From what I understand thus far about content bodies, they're essentially the body of a file that is uploaded to SF. Documents are files that have been linked to a record, and attachments are files that have not been linked. Do I have that right?
I am trying to figure this all out in terms of our storage usage. If content bodies are the file itself, why don't the counts match? Do attachments have content bodies? Are documents just the metadata for the content bodies?
#Files Storage
The behind the scenes of how Salesforce stores files can definitely get confusing. One way to avoid all this hassle is to stop storing files in Salesforce.
The next issue to overcome is... well these files are related to records and data in Salesforce, I need my users to see which documents are attached to which records!
Part of the reason why we built
sFiles.
You'll be able to save on your Salesforce storage costs (which it looks like you're getting close to capacity with content bodies) and you'll be able to leverage SharePoint inside of Salesforce... which most businesses already have.
