What it does

Lightning File Explorer creates and displays folder hierarchies for files associated with a Salesforce record, including one-off structures and reusable templates. It supports file tagging and searches by name or tag, with results grouped as files, folders, or tags. Folders can be created, renamed, moved, and deleted, while files can be uploaded into folders and viewed in a details pane with a link to the file record.
