Not on the Appexchange

The BEST related Files viewer
Does NOT include Attachments unfortunately
Just get it!

Lightning File Explorer

Labs Component

https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3u00000MBeLVEA1

Coloured Icons
2 Click Upload
Search / File Details / Preview (small)
Has a concept of Folders and you can move files into the folders, but can only move one file at a time and no drag and drop.
You can also Tag files and then search on the tags.
Would be good if you have a very static file list that does not often change

Enhanced Files List

Labs Component

https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3u00000MBbEbEAL

This is a list of File data
Great for renaming Files
Takes up a lot of space
Preview (2 clicks) / View Details / Filter / Upload (2 clicks) / Download / Preview Multiple Files (a few clicks)

Document Categorize

https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000GCGDgUAP

This is mainly for uploading files
Not going to work with files added via the API
No Help
Cumbersome to use
Upload / Drop
No Preview
Sorry, can’t recommend it

Documents Organizer

Requires Email to Case

Component

https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000FMfMVUA1

No Settings
Looks Good
Sort / File Types / Search / Upload / Drop / Preview

File Explorer

This is for File Libraries. Don’t use it on a Record Page.

https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000FMkrEUAT

I’m not 100% sure of the use for this.

Astrea Lightning Documents

For Viewing Documents

https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000FvMvTUAV

Need to add DocumentControllerLightning to an App Page and add that to the App
Functions OK but looks a little weird, but you can get over that IF you have to use Documents a lot!
No back button from File view to list view
They could have built some better features into the app.
Generally App Pages look ugly due to the big header, and this component has a big header so it doesn’t help.
I would install it.

Files Attachments and Notes

You have to have Enhanced Note enabled.

https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000FMYjqUAH

Ugly, badly formatted, terrible controls. See full review on Files, Content, Attachments, Documents etc.
But does show Files attached to Emails
And shows Attachments
No Preview
Delete button too prominent
They have two components, the basic one has no benefit than adding both Note and Attachments and Files related lists, and still badly formatted.
I can’t recommend it, I would stick with the standard Files and Attachments related list.

Files Plus

Component

US$5.99/u/m

https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000FeF3sUAF

Drag & Drop File Upload

Multi use App

Document Upload and View in Lightning
Button to Upload Documents

https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N30000000qDfnEAE

The Upload Documents Tab is really nice. Get this if you need to use Documents in Lightning.
The Attach Files button is disappointing.
- Badly laid out
- Spelling errors (including in help documents). Fixed in latest version
- But has Convert Attachments to Files button
- Shows Attachments and Files
- No Preview of Attachments
- Only opens file record, not preview
- Prominent Delete link
- Doesn’t play nicely with Console apps.
There is a Quick Upload button also
- Not particularly useful
Upload Content Tab
- Bug - said I need Chrome when using Chrome
- Shows ALL files no matter who they are attached to. Weird.
- No way to actually use the content. A bit useless.
Configurations
- OMG It has Comic Sans Font - this should be outlawed!
- Not quite sure what this is for - to create a button for uploading an attachment or file.
- Could be useful as there is no way to upload attachments via the UI anymore. But I don’t want to use this app, as it’s a bit horrible.
I can only partially recommend. Useful for converting attachments to files though.

Drag, Drop, and Upload Salesforce Files

Multi Use App

https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N30000008ZVcdEAG

Quick Upload Button
- Not particularly useful
- But it is quick
Upload Documents
- Classic look only - looks terrible
- But does the job of getting a documents tab in Lightning

FOLDERIZE

App

https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3000000B4caiEAB

Very slow to open. Visualforce page.
Terrible Terrible Look. Worse than classic.
I just can’t even begin to think about using this app.

FileTree

App

US$4/u/m

https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000FAEiMUAX

Requires a bit of setup
I’m a bit disappointed with the lack of configuration related to the view. Eg All Contacts related to Account, but it does not tell you which contacts they are on.
Doesn’t show Attachments
Sorry, can’t recommend. Just use Doug’s app.
