S-Drive comes out-of-the-box ready to configure for Accounts, Contacts, Cases, Opportunities, and Leads

In order to use S-Drive on these objects, we need to set up S-Drive on the record page. For Lightning, this means adding an S-Drive component to the Lightning Record Page. For Classic, it means setting up an override page.

S-Drive File Component for Lightning (Accounts, Cases, Contacts, Opportunities, Leads)

To display the S-Drive file component on Lightning pages for Account, Case, Contact, Opportunity and Lead standard objects, you need to edit each of these objects' pages, add the S-Drive Lightning Component to the page and configure it. We'll use the Account object as an example, but the process is the same for Case, Contact, Opportunity, and Lead.

1. Edit the Lightning page for an Account: Go to an Account, click on the "Setup" icon (gear wheel) on the top right corner and choose "Edit Page" option.

    

2. You will see "Lightning Components" section on the left-hand side. Scroll down to see the "SDrive" component, under "Custom".
   
   

3. Grab the SDrive component and drag it onto the page. Drop wherever you want the S-Drive component to be placed. 
   
   

   Open

   

   
   
   

4. Edit the required fields correctly to configure the S-Drive component for Account Files (or Contacts, Cases, Opportunities, Leads) You can also change the settings for a selection of checkboxes , which are explained below in the Component Attributes section.
   
   

5. After clicking on "Save" button, you need to activate the page in order to use the S-Drive component. You can click on "Activation" and choose "Assign as Org Default" or "Assign as App Default" from the pop-up screen, in order to view the S-Drive component. Now, you should see "Account Files" page block at the end of the account object record page.

Component Attributes

The component attributes shown above are discussed in this section in detail. For the API names of these attributes, see Attribute Names for use in coding custom S-Drive Lightning Components

Parent object name This is the name of the object that the files will be attached to. For Account object, it will be "Account". For the other standard objects use Case, Contact, Opportunity or Lead.

File object prefix  This is the file object's namespace prefix that your Salesforce.com organization uses. If your organization has a namespace prefix and you created this custom object file inside this organization, your file namespace prefix is the same as your organization namespace prefix.

S-Drive File Area for Classic (Accounts, Cases, Contacts, Opportunities, Leads)

For Account, Case, Contact, Opportunity and Lead standard objects, the associated S-Drive file objects and override pages for Salesforce Classic are bundled with the S-Drive installation. If you'll use S-Drive attachments for these standard objects as override, you can use bundled objects and/or pages where appropriate. If you are planning to use S-Drive Attachments for other standard/custom objects or as override/inline, please refer to the "S-Drive Advanced Configuration Guide" document.

Select Visualforce Page for Override With section and pick related Visualforce page (AccountFilePage for Accounts, CaseFilePage for Cases, ContactFilePage for Contacts, OpportunityFilePage for Opportunities, LeadFilePage for Leads) from the drop-down box. Click Save button to complete the override.
   
   

   
   
   

3. Now it will display View as Overridden in the Buttons, Links, and Actions section (Figure 5 4).
   
   

4. After creating an account object, you should see "Account Files" (similar screens for Cases, Contacts and Opportunities and Leads once you configure) page block at the end of the object detail page.
