Document Extractor

This service monitors documents related to Salesforce accounts, contacts, leads, opportunities, quotes, contracts, orders, assets, and email messages, and creates the appropriate folder structure in SharePoint. After you upload a file to Salesforce, it is detected by the service running in the background, which uploads a copy of the uploaded file in SharePoint.
