# Why do I see more sites in Salesforce which I generally don't see in SharePoint?

CloudFiles in Salesforce can show a longer list of SharePoint sites than the SharePoint interface because it uses an API call that reveals all sites you already have access to, including hidden ones.

> Kind: FAQ · Updated: Jul 4, 2026

When using CloudFiles in Salesforce, you may notice a longer list of SharePoint sites than what you typically see in the SharePoint interface. This difference occurs because of the following reasons -

- Hidden Sites: Many sites that you have access to in SharePoint are generally hidden in its interface.
- API-Based Access: CloudFiles uses an API call to SharePoint, revealing all sites that you have access to, even if they are hidden in SharePoint's interface.
- Same Access Rights: You already have access to these sites; CloudFiles simply displays them based on your existing permissions.

## How to Limit the Displayed Sites in Salesforce
