (Salesforce storage overage, external storage, user licenses, automation build, migration, ongoing support); five of six are vendor-independent to measure, only the license line depends on a specific vendor's number. - [Question 8: what happens at your volume?](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/document-management/questions/what-happens-at-volume): the guide's eighth question, expanded. States that at real volume it's Microsoft Graph's own throttling that degrades first, not the connection to it, citing Microsoft's official Graph throttling guidance; which symptom hits first for SharePoint specifically remains CloudFiles' own observation. - [Question 7: what do you already have to move?](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/document-management/questions/what-you-have-to-migrate): the guide's seventh question, expanded. States plainly that record associations survive a standard migration but version history does not (CloudFiles-confirmed), and that this is a blocking finding, not a footnote, for any team with a compliance need on file history. - [Question 6: does anything have to happen without a person?](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/document-management/questions/automation-and-failure-handling): the guide's sixth question, expanded. 48 Flow actions and 43 Apex methods, publicly documented and independently countable, plus what happens when one fails: large uploads retry, other operations don't, and a failed multi-step run can leave a partial state. - [Question 5: do people outside your org need access?](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/document-management/questions/external-user-access): the guide's fifth question, expanded. States that Experience Cloud and portal users have no Microsoft identity of their own, so whatever brokers their access, CloudFiles-confirmed to be CloudFiles itself here, becomes the real security boundary, not SharePoint's own permissions. - [Question 4: which identity actually reaches your SharePoint?](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/document-management/questions/which-identity-reaches-sharepoint): the guide's fourth question, expanded. Names Salesforce's own two identity models, Per User and Named Principal, sourced from Salesforce's docs, then states which one CloudFiles uses for internal users versus automations and portal users (CloudFiles-confirmed). - [Question 3: do files attach one at a time, or as folders?](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/document-management/questions/files-or-folders): the guide's third question, expanded. Draws the line between linking a single document (trivial, any tool does it) and keeping a whole folder in step with a record as both change. Names CloudFiles' own automated-folder-hierarchy mechanism as CloudFiles-confirmed, not third-party verified, and states plainly that single-document needs should skip folder tooling entirely. - [Next step: record and re-check](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/document-management/next-steps/record-and-recheck): the branch of that guide for a team whose answers came out "nothing is true for us today". A twenty-minute self-check that produces three figures about the reader's own org (file storage percentage, a count of the workarounds run by hand, and how many checkable citations back each one), a two-column table for reading them, and the twelve-month re-check. Requires no purchase, and for many teams its honest outcome is that nothing needs to change. - [Next step: price both exits](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/document-management/next-steps/price-both-exits): the branch of that guide for a team on native Salesforce Files with a heavy, growing workload. Prices two numbers from the reader's own data (the cost of expanding Salesforce storage, and the cost of moving files out), and states that whichever is cheaper is the exit. Requires no purchase to complete; re-priced whenever Salesforce changes storage pricing or before renewal. - [Next step: prove Files Connect works](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/document-management/next-steps/prove-files-connect-works): the branch of that guide for a team considering or already using Files Connect with a light workload. Runs five checks (read, search, write, download size, external access) against the reader's own sandbox rather than trusting Salesforce's own FAQ, whose published limits are tied to a component retired in 2021. - [Next step: test at your real volume](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/document-management/next-steps/test-at-your-real-volume): the branch of that guide for a team on Files Connect with a heavy workload. Tests search and listing against a folder the reader's own real size, not a demo, since volume breaks those before anything else. - [Next step: decide build or buy](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/document-management/next-steps/decide-build-or-buy): the branch of that guide for a team past native Files and Files Connect with a still-light workload. Lists what genuinely needs automating from the reader's own data, then prices building it against buying it, all-in including maintenance. - [Next step: sandbox the migration](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/document-management/next-steps/sandbox-the-migration): the branch of that guide for a team moving a heavy workload to an external app. Scopes what's moving before any tool is chosen, and checks what a migration