      • You should see the Account (or Case, Contact, Opportunity) Files section in your individual object pages' bottom section.

    2. Lightning
      S-Drive comes with global S-Drive component that can be used for any type of objects (Account, Case, or Custom Objects). You can easily add S-Drive Lightning component to any record page by following steps:

      • On the left side, under "Lightning Components" section > Custom > there is "SDrive" lightning component. Drag and drop the component to the record page wherever you want.

        • Parent Object Name: Object name without prefix that own files (i.e. Account, MyCustomObject__c)

        • Object Namespace Prefix: If there is a prefix for parent object, you should put it here. (For Account it should be empty, for Custom object it should get you org prefix. i.e. for "cg_MyCustomObjectc" it will be "cg_")

        • Relationship Field Name: For Standart objects it is "[ObjectName]_r" (i.e. Accountr, Caser). For custom objects it is "Parent_r".

        • Default Sort Field Name: It can be object files any sortable field name with prefix. By default, it is "cg_File_Namec" assuming the usage of a managed package file object (please change this to "File_Name_c" if a custom file object is being used).
