How to Download All the Files in Your Salesforce Org

This project walks you through accessing and downloading all files from your Salesforce environment.

Have you ever had the need to download all file content from your Salesforce org? If you've done some digging around, you likely found that there is no easy way to do so (until now). Salesforce's Data Export function doesn't download files and neither does DataLoader.

In this how-to, you'll learn how to cleverly and automatically construct URLs that, when fed through a Chrome extension, downloads all your files!

This video uses the DataLoader. If you don't have it installed, I recommend you follow this video first to install and setup:

How to Download & Install Data Loader

Here is the referenced Excel formula:

=CONCATENATE("URL",R2)

Here is the URL format for use in a later step. Simply replace 'YOUR_INSTANCE_URL':

https://YOUR_INSTANCE_URL/sfc/servlet.shepherd/version/download/

Have fun!
