Converting Attachements to Files - App on the AppExchange

Question

As we all know that going forward Salesforce is going to remove the Attachments and would require all Attachments to be converted into 'Files'.

However, I am unable to find this Option to convert Attachments to Files in my Dev Org. Can someone tell me where do I "Enable" this feature? Note: I am using an old Dev Org.Please refer to the screen shot - Shared by an MVP on LinkedIn.

Answer 1

I'm the developer of the Convert Attachments to Files app. You can install the managed package from my GitHub project https://github.com/DouglasCAyers/sfdc-convert-attachments-to-chatter-files

The README document has instructions with screen shots and links to other documentation how to enable all recommended options. There is even a FAQ at bottom of that page to answer common questions regarding the conversion process.

If you run into any problems, you may open an issue.
