One File-Transfer Platform — Every Protocol Your Partners Actually Use

“File transfer service” used to mean “we have an FTP server.” Modern partner exchange involves SFTP for new partners, FTPS for legacy ones, AS2 for EDI, HTTPS for upload forms, and a REST API for everything you automate. Files.com runs all of those on one backend — and an audit log that proves every transfer happened.

  • SFTP, FTPS, FTP, AS2, WebDAV, and HTTPS upload forms on one managed backend
  • Full REST API with SDKs in 8 languages (Python, Java, Go, Ruby, JavaScript, PHP, C#, Swift)
  • Built-in automation engine — trigger on file arrival, schedule, webhook, partner upload
  • Per-user permissions, SSH-key auth, MFA, SSO with SAML / SCIM, IP allowlisting
  • Real-time transfer logging with full audit trail — SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS
  • 99.9% uptime, AES-256 encryption, modern cipher suites by default

Bring your own storage, or use ours. Files.com is also a storage-front: connect to your S3 bucket, Azure Blob, GCS, SharePoint, on-prem NAS — files stay where you put them, the platform brokers the protocol layer.

The biggest challenge that Files.com helps us solve is keeping our file transfers secure. We rely most on the ability to keep our data encrypted while it’s stored at rest as well as in transmitting the data.

Common Questions

Can't find what you're looking for? Reach out — every support request lands with an engineer.

Historically “file transfer service” meant an FTP server you rented; “MFT” meant a six-figure enterprise platform from IBM Sterling, GoAnywhere, MOVEit, or Axway. Files.com is the modern category convergence: every MFT capability (every protocol, automation, audit, AS2 partner messaging, SOC 2 / HIPAA-BAA, SSO + MFA) on a self-serve cloud platform priced from $199/month. The legacy MFT vendors are still selling 2010 architectures; Files.com is the cloud-native answer.

Yes. AS2 partner messaging is included on every plan — MDN receipts, certificate management, automated retries, an audit log every EDI auditor will recognize. The same backend also runs SFTP, FTPS, FTP, WebDAV, and HTTPS uploads, so trading partners on any protocol can hit the same site.

Yes. Files.com’s automation engine can route files between any combination of supported storage backends — S3, Azure Blob, GCS, SharePoint, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, Wasabi, Backblaze, and more — with format conversion, encryption, and audit logging inline. For one-time large migrations, Files.com Mover (a separate Files.com product) is purpose-built for that workload.

Files.com is the cloud-native File Orchestration Platform used by 4,000+ organizations for mission-critical file operations. One platform replaces your SFTP server, file-sharing tools, automation scripts, job scheduler, and desktop file server.

Files.com connects natively to 50+ platforms, including AWS S3, Azure Blob, Google Cloud Storage, SharePoint, and Dropbox. Bring your own storage, use ours, or both — Files.com handles protocol translation automatically, so your partners and systems connect however they already work.

Files.com processes over 1 billion file transfers per year. The Files.com Agent uses custom UDP-based acceleration technology to transfer large files at maximum speed regardless of distance or network conditions. The platform auto-scales to handle volume spikes without any intervention.

Files.com provisions a working SFTP endpoint in about 10 minutes from sign-up — configure your first endpoint or automation right in the browser. Every plan also includes a working session with an Onboarding engineer for migration planning, go-live support, and workflow optimization at no extra cost; Enterprise customers get a bespoke onboarding with a dedicated engineer assigned to the rollout.

Plans start at $199/month. All platform capabilities are included in every plan — SFTP/FTP server, automation, file sharing, desktop drive, job scheduling, fast file transfer, data transformation, and document collaboration. Pricing scales with usage. No long-term contracts required.

Files.com encrypts all data with AES-256 at rest and in transit (TLS 1.2/1.3), with zero data breaches in 15 years across billions of file transfers. The platform is continuously tested through a public bug bounty running since 2016, and offers seven global data regions so you control where your data lives — bring your own storage or use ours.

Files.com is SOC 2 Type II certified and supports HIPAA, GDPR, ITAR, and PCI DSS Level 2 compliance. Multiple global data regions, including EU-only options, plus complete audit trails and data-residency controls are built in.

Every Files.com customer gets engineering-level support — no Level 1 scripts, no chatbots — with sub-1-hour response times. Every plan includes a working session with an Onboarding engineer for migration planning, go-live support, and workflow optimization. Enterprise customers get a bespoke onboarding with a dedicated engineer, plus custom SLAs and dedicated account management.
