CloudFiles Uploader Widget Explained

The CloudFiles Uploader Widget is a Lightning Web Component (LWC) designed for use inside Salesforce screen flows. It replaces Salesforce’s native file upload component by allowing users to upload documents directly to external storage systems—like SharePoint, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, or AWS S3—bypassing Salesforce file storage completely.

What It Does

Enables file uploads from Salesforce Flows to external storage
Displays file names in real time for confirmation
Returns uploaded file metadata for further Flow processing
Helps avoid Salesforce file storage limits and costs
Supports all major cloud drives: SharePoint, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, AWS S3

How It Works

When embedded in a screen flow:

Admins define the destination using input parameters (library, drive ID, folder ID)
Users upload files via the widget interface
The widget shows uploaded file names during the session
Uploaded data is returned as a resource list (output variable)
Output resets if the page is refreshed or the Flow is closed

Popular use-cases

Upload ID proofs during a KYC verification Flow
Collect resumes for candidate records
Gather documents in service ticket resolution Flows
Route uploaded contracts into specific SharePoint folders from Opportunity Flows

Benefits

Prevents unnecessary use of Salesforce storage
Fully no-code integration into Flow Builder
Clear file tracking with live feedback
Compatible with multiple cloud storage providers
Output-ready for Flow automation steps
