Gary, we have just integrated Click and Pledge to our website and will be using SalesForce as our CRM instead of a collection of old word mailmerge docs and Excel spreadsheets now. We are a non-profit and my responsibility is fundraising among others. SFc has a Donor Management module that seems way cool, but one of the things we do is sell sponsorships for advertising space at Golf Tournaments, Benefit Banquets, etc. I capture the company info, but I need to have them upload hi-res PDF files for their ad. Is there a native way to do this, or should I just have them send an email attachment.? I have worked with large server-based CRM and PC based, will figure Salesforce out quick I expect.

Have you looked at the FTP Attachments app on the AppExchange? I’ve used it and it works quite well. You can upload files to a separate server with essentially the same UI experience inside Salesforce.com.

Hi Jeff,
I have an issue where user wants to attach a video file to his case object . As we know SFDC doesn’t allow for large size files . and my second question is if I want store this attachments in Amazon , then will it be the best way for avoiding to store attachments in SFDC. (note: only few user must be able to upload and access the attachments and for both action they use only SFDc as interface )
