About this app
Attachment Storage Offload helps Zendesk teams eliminate storage overage charges by automatically moving ticket attachments to cheaper, secure external storage — without changing how agents work.
As your Zendesk grows, so do attachment costs. Images, PDFs, videos, logs, and customer-uploaded files quickly eat up your included storage and trigger Zendesk's costly 25GB excess storage blocks. Deleting attachments isn’t practical, and manual cleanup is time-consuming.
This app solves the problem automatically.Attachments are seamlessly offloaded to your preferred storage (such as AWS S3, Google Cloud, Azure, or our fully managed storage option). Inside Zendesk, agents still access everything through a clean sidebar app, exactly like before.
No disruptions. No workflow changes. Just instant, ongoing savings.
Who this app is for
High-volume Zendesk support teams
E-commerce & retail brands handling customer photos, return labels or receipts
SaaS / IT teams processing logs or diagnostic files
Enterprises needing control over data residency and compliance
Anyone hitting Zendesk’s storage limits or paying for unnecessary storage blocks
🚀 Key Benefits
