How are Cloud Drive permissions handled by the CloudFiles?
CloudFiles’ Mirror Drive architecture respects your cloud storage permissions by requiring users to log in with their own credentials before accessing files. This ensures that Content Library and Connected Folder widgets in Salesforce only display files and folders each user is allowed to see, preventing unauthorized access by design.
SHAREPOINT
I am unable to reconnect the Integration User
I cannot see any SharePoint sites in the Content Library Tab
If you can’t see any SharePoint sites, it may be because you haven’t followed the site, you’re logged in with the wrong account, you don’t have the right permissions, or you lack access. Following the site, checking your login, adding share permissions, and confirming access usually resolve this.
Understanding SharePoint Permissions in CloudFiles
CloudFiles requires permissions in SharePoint to connect with Salesforce, including reading and managing files, maintaining access for automations, reading user profiles for single sign-on, and creating teams if needed. These permissions only apply to data the signed-in user can access. Admin consent may be required based on your security settings. You can limit access by using an integration user with restricted permissions. CloudFiles does not store documents on its servers and complies with GDPR, SOC2, and ISO standards.
Why do I see more sites in Salesforce which I generally don't see in SharePoint?
When using CloudFiles in Salesforce, you may see more SharePoint sites than usual because the API shows all sites you have access to, including hidden ones. This doesn’t grant new permissions—it just lists everything you’re already allowed to see. To limit which sites appear, you can register only the specific sites you want displayed.
