Move to Files.com Cloud.
Files.com offers a managed migration path from the ExaVault on-premise appliance to Files.com Cloud. We’ve run this migration for many on-premise customers and would like to include you. The cloud platform covers everything the appliance does and adds the features the appliance never will — see the side-by-side comparison for the full picture.
Why customers move.
The cloud platform covers everything ExaVault does and adds many features the appliance doesn’t have. The sections below are the main reasons customers move.
Security and compliance
Files.com supports SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, GDPR, and other compliance frameworks out of the box. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
Security patching is handled by Files.com — you don’t schedule, apply, or verify updates on an appliance anymore.
Files.com offers regional data residency across seven global regions to meet specific compliance and regulatory requirements.
Performance and scalability
Files.com runs on a globally distributed cloud platform with edge locations for faster transfers worldwide.
Storage capacity is unlimited and expands on demand. No hardware to purchase or provision.
Infrastructure runs across multiple availability zones with an uptime SLA for customers on Premier and Enterprise plans.
File sharing
Files.com adds sharing options the appliance doesn’t have: expiring links, automated email notifications, and granular permissions.
Provide secure upload locations, publish assets for public download, or create a fully interactive data room. Co-author and collaborate on standard business files with Microsoft Office 365 or the Files.com Editor.
Cloud and on-premise integrations
Files.com integrates directly with public and private cloud storage — Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, Azure Files, Google Cloud Storage, and other cloud storage providers.
Sync-and-share providers too: Box, Dropbox, SharePoint, and more. The Files.com On-Premise Agent connects legacy on-premise systems and private cloud storage back to the platform.
Applications
Files.com ships a web interface for administrators and a file manager for end users.
The desktop application handles fast file transfers and drive mapping, so cloud files behave like local files.
iOS and Android applications cover file access, sharing, and management on mobile.
The CLI handles site management from the command line and is built for scripting and automation.
Workflows and automation
Files.com supports automation rules that replace manual file-handling work. Deliver files to partner SFTP servers through Remote Server Mounts without installing anything on the remote side.
Remote Server Syncs move content between connected services on a schedule, replacing batch scripts that IT teams otherwise maintain. Files.com Automations perform file management tasks and integrate with external APIs.
Webhooks notify other services of important events so you can trigger downstream processes in real time. All automated activity is logged and traceable.
Developer tools
Maintained SDKs in PHP, Python, Java, JavaScript, Go, Ruby, and .NET — backed by developer documentation with tutorials, code examples, and implementation patterns.
The Files.com MCP (Model Context Protocol) server provides direct integration with AI tools for automated file processing, content analysis, and AI-driven workflow automation.
