A Web File Manager That Handles Teams, Permissions, and SFTP Too
Files.com’s online file manager is what your team’s file server should be in 2026 — drag-and-drop, search, previews, share links, granular per-user permissions — all in a browser. Same files visible from SFTP and desktop drive mounts. Starting at $199/month.

A File Sharing Manager Built for the Team, Not Just the Laptop
Files.com’s web file manager is the closest thing to a modern file server: every team member sees the folders they should see, every share leaves an audit trail, every action is one click. Drag a file in from your desktop, drop it into the right folder, generate a one-time download link, send it — done. Without IT setting up a VPN or a SharePoint site.
- Drag-and-drop upload, multi-file select, folder upload, browser-based unzip
- Search across folders, file contents (OCR on PDFs), and metadata
- Image and document previews — view PDFs, Office docs, video, and audio inline
- One-click share links — password-protected, expiring, with optional upload back to the same folder
- Granular per-user permissions — read, write, modify, delete, share, send-only
- Native iOS, macOS, Windows, and Android apps share the same backend
Same files, three ways in. Web file manager, SFTP client, or desktop drive mount — all three see the same folders with the same permissions. No syncing required, no second copy of the data.
I love the easy-to-use interface of Files.com that doesn't require any coding or command line to set up connections. The initial setup was very straightforward, with no complicated setup process. It makes automated file transfers and logging quick and effortless.