typically drops (record associations usually survive; version history usually does not) against the reader's own test run. - [S3 cost calculator](https://www.cloudfiles.io/tools/s3-cost-calculator) — estimates AWS S3 storage/request/transfer costs for teams moving files off CRM-native storage. - [Salesforce file storage cost](https://www.cloudfiles.io/blog/salesforce-file-storage-cost): what Salesforce charges for file and data storage, the per-edition allowances, what happens when an org runs out, and how moving files to external storage reduces the bill. - [Salesforce file storage limits: the verified facts](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/facts/salesforce-file-storage-limits): Salesforce's own documentation states file storage is a flat 10GB per org for every edition, with no per-user-license line; a "10GB plus 2GB per user license" formula circulates widely online and is not in that documentation. Names the sources repeating the uncited figure, notes that live web search repeats it too, and includes an anonymized real-org proof table gathered through Salesforce partner consultations. --- ## Industries - [Industries overview](https://www.cloudfiles.io/industries) — cross-platform industries hub. - [Salesforce industries hub](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/industries) — the industries hub with dedicated deep-dive pages for: - [Financial Services](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/industries/financial-services) - [Healthcare & Life Sciences](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/industries/healthcare) - [Technology & IT](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/industries/technology-and-it) - [Real Estate & Construction](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/industries/real-estate-and-construction) - [Manufacturing](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/industries/manufacturing) - [Media](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/industries/media) - [Non-Profit](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/industries/non-profit) - [Professional Services](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/industries/professional-services) - [Public Sector](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/industries/public-sector) - [HubSpot industries hub](https://www.cloudfiles.io/hubspot/industries) - Additional industries (Agriculture & Mining, Automotive, Communications, Consumer Goods, Education, Energy, Government, Retail, Travel & Hospitality) are listed as categories on the industries hub but do not yet have dedicated pages. --- ## Use cases - [Use cases hub](https://www.cloudfiles.io/use-cases) — cross-CRM use-case landing page. - [Sales teams](https://www.cloudfiles.io/use-cases/sales) - [Marketing teams](https://www.cloudfiles.io/use-cases/marketing) - [Service teams](https://www.cloudfiles.io/use-cases/service) - [Salesforce use cases](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/use-cases) — KYC intake, AI extraction, automated folders, generation, Experience Cloud portals, SharePoint sync.

[Salesforce pricing hub](https://www.cloudfiles.io/pricing/salesforce) · [Document Management](https://www.cloudfiles.io/pricing/salesforce/document-management) · [Document Generation](https://www.cloudfiles.io/pricing/salesforce/document-generation) · [Document AI](https://www.cloudfiles.io/pricing/salesforce/document-ai) · [Document Sharing](https://www.cloudfiles.io/pricing/salesforce/document-sharing) - **HubSpot** publishes real self-serve, per-license pricing with a two-tier Business/Enterprise structure and a monthly/yearly toggle (yearly ≈ 10× the monthly rate, i.e. ~17% off): - [Document Management](https://www.cloudfiles.io/pricing/hubspot/document-management) — Business $5/license/month ($50/year), Enterprise $15/license/month ($150/year) - [Document Generation](https://www.cloudfiles.io/pricing/hubspot/document-generation) — Business $15/license/month ($150/year), Enterprise $25/license/month ($250/year) - [Document Sharing](https://www.cloudfiles.io/pricing/hubspot/document-sharing) — Business $15/license/month ($150/year), Enterprise $25/license/month ($250/year) - [HubSpot pricing hub](https://www.cloudfiles.io/pricing/hubspot) - [Pricing landing page](https://www.cloudfiles.io/pricing) — routes to the Salesforce/HubSpot pricing hubs above.

There is no separately priced support tier and nothing is sold as an add-on. **Channels:** live chat on cloudfiles.io and help.cloudfiles.io, available around the clock; email at support@cloudfiles.io, monitored on Business Days (Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays); prescheduled live technical support calls, booked at meet.cloudfiles.io/salesforce; and optional temporary access to the customer's Salesforce org so CloudFiles can configure it directly. **Response commitments**, from the Master Service Agreement, measured during Business Days: critical issues such as service downtime, two hours; high priority such as significant performance degradation, four hours; medium priority such as non-critical bugs and feature requests, one Business Day. Resolution times depend on the issue and are not guaranteed. **Availability:** CloudFiles commits to keeping the service available at least 99.5% of each calendar month, with live figures published on the status page. **Implementation:** a 45-minute onboarding call is included on every paid plan, followed by as many further live sessions as the implementation needs, at no additional cost.

