HubSpot attachment export tools compared

By Kayabyte

Which tool should you use to export HubSpot attachments? It depends on whether you need one record, a link to send, a continuous backup, a migration or a one-off export of many records with a record-by-file list. Facts below were read from each vendor’s HubSpot Marketplace listing or help page on 11 and 12 November 2026 (the Backup & Exporter row was not re-read) and will change; check the listing before you buy. We built one of the tools, Attachment Exporter, so read our row with that in mind.

Table

Tool	What it is	Price (listing, 11 Nov 2026)	Good for	Limits
HubSpot’s own Attachments card	Select files on one record and Download	Included	One record	One record at a time; no manifest
Multiple Files Download (Exelab)	Workflow action that builds a zip link of selected attachments and puts it in a property	Free; 100+ installs, no reviews	Sending a record’s files by link	Link expires after 7 days; zip up to 200 MB; not built for exporting many records
ProBackup	Daily backup of CRM data including attachments; higher tiers sync attachments to Google Drive	Plus USD 25 per month, 7-day trial; 600+ installs, 4.9 from 15 ratings	Continuous backup	Subscription; a zip download of attachments with a file-to-record manifest is not documented on the listing
Import2	Data migration service	Helpdesk plan USD 99 one-time on its HubSpot listing (a third-party review says the vendor’s own pricing differs, so confirm with Import2); about 8K installs	Moving data into another system	Its help centre says hidden files cannot be exported; not a file download tool
Backup & Exporter (SyncMatters)	CSV or JSON export with selectable objects	Not checked again on 12 November 2026; read the listing	Data export	Unclear whether attachment files, not just metadata, are exported
A script or freelancer	API calls: engagements, hs_attachment_ids, Files API	Developer time; a May 2026 community post describes quotes of USD 149 to 500 for a one-off export	Custom needs	Rate limits, hidden-file 404s, you build the manifest
Attachment Exporter (ours)	Scan, then zip export with a CSV manifest, plus audit	Free scans, audit and record card; one free export up to 250 files; packs USD 49 / 99 / 199 one-off	One-off export of many records with a manifest; audit	Not a continuous backup; no import into a new CRM; sensitive-marked files are listed, not downloaded; not on the Marketplace yet

Who each one is for

You need one contact’s files: HubSpot’s card.
You want to email a customer a zip of their files: Multiple Files Download, and it is free.
You want daily backups of everything: ProBackup, or another backup service.
You are moving to another CRM and want the data imported there: a migration service such as Import2; ask about hidden files. You may still want a separate archive of the files with a manifest.
You need the attachments of hundreds or thousands of records once, with a list of which file belongs to which record, or a list of risky files: Attachment Exporter, or a script.

When not to choose Attachment Exporter

You want continuous backup: it is a one-off export.
You only need to share one record’s files: the free options do it.
You want files imported into another system: it does not import.
You need files HubSpot marks sensitive: it lists them, you open them from the record.

Pricing math

An export of 12,000 files with Attachment Exporter needs the 25,000-file pack at USD 99 one-off, and the unused credits stay for later. A backup subscription at USD 25 per month costs USD 300 over twelve months and keeps running. A one-off freelancer quote per the post above would be USD 149 to 500.

Check

Read each listing’s current price and limits. Test with a sample of records first: Attachment Exporter’s free export covers up to 250 files.
