Capabilities

The Google Client for Salesforce currently supports:

• File Explorer UI (Owned by Me / Shared with Me) for fast navigation
• True Document Previews (PDF, images, Google Docs) without downloading
• Flexible Folder Structure: user-based, record-based, or plain Drive folder
• Secure Sharing & Access Controls
• Public Link Creation, with optional organization-domain restriction to limit access to users in your domain
• File Versioning (upload new versions, traceability)
• Audit & Security Visibility for sharing and access decisions

Enterprise Security Layer

Access is enforced through a dedicated security layer inside the Google Client, designed for enterprise usage: consistent rules across Salesforce and Experience Cloud, predictable behavior, and alignment with Google Workspace policies.

What This Means for Your Business

With this approach, organizations can:

• Reduce Salesforce file storage costs
• Maintain compliance and control with centralized, policy-driven access
• Avoid personal Gmail accounts — everything stays within your Workspace
• Enable collaboration internally and externally
• Improve the user experience with a modern file explorer, previews, and clear sharing UX

No third-party middlemen, no external storage services — just Google Workspace + Salesforce.
