IT teams stop losing hours to patching servers and chasing failed transfers, while business users get a clean interface that works for technical and non-technical teams alike. Files.com consolidates every file flow into a single platform with centralized access controls, policy enforcement, and complete audit visibility. It presents every storage system (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, on-premises NAS, and 50+ other connectors) as one governed namespace, so multiple clouds and on-prem storage work as one. Automate mission-critical flows with no-code workflows, or build against a full REST API, SDKs, and a Terraform provider. Files.com speaks SFTP, FTPS, FTP, WebDAV, and AS2, exposes an S3-compatible endpoint, and supports OpenPGP and GPG, connecting modern apps, multiple clouds, and legacy partners without middleware. AES-256 encryption in transit and at rest, fine-grained role-based access, SSO, SCIM, and MFA, and immutable audit trails support SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, GDPR, and ITAR requirements. Built cloud-native with elastic scaling, there are no servers to patch or manage. Files.com is ranked #1 for Managed File Transfer in Gartner Peer Insights and scores #1 across every attribute on G2's MFT grid. More than 4,000 organizations trust it, including Equifax, Rag & Bone, Cognizant, and Michelin, with over 15 years of operation and zero breaches. Go live fast with expert-led onboarding included.
