How Files.com Works

From the systems you already run to the partners you exchange with, Files.com moves every file on one platform.

Connect Everything

Plug in the clouds, servers, on-premise storage, and partners you already use. 50+ native integrations, every protocol, no migration.

See Integrations

Automate Every Transfer

Build workflows that fire on a schedule or the moment a file arrives — move, convert, route, and notify, with retries and alerts. No scripts to babysit.

See Automations

Share With Anyone

Send branded share links, collect files through upload inboxes, and let people preview or edit documents in the browser. Partners and non-technical teammates exchange files without an account or a VPN, under the same permissions and logging as everything else.

See File Sharing

Govern And Prove It

Set who can touch what, encrypt in transit and at rest, and keep a complete record of every file that moves — the kind you can hand an auditor.

File Orchestration Explained In 5 Minutes

The File Orchestration Platform You Didn’t Know You Needed

Most teams come to Files.com for one of these six. Then they realize it does the other five too — all on one platform, starting at $199/month.

Every capability runs on one platform — SOC 2 Type II certified, HIPAA BAA available, with a complete audit trail on every action.

The Modern Alternative To Legacy MFT

Legacy MFT was built for on-premise servers. Files.com was built for the cloud, and the difference shows where it matters most.

Platform & Integrations

Files.com is a cloud-native file orchestration platform that automates and secures the file transfers a business depends on. It replaces managed file transfer (MFT) suites, SFTP servers, aging file servers, and custom scripts with one platform — connecting 50+ cloud and on-premise systems, automating every transfer, and keeping a complete audit trail. See what the platform replaces.

Files.com supports SFTP, FTPS, FTP, WebDAV, AS2, and HTTPS, plus a full REST API, so partners connect however they already work. Every protocol runs on the same platform with shared permissions, automation, and audit logging; AS2 partner exchange is included on the Power and Enterprise tiers. See protocol support.

Yes. Files.com connects natively to AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage, SharePoint, Box, and 50+ other systems, and it exchanges files with business platforms like Workday and NetSuite over SFTP. It also speaks SFTP, FTPS, and a REST API for anything custom, so every transfer runs from one place. Browse all integrations.

Yes. Files.com mounts your existing AWS S3, Azure Blob, Google Cloud Storage, or on-premise NAS as a connected location and works with the files in place — no migration required. Your data stays in your own bucket, with Files.com’s automation, permissions, and audit layer on top. See how file orchestration works.

Security & Compliance

Files.com encrypts every file with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.2/1.3 in transit, and has operated for 15+ years with zero breaches. You also get role-based access controls, SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, MFA, immutable audit logs, and annual third-party penetration testing. See our security posture.

Yes. Files.com is independently audited to SOC 2 Type II, is FedRAMP Certified under FedRAMP 20x at Class A, and offers a signed HIPAA BAA and a GDPR DPA. It also meets PCI DSS and ITAR requirements and supports EU and regional data residency, with a complete audit trail that makes proving compliance straightforward. See compliance details.

Files.com lets you choose the region where your data is stored and processed, across eight storage and compute zones worldwide. You meet GDPR and data-residency requirements, and transfers stay fast for users in those regions. See data residency.

Switching To Files.com

Files.com can do either. It fully replaces legacy MFT tools like IBM Sterling, MOVEit, GoAnywhere, and Axway, and it can also run alongside your existing SFTP servers and cloud storage during a phased rollout. Most teams consolidate onto Files.com over time rather than cutting everything over in one day. See how Files.com replaces MFT.

Migrating to Files.com is low-risk because it connects to your existing storage and partners without moving your data first. A dedicated Customer Engineer maps your current transfers, rebuilds them as automated workflows, and runs both systems in parallel until cutover — most teams are live within five business days. See the onboarding process.

Files.com automates file transfers with a no-code workflow builder: trigger on a schedule or the moment a file arrives, then move, copy, convert, route, encrypt, and notify, with retries and alerts built in. For teams that prefer code, the same actions are available through the REST API, CLI, SDKs, and a Terraform provider. See automation.

Pricing & Getting Started

Files.com offers three plans: Starter, Power, and Enterprise. Starter and Power are flat-rate, sign-up-and-go plans starting at $199/month; Enterprise is custom-quoted to your workload. See pricing.
