X-Files Pro for Salesforce Solution Providers in Sydney
X-Files Pro, powered by Ceptes, moves your growing volume of Salesforce files to external storage - SharePoint, OneDrive, AWS S3, or Google Drive - while keeping them fully linked to Salesforce records. Code Hyper One sets it up, connects it securely, and helps you avoid paying premium Salesforce storage fees for files that don't need to sit inside Salesforce at all.
Why Salesforce Storage Becomes a Real Cost Problem
Salesforce includes a base amount of file and data storage with every org, but it fills up faster than most businesses expect - every attachment, contract, proposal, and uploaded document tied to a record adds up over years of sales and service activity. Once you exceed your included allocation, additional Salesforce storage is billed at a meaningful premium compared to standard cloud storage pricing. For a business with years of accumulated files, that gap can turn into a significant recurring cost for something that's ultimately just file storage, not core CRM data.
What X-Files Pro Actually Does
X-Files Pro sits between Salesforce and your chosen external storage platform, so files stay fully accessible and linked to the right Salesforce record without your team noticing any change in how they work day to day.
- Choice of storage backend - SharePoint, OneDrive, AWS S3, or Google Drive, depending on what your business already uses
- Seamless Salesforce integration - files remain linked directly to Salesforce records, accessible from within the familiar Salesforce interface
- No disruption to daily workflow - your team keeps working inside Salesforce exactly as before; the storage location changes, the experience doesn't
- Custom folder structures - files can be organised in the external storage system to match how your business is actually structured, not a flat dump of documents
The Cross-Sell Advantage Most Providers Miss: Use Storage You Already Own
If your business already runs on Microsoft 365, X-Files Pro can send your Salesforce files to SharePoint or OneDrive - storage you're already paying for and that we already manage - rather than standing up a brand-new AWS S3 environment with its own separate cost and administration overhead. For most Sydney small and mid-sized businesses, this is the simplest, most cost-effective option, since it avoids adding an entirely new cloud platform and vendor relationship just to solve a storage problem.
AWS S3 remains the right choice for larger file volumes, more complex folder architecture requirements, or businesses with an existing AWS environment - we'll help you work out which fits your situation during a free review.
A Common Scenario We Solve
Businesses that have used Salesforce for several years, particularly in sales, service, or project-based industries, often reach a point where file volume - contracts, proposals, case attachments, signed documents - has quietly grown to the point where Salesforce storage fees become a noticeable line item. The fix isn't reducing what gets stored; it's moving where it's stored, without disrupting how staff access it. That's the exact gap X-Files Pro closes, and where we handle the setup and folder structure planning so the migration doesn't create a new mess.
Security and Compliance
- Encryption in transit and at rest, protecting files whether they land in SharePoint, OneDrive, AWS S3, or Google Drive
- Access controls aligned with your existing identity setup - for Microsoft 365 destinations, this ties into Microsoft Entra ID permissions
- Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) considerations - where storage decisions involve personal or client information, we factor in Australian Privacy Principles obligations, not just international frameworks like GDPR or HIPAA that may not directly apply to your business
- Backup coverage - depending on your chosen storage destination, we can pair this with our SaaS backup or M365 backup services to make sure externally stored files are properly protected, not just relocated

Frequently Asked Questions
What is X-Files Pro?
X-Files Pro, powered by Ceptes, is a Salesforce integration that moves files to external storage - SharePoint, OneDrive, AWS S3, or Google Drive - while keeping them fully linked to Salesforce records, reducing the amount of expensive native Salesforce storage a business needs to pay for.
Can X-Files Pro send files to storage I already use, like OneDrive or SharePoint?
Yes. If your business already runs Microsoft 365, files can be routed to SharePoint or OneDrive rather than a separate platform like AWS S3, avoiding the cost and administrative overhead of standing up a new cloud storage environment.
Will my team notice a change in how they use Salesforce?
No. Files remain accessible from directly within Salesforce records. The only change is where the file is physically stored - the day-to-day experience for staff stays the same.
How much can this actually save on Salesforce storage costs?
Savings depend on how much you're currently paying for additional Salesforce storage blocks versus the cost of your chosen external storage. We'll calculate the specific savings for your business as part of a free storage review, since Salesforce's storage pricing tiers change periodically.
Is external file storage for Salesforce secure?
Yes, when configured correctly. Files are encrypted in transit and at rest, and access controls can be tied to your existing identity management setup, whether that's Microsoft Entra ID for Microsoft 365 destinations or equivalent controls for AWS S3 or Google Drive.
How long does a X-Files Pro setup take?
A typical setup and migration for a small to mid-sized Salesforce org takes one to two weeks, depending on file volume and the complexity of the folder structure required.
