Files: File Sharing Improvements and File Removal Without Deletion

We enhanced the way files on records are handled. Files can inherit the sharing settings of the records that they’re associated with. You can remove a file from a record without deleting it from Salesforce. Orgs with communities can let customers see files on records.

Set File Sharing to Inherit Record Settings
When attaching files to records, you can have the files inherit the sharing settings of those records. For instance, when a user can edit a record, you want them to be able to edit the files on that record, too. Now you can set the default sharing permissions on files that are attached to records. The preference lets files follow the sharing settings of the record.
Remove a File from a Record Without Deleting It Everywhere
Want to remove a file from a record but not delete it from your Salesforce org? Now you can! Previously, a file owner could delete a file from Files home or a record using row-level actions. But this method also removed the file from all records and posts where it was attached. Now you can easily remove the file from a record without also removing it from other records, posts, or Files home.
Make Files on Records Visible to Customers in Communities
Now you can decide which files customers can see on records that you share with customers in your communities. By default, files on records aren’t visible to customers in communities. The new Customer Access switch on a file’s sharing detail page lets you decide when customers can see the file.
Improve Org Security With Correct File Extensions and MIME Types
We’ve increased security for viewing files in a browser. When uploading files and attachments in your org, set the correct file extension and MIME type so the browser can display your file.
