Files.com Overview

What is Files.com?

4,000+ companies trust Files.com to automate and secure business critical transfers. We obsess about security, compliance, reliability, and performance so your critical business processes just work every time. Easily manage any transfer flow without writing scripts or code, and onboard workloads and partners effortlessly. We support standard file transfer protocols (FTP, SFTP, AS2) for working with external partners and also provide native apps for high performance internal transfers. As a fully Cloud-Native SaaS, there are no servers for you to buy or maintain, there is no installation required, and high availability and redundancy are built in and free. --- Out-of-the-box integrations include Microsoft (Azure, SharePoint, OneDrive, Active Directory & Office), AWS (S3 & SNS), Google (Cloud & Drive), Box, Dropbox, Zapier, and dozens of others. Developers can leverage our SDKs, API, and CLI to build custom integrations too. When interfacing with other systems, Files.com can be configured to “Push” files to the system on a schedule, “Pull” files from the system on a schedule, or "Mount" the remote system for live direct access. Files.com is also a top choice for media professionals due to our support for huge files (up to 5TB), proprietary transfer acceleration, and our massive network with 100Gbit capacity. --- Our InfoSec Program is audited annually by Kirkpatrick Price, a leading information security CPA firm. Our audit covers the scope of the entire Files.com business (not just datacenter operations) and names Files.com specifically. Beware of smaller competitors who try to pass off someone else’s audit as their own. Technical capabilities include encryption at-rest and in-transit, four types of two-factor authentication, nine enterprise identity (SSO) integrations, configurable password and session policies, and a perfect “A+” score from Qualys SSL Labs. We offer 7 global zones for file storage: USA, UK, Canada, EU (Germany), Australia, Singapore, or Japan. These can be mixed and matched as needed. Additionally, data retention timeframes can be customized on a per-workflow basis. We meet the stringent requirements to serve customers regulated by HIPAA and are happy to sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), which is required by law. Beware of smaller competitors who claim that a BAA is not required. We will also sign a DPA for any customer regulated by GDPR or CCPA.

What do you like best about Files.com?

As a seasoned systems administrator, I've had the pleasure of implementing Files.com at two distinct organizations, and I can say that it has revolutionized the way we manage our file-sharing needs. The flexibility to integrate Files.com with other cloud storage solutions and automate file transfers across our entire organization is nothing short of remarkable.

Initially, our goal was to create a simple web portal for customers to upload files. However, as we dove deeper into the capabilities of Files.com, we discovered a powerhouse of a solution that far exceeded our expectations. The desktop application, CLI/SDK tooling, and integrations available with Files.com have allowed us to deliver unparalleled file-sharing experiences to our users.

One of the most significant advantages of Files.com is its versatility. It seamlessly integrates with various cloud storage solutions, enabling us to create a cohesive file-sharing ecosystem that caters to our unique organizational needs. This flexibility has enabled me to confidently say "Yes, Files.com can do that!" for numerous project requests, impressing stakeholders and meeting their expectations.

What's truly impressive about Files.com is its support team. Their guidance and assistance were always readily available whenever we encountered any challenges or had questions. The extensive documentation provided by the team has been an invaluable resource in ensuring a smooth onboarding process.

As a systems administrator, I can say that Files.com has made my life significantly easier. It's streamlined our file-sharing processes, reduced errors, and increased productivity across our organization. The peace of mind that comes with knowing our files are securely stored and easily accessible is unparalleled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Files.com?

I wish there was more attention spent on branding and customization. This doesn't really bother me as a systems admin, but the graphics and marketing teams would love to be able to do more with the landing page for the customer facing portal. The branding in my opinion is "fine" but it has room for improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Files.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

Files.com is a turnkey low maintenance solution. I don't have to worry about certificates, web hosting, or any of the other headaches with the public internet. We get a nice web portal for our customers, ad hoc file sharing, and integrations to AWS and AZURE. We also utilize the on prem file syncing which allows our users to work locally as if the files are on a traditional file server. I absolutely love the fine grained identity management options. SSO worked after 5 minutes of setup. Things just work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Files.com?

I love the SFTP transfer setup—it’s perfect for automating reports and sending them to clients without too much hassle. The guest access feature is super handy, too, since it lets me securely share files without hassle. It’s great for keeping things efficient and secure. The SFTP feature lets me automate stuff easily, and giving clients quick access through guest links is a lifesaver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Files.com?

