How to Bulk Download Salesforce Attachments Without Writing Code

One of the most common requests Salesforce admins get is simple: "Can you get me all the files from these accounts?" On the surface, it sounds easy. In practice, without the right tool, it means opening each record, downloading each file one by one, and organizing everything manually. That's hours of work for what should take minutes.

Why Salesforce Doesn't Have This Built In

Salesforce is built for managing data inside a CRM — not for mass-exporting files. The platform lets you view and download individual files, but there's no native "download all" button for attachments across multiple records. You could write Apex code or use Data Loader to extract file data, but both options require technical skills and significant setup time.

Bulk Download with SFDC File Manager

SFDC File Manager adds the bulk download capability your org is missing — no code required. Here's how it works:

  1. Choose the Salesforce object (Accounts, Cases, Opportunities, etc.)
  2. Apply filters — by record, date range, or file type
  3. Click Download All
  4. Receive a ZIP file with everything neatly organized

You can filter to only download PDFs, only files from the last 30 days, or only files from a specific set of records. It's flexible, fast, and doesn't require any help from a developer. You can also download all files from a single record in one click.

Your Files Never Leave Salesforce

The entire process runs inside your Salesforce org. Your files don't pass through any external server. SFDC File Manager is 100% native — installed directly from AppExchange and deployed straight to your Salesforce instance.

If bulk downloading Salesforce attachments is something your team needs regularly, stop doing it the hard way. Install SFDC File Manager today and get your first batch of files in minutes.
