Today’s enterprise lives everywhere: files in SharePoint, reports in Google Drive, logs in S3, archives in Azure, invoices over SFTP, and legacy systems that still expect WebDAV or NAS shares. Partners, vendors, and customers each bring their own requirements.

In this hybrid reality, files constantly need to move—between clouds, across borders, into and out of partner ecosystems. Without a unifying approach, that motion turns into chaos: silos, version conflicts, brittle scripts, and compliance gaps.

Files.com changes that. With Server & Cloud File Sync, you can push, pull, or two-way synchronize files across 50+ systems—or even mount remote systems for real-time access—all governed by the same enterprise security and audit framework.

The Reality of Multi-Cloud File Flows

Modern enterprises don’t get to pick one storage system. Instead, they live in a patchwork:

• Cloud storage: Amazon S3 for archiving, Azure Blob for analytics, Wasabi for cost savings.
• Collaboration suites: SharePoint and OneDrive for internal work, Google Drive and Box for external sharing.
• Legacy protocols: FTP and SFTP that power vendor integrations; WebDAV that still underpins old applications.
• On-prem servers: NAS or file shares required by regulation or performance needs.
• Partner environments: Each with its own access model and expectations.

The result is fragmentation. Files are duplicated, delayed, or lost. Teams argue over which copy is “the real one.” IT spends weekends fixing broken scripts. Compliance officers pull their hair out during audits.

Files.com turns this fragmentation into a fabric—one fabric that keeps files synchronized across every cloud, partner, and process.

The Files.com Approach: Push, Pull, Sync, or Mount

Files.com offers multiple synchronization modes so you can fit the tool to the job:

• Push Sync
  Send files from Files.com to remote systems (SFTP, SharePoint, ERP, HRMS, etc.). Optionally delete after delivery.
• Pull Sync
  Retrieve files from vendor or partner systems into Files.com (S3, Azure, Google, FTP). Optionally clean up source files once received.
• Two-Way Sync
  Bi-directionally mirror changes so both systems stay current. Ideal for cross-region availability or co-managed partner workflows.
• Remote Mounts
  Provide a live, real-time view into a remote system without copying files. Access S3, Azure, or even on-prem servers as if they’re local.

Every mode inherits Files.com’s governance model—SSO, MFA, encryption, logging, and retention policies.

Supported Systems: The Broadest Connector Ecosystem

With Files.com, you’re not limited to one cloud or one protocol. Out of the box, you can sync with 50+ systems:

• Cloud Storage: Amazon S3, Azure Blob, Azure Files, Google Cloud Storage, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2, Linode, Filebase, Akamai, and more.
• Collaboration Suites: SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, Egnyte, Citrix ShareFile.
• Protocols: FTP, FTPS, SFTP, WebDAV.
• On-Prem Servers: Via the Files.com Agent, which makes local NAS or Windows/Linux servers behave like cloud targets.
• Other Files.com Accounts: Sync between instances for separation by department, geography, or business unit.

This means fewer exceptions, fewer custom scripts, and fewer “special case” workflows.

How It Works

🔄 Push, Pull, or Two-Way Sync
Define your mode. Files.com compares source and destination, detects changes, and transfers only what’s new.

🗂 Sync Jobs
Run as scheduled Jobs at intervals as frequent as every 1–5 minutes (Premier plans). Adjust cadence to balance immediacy with system load.

⚡ Efficiency & Reliability
Parallel transfers maximize throughput. Limit connections when remote servers are constrained. Optionally delete source files after transfer to avoid duplication.

📊 Governance Everywhere
Every sync inherits Files.com’s enterprise controls: encryption in transit and at rest, MFA/SSO/SCIM, RBAC, retention, and end-to-end audit logs.

Think of it as air traffic control for your files—every system stays on schedule, every transfer is tracked, and no file gets lost.

Why It Matters to the Business

• Eliminates Silos: Keep every cloud, SaaS, and on-prem system connected.
• Saves Time: No more chasing vendors for the “latest file.”
• Reduces Risk: Consistent governance across every sync job.
• Supports Hybrid Reality: Cloud-first? On-prem heavy? Mixed? Files.com unifies them.
• Future-Proofs Workflows: Add new clouds or migrate workloads without rewriting brittle scripts.

Sync isn’t just technical convenience—it’s business resilience.

Differentiators You Won’t Find Elsewhere

• All sync modes: Push, Pull, and Two-Way supported natively.
• Remote Mounts: Real-time access without duplication.
• Broadest ecosystem: 50+ systems and protocols supported directly.
• On-prem like cloud: Files.com Agent turns local servers into first-class sync targets.
• Governance by default: Every sync is encrypted, logged, and policy-controlled.
• No middleware required: Direct integrations, zero glue code.

Use Cases: Patterns We See Every Day

• Vendor File Mirroring
  Automatically pull daily manifests from a vendor’s SFTP into Files.com for processing.
• Partner Deliveries
  Push financial statements or project outputs directly to client FTP servers.
• Cross-Region Availability
  Two-way sync between U.S. and EU storage zones so local teams get faster downloads.
• ERP/WMS/HRMS Integration
  Push exports from Files.com workflows into ERP or HR systems for downstream automation.
• Device Data Intake
  Pull log files or images from FTP-enabled devices into Files.com, then route them to analytics pipelines.
• Multi-Cloud Archiving
  Push critical documents into S3 and Azure simultaneously for redundancy.

Industry Examples

• Healthcare: Sync patient records from on-prem NAS into Files.com, then push to Azure for analytics while keeping local storage compliant.
• Finance: Mirror trading reports into both S3 (for archival) and a partner’s SFTP (for regulatory reporting).
• Manufacturing: Pull CAD drawings from suppliers’ FTP sites, then share via branded portals with internal teams.
• Media: Two-way sync raw video files between global offices for faster collaboration.
• Government: Use Remote Mounts to access sensitive on-prem file servers without duplicating data into the cloud.

Bottom Line

Server & Cloud File Sync is how Files.com makes hybrid and multi-cloud environments work like one system. Push, pull, two-way sync, or live mount—plus 50+ supported systems—mean your files are always current, always accessible, and always governed.

No more silos. No more brittle scripts. No more chasing files.
Just one unified file fabric, kept in sync.
