I vaguely recall a practice question about integrating external systems. I think option D might be the most straightforward for collaboration, but I’m not confident about the file size limits.

Aja 3 months ago

I feel like creating a custom object for the file location might complicate things. It could work, but I wonder if it would be user-friendly for the community users.

Dominga 4 months ago

I think using Salesforce Connect could be a good approach since it allows access to external data without moving it. But I’m not entirely clear on how the indirect lookup works in this context.

Azalee 4 months ago

I remember we discussed the limitations of file sizes with Salesforce Files, but 2.5 GB seems quite large. I'm not sure if that option would work.

Wilson 4 months ago

I feel like option D could be the best choice since it integrates well with Salesforce, but I wonder about the file size limit.

Billy 5 months ago

I'm a bit confused about the best way to allow community users to access those files. Would redirecting them to the on-prem system really work?

Ronnie 6 months ago

I think option B sounds familiar; it might be similar to a practice question we did on external data sources.

Stephen 6 months ago

I remember something about using Salesforce Files for sharing documents, but I'm not sure if it can handle such large files directly.