Finding specific files can be a pain without sorting options by name, type, or date. It’d be awesome if they could add some flexibility here. Not having a sorting option slows things down when you’re trying to track down a specific file, so that could definitely be improved. I don't login to Files.com too often, but when I do, I need to find files as quick as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Files.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

Files.com is super handy for handling secure file transfers and automating things like sending reports to clients through SFTP. I love how easy it is to give guests specific access to files for quick, secure sharing without extra steps. The only downside I’ve noticed is that searching for files can be tricky without sorting options by name, type, or date. Overall, though, it’s a reliable, efficient tool that keeps our data safe and our workflow smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Files.com?

What I like the most is that anytime I need help (from when I first set up my account to a need to make system changes), I can easily set up a time with one of Files.com tech support. They are smart and tenacious and have walked me through a variety of upgrades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Files.com?

Sometimes their billing is annoying. Every entrepreneur has cash flow issues from time to time. If I get to the end of the month and then owe two months worth, I then have to pay both months before my account switches back on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Files.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

Files.com helps me transfer files from my clients and then pushes each file to my AWS machine. The solution just works, and is very solid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Files.com?

How easy it is to use. We are able to upload batches of files, generate a share link, and generate a unique password in order for our co-counsel to access files. Additionally, we can easily set the permission levels and other features - such as - having the link to those 'shared files' expire 7 days after we send the link to them. (Which is optional! Sometimes you need that, sometimes you don't want the link to expire.)

Bottom Line: The functionality we receive from Files.com makes it the absolute best choice for us! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Files.com?

We have not had any 'downsides' to using Files.com. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Files.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

It gives us a secure way to share sensitive materials with our co-counsel law firms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Files.com?

One of the best things about Files.com is the continous improvement and adding of new userful features. A recent feature that has been added is the ability to switch between Production, Development, and Test test environments from an icon link at the top of the page--a simple, but very useful improvment.

As we build integrations, to other systems, we have not a had a limitation on the files.com side. Every time we have been able to do exactly what we've needed... all the protocols were available. Automations made managing the files easy. Overall easy to use, available, well supported when issues arise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Files.com?

At this point, I cannot think of any downside to using Files.com. The platform has provided everything we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Files.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

The largest and most important problem that Files.com is solving for us is enabling integration between our many internal and external systems. We are connecting our PLM, ERP, external AR & AP services, and host of smaller integrations. Files.com provides a central place for exchanging data between these various systems.

What do you like best about Files.com?

After years of searching for a file distribution solution, or trying to invent our own, this solved all of our problems. The ability to distribute and sync files across many platforms has been the keystone to our operation. However someone wants to get a file, there is an easy way for them to get it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Files.com?

It really is hard to find something. If we do, we've reached out and the Files.com team has listened and can usually add the feature we need quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Files.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

We distribute media content to hundreds of clients. We needed something that is always up, available from anywhere, with no hassles. Files.com has made managing permissions and being able to make those quick changes a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Secure, easy to use and very reliable. Platform is has a simple web interface for users. You can setup file sharing with just a few mouse clicks. Our company uses this daily across mutliple departments, the only tickets I get for files.com is for access to use it. I am not sure how the good the customer support is becasue I have never had to use it, it just works like it should! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Files.com?

We found Files.com when we were asked by a couple clients to be able to pick-up files from us via FTP. We had been using FTP with our ERP (Sage X3) for years to connect to external systems, but never had the need to provide file sharing from our side. Within a couple days of contacting, we had our account and services provisioned and our client was picking up daily files by the end of the same week.

The CLI for Files.com has totally streamlined the process for sending/receiving files from our ERP to customers and a variety of connected systems (CRM, E-Commerce, Credit Card Processing, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Files.com?

So far we have not come across any dislikes, as the system works better than expected and modernizes our ability to share and exchange files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Files.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

Connecting Sage X3 via FTP was possible before Files.com, but it required creating batch files for each connection needed for specific needs. With the use of Files.com we were able to create a library of functions within Sage X3 to leverage the Files.com CLI, which has extended the functionality of our ERP with a few lines of code that can be re-used for multiple connections.

What do you like best about Files.com?

We were able to complete on-boarding and get our migration under way to Files.com with amazing support provided 100% of the way.

Files.com assigned us a very knowledgeable architect that made the entire process of on-boarding as easy as could be.

The attention, detail, and support through this our on-boarding process has been truly amazing. I really appreciated the help received for a truly smooth process as we transitioned to Files.com.

I would like to thank the engineer/engineers who implemented a new feature request for us and everyone else that was involved in making the very much needed functionality, a reality.

We look to be starting off a wonderful relationship with Files.com and everything looks to be panning out just as we have expected.

To anyone looking for a new highly functional, sleek, user friendly, MFT SaaS solution with loads of support and integrations, then look no further, Files.com has you covered.
