As our organization transitioned away from Salesforce for active transaction management, we were left with over 1TB of historical static file data that was required for industry-standard audit compliance. Maintaining this data within Salesforce was becoming financially unsustainable, incurring high monthly surcharges for "extra storage" when the company already possessed underutilized space within Google Drive. After evaluating third-party migration tools priced between $5,000 and $10,000, the business required a more cost-effective, custom-built solution to securely offload this data while maintaining a searchable, organized archive.

I engineered a bespoke API integration using APEX Queueable jobs to automate the high-volume transfer of files to a Google Shared Drive. By building this "in-house," I provided the brokerage with a zero-cost alternative to third-party apps that offered granular control over the migration process. The solution was designed to be "failure-tolerant," incorporating custom status tracking on the ContentVersion object to distinguish between successfully archived files and those requiring manual troubleshooting. This architecture allowed for the systematic deletion of migrated files from Salesforce, successfully reclaiming storage and halting all related overage fees.
