Configuring Custom S-Drive file object on Lightning Page
You can configure the S-Drive Lightning Component to work with your custom file object. The configuration is similar to using one of the file objects that comes with S-Drive.
Open a record from your custom object (My_Example_Object__c) and click on the Setup gear wheel on the top right and click “edit page.”
To display the S-Drive file component on Lightning pages for your custom objects (or standard objects that don’t come with an S-Drive file object) you need to edit the object’s pages, add the S-Drive Lightning Component to the page and configure it.
Edit the Lightning page for a MyExampleObject: Go to an MyExampleObject, click on the "Setup" icon (gear wheel) on the top right corner and choose "Edit Page" option.
You will see "Lightning Components" section on the left-hand side. Scroll down to see the "SDrive" component, under "Custom".
Grab the SDrive component and drag it onto the page. Drop wherever you want the S-Drive component to be placed.
Edit the following required fields correctly to configure the S-Drive component for your object. You can also change the settings for a selection of checkboxes , which are explained next in the Component Attributes section.
Component Attributes
The component attributes shown above are discussed in this section in detail. For the API names of these attributes, see S-Drive Configuration Attribute API Names
Title This is the title of the page block inside the object page. You can set it to "Account Files" (or Case Files, Contact Files, etc) or whatever title you like. This field is optional and if you don't provide a value for this field, it will be set to "S-Drive Files".
Use Custom Logo on Header Checking this box will enable inserting a custom logo, which will show on the top left of the S-Drive component in place of the S-Drive logo.
