Salesforce provides essential tools for managing files and images, enabling users to attach and preview files within records. However, its native functionality lacks advanced features like comprehensive file organization, and enhanced file previews.

Designed to simplify file organization, Media Manager enables users to manage files efficiently without switching between screens. While Media Manager boasts a wide range of features, this blog highlights everything you can access for free—because even the free version is packed with value.

What Salesforce Files Offers

Salesforce provides basic file management tools, including:

  • Attaching files to records.
  • Previewing files within records for quick reference.
  • Sharing and downloading files with standard options.
  • Managing files under the central Files tab for general organization.

While these features are useful for basic tasks, they lack capabilities that many businesses require. For instance, Salesforce’s native Files do not support slider views for images, or enhanced file previews tailored to user needs.

How Media Manager’s free version Enhances Salesforce

Media Manager’s free version offers several key benefits that make it a standout choice for file management within Salesforce:

  • Trial Access to Premium Features: Upon installation, you receive a 14-day trial of the Premium version, showcasing its full suite of capabilities. After the trial ends, you can continue with the free version, which still provides more functionality than Salesforce’s native offerings.  
  • Custom Configurations: Users can create tailored configurations for specific objects, enabling highly customized file management workflows.  
  • Flexibility: Designed as a Lightning component, it can be placed anywhere within your Salesforce environment, providing seamless integration and adaptability.
