The Problem

The Standard Related Files Component Wasn't Built for Real Work

No bulk downloads. No upload restrictions. No public link generation. No tile view. No configurable actions. Salesforce's built-in component hasn't evolved — but your team's needs have. Smarter Files is the drop-in replacement you've been waiting for.

FAQ

Common Questions

Which Salesforce editions are supported?

Smarter Files works with all Salesforce editions that support Lightning Web Components, including Platform Starter and Platform Plus licenses.

Is there a file size limit for ZIP downloads?

No file size restrictions for individual downloads. For bulk ZIP downloads, large files are processed server-side via Apex, while smaller batches use client-side JSZip.

Can I restrict which file types users can upload?

Yes. Configure allowed file extensions (e.g., pdf, docx, png) and maximum upload size per component instance directly in Lightning App Builder.

Is this really free?

Yes. Smarter Files is open-source under the MIT license. Free forever, no hidden costs, no premium tiers, no per-user fees.

How do I customize the labels and text?

All user-facing strings are stored as Salesforce Custom Labels. Modify them in Setup without any code changes — supports multi-language out of the box.
