Attachment Management limitations within Dynamics 365 and how to overcome them

Dynamics 365 CRM unlocks the abilities of organizations to do more with their data. From customer engagement to document storage and management, Dynamics 365 has got it all. However, no product is flawless in every aspect; it comes with certain limitations and roadblocks. One such limitation is related to document storage and management within Dynamics 365. When it comes to cloud storage for storing documents, Dynamics 365 only allows a single native option of SharePoint cloud storage. Moreover, this comes with a default base level quota for 10GB storage. All organizations reach the free storage limit in Dynamics 365 sooner or later and the additional costing per GB can be too cost intensive.

Wouldn’t it be better to have the option to store and manage your documents on your choice of cloud storage? It’s possible with Attach2Dynamics, a Preferred Solution on Microsoft AppSource. Attach2Dynamics is an Inogic solution that provides native integration between CRM and multiple cloud storage like SharePoint, Dropbox and Azure Blob Storage as shown below. Users are free to choose their connector, integrate their respective chosen Cloud Storage and then store and manage their attachments/documents in the integrated Cloud Storage seamlessly using Attach2Dynamics.
