Does Salesforce Integrate natively with SharePoint?
Salesforce does not provide a native, out-of-the-box integration with Microsoft SharePoint. It offers a basic feature called Files Connect that allows read-only access, but it lacks 2-way sync, folder automation, analytics, AI processing and bulk migration. Most organisations use a dedicated AppExchange app like CloudFiles to get a full, enterprise-grade integration.
Learn More ->
How is CloudFiles different from Files Connect?
CloudFiles adds: real-time 2-way sync, automated folder creation per record, branded secure file sharing with engagement analytics, AI OCR document extraction, bulk file migration, Experience Cloud portal support, Salesforce Flow and Apex API access, document generation, and full HIPAA/SOC2/ISO27001 compliance. Files Connect provides read-only SharePoint access only - none of these capabilities are included.
- Every second saved on each field extraction really adds up over the course of a month.
- The math is simple for CRM users.
Learn More ->
Will CloudFiles use my Salesforce storage quota?

How much does Salesforce SharePoint integration cost?
