How-To Guide

How to Download All Files from a Salesforce Record in One Click

You open a Salesforce account. It has 34 attachments — contracts, images, email threads, reports. You need all of them. In native Salesforce, you click each file individually to download it. That's 34 clicks, 34 downloads, and probably 10 minutes of your time. For one record. Now imagine doing that for 50 records.

The Single-Record Download Problem

Salesforce doesn't have a "download all" button on a record's Notes & Attachments related list. Each file must be opened or downloaded separately. This is a well-known limitation with thousands of votes on the Salesforce IdeaExchange — and no native fix has been shipped.

SFDC File Manager: Download a Full Record in One Click

SFDC File Manager adds a single-record bulk download feature. Here's how it works:

1. Open SFDC File Manager inside Salesforce
2. Search or select the record you need
3. Click "Download All"
4. Receive a ZIP file with every attachment from that record

It takes seconds instead of minutes. You can also preview the file list before downloading, and filter by file type if you only need certain formats. For downloading across multiple records at once, see bulk download without code.

Who This Helps

• Support agents pulling case documents for escalation
• Sales teams archiving files from closed opportunities
• Admins backing up files before a record is deleted
• Legal teams collecting documents for a specific client or case

One App, All Users

SFDC File Manager is available on AppExchange and deployed directly to your Salesforce instance. Install it once and every user in your Salesforce org can use it — no per-seat pricing, no external logins, no data leaving your org.