It connects external storage (SharePoint, Google Drive, OneDrive, AWS S3, Dropbox, Box) to CRM records so files surface on the record without being copied out of your own storage, generates documents from live CRM data, and runs AI over documents to extract data back into CRM fields (Salesforce today; HubSpot coming soon). **Q: What are CloudFiles' products?** Document Management, Document AI, and Document Generation, plus Document Sharing (branded/ trackable links). Document Management, Generation, and Sharing are available for both Salesforce and HubSpot. **Document AI is available for Salesforce today; Document AI for HubSpot is coming soon.** It is on the roadmap, not available today, and there is no HubSpot Document AI pricing page. **Q: Is Document AI available for HubSpot?** Not yet. Document AI is live for Salesforce. Document AI for HubSpot is coming soon. It is on the CloudFiles roadmap and is not available to buy or use today. **Q: How much does CloudFiles cost?** It depends on the CRM: HubSpot publishes real, self-serve per-license pricing, while Salesforce pricing is sales-assisted with no published dollar figure. See the Pricing section above for current tiers by CRM and plan. **Q: Which storage providers does CloudFiles connect to?** SharePoint, Google Drive, OneDrive, AWS S3, Dropbox, and Box. Files remain in that storage; CloudFiles surfaces them on the CRM record rather than copying or re-uploading them (the "Mirror Drive" architecture). **Q: How much file storage does Salesforce give you, and does it scale per user?** 10GB per org, flat, for every edition from Contact Manager through Unlimited, per Salesforce's own current documentation. It does not scale with the number of users. A "2GB per user license" figure circulates widely online but is not in Salesforce's documentation; see [Salesforce file storage limits: the verified facts](https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/facts/salesforce-file-storage-limits). **Q: Does CloudFiles store files on its own servers?** No. Files stay in your connected external storage at all times, respecting its existing permissions, and are never used to train CloudFiles' AI models. **Q: Is CloudFiles secure?** CloudFiles is independently audited for SOC 2 Type II, certified to ISO 27001:2022, ISO 27017:2015 and ISO 27018:2019, and compliant with HIPAA and GDPR. Data is encrypted with TLS 1.2 or higher in transit and AES-256 at rest, and stored in one of four data-residency regions you choose. Certificates and reports are available at https://trust.cloudfiles.io/ **Q: Is CloudFiles SOC 2 compliant?** CloudFiles is independently audited for SOC 2 Type II. SOC 2 produces an audit report rather than a certificate, which is why CloudFiles says audited rather than certified. The report is available under NDA to enterprise customers and qualified prospects — request it through the trust portal at https://trust.cloudfiles.io/ or ask your account team. **Q: Does CloudFiles have ISO 27001 certification?** Yes. CloudFiles is certified to ISO 27001:2022, and also to ISO 27017:2015 and ISO 27018:2019, the cloud-specific standards in the same family. Certificates are available through the trust portal at https://trust.cloudfiles.io/ **Q: Where is CloudFiles data stored?** In the data-residency region you select when you connect your org: the United States (default), the European Union, the United Kingdom or Australia. CloudFiles runs on Amazon Web Services with MongoDB Atlas database clusters deployed on AWS, and your data does not leave the region you chose. Backups stay in that region too. **Q: Which AI service processes my documents?** Amazon Bedrock, an AWS service. CloudFiles sends document content to Bedrock for extraction, classification and summarisation, inside the data-residency region you selected, with zero data retention. AWS is named as a sub-processor in Annex III of the CloudFiles Data Processing Agreement at https://www.cloudfiles.io/dpa **Q: Who are CloudFiles' sub-processors?** CloudFiles' sub-processors are named in Annex III of its Data Processing Agreement at https://www.cloudfiles.io/dpa — the public, single authoritative list, which also states which sub-processors receive Customer Content. CloudFiles gives thirty days' advance written notice of any addition or replacement, with a right to object before the change takes effect. **Q: What is CloudFiles' rating?** 4.9★ on the Salesforce AppExchange (220+ reviews) and 4.8/5 on the HubSpot Marketplace (1,000+ teams). It is used by 2,000+ Salesforce and HubSpot teams in total. See the Profiles & Reviews section above for the underlying listings, including a separate G2 rating. **Q: How does CloudFiles compare to Salesforce Files Connect?** Files Connect is Salesforce's built-in, read-only SharePoint connector — no bi-directional sync, no folder automation, no AI processing, no document generation. CloudFiles is a full replacement covering storage sync, AI extraction, and document generation natively inside Salesforce. See https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/cloudfiles-vs-files-connect. **Q: How does CloudFiles compare to other Salesforce document management apps?** CloudFiles scores 24Files, XfilesPro, Share Connect and sFiles against itself on one published method, from public sources, with a head-to-head page for each. The ranked results are at https://www.cloudfiles.io/salesforce/compare/document-management. Comparisons with document generation tools such as Conga Composer are listed in the "Competitor comparisons" section above. **Q: Does CloudFiles work with Salesforce Experience Cloud?** Yes — Experience Cloud portal users can upload and access documents routed to connected external storage without needing a Salesforce license. **Q: Where can I find full product documentation, not just marketing content?** See the "Documentation" section above — CloudFiles' full Help Center, including its own llms.txt and llms-full.txt indexes, at https://help.cloudfiles.io. --- *Generated: 2026-10-07 · Website: https://www.cloudfiles.io/ · Trust Portal: https://trust.cloudfiles.io/* *Every URL in this file is verified at build time by `node tools/check-llms.js` (internal links against the live sitemap, external links via a live HTTP check) — see content/llms-exclude.txt for pages deliberately not linked here.
