Looking for a solution to upload email attachments to Files.com, or upload to any integrated cloud storage?

Imagine that your CRM application, for example Salesforce, is sending you daily reports as email attachments. You want to store or archive those attachments in cloud storage or you want to transfer or send those attachments to a different system. Doing it manually is not a fun process. It takes resources and time and often there is a chance of data loss. We’ve got a solution for this.

Files.com introduces an easy and secure way to upload files to Files.com, including to a remote server connected through our platform. Allow your users, applications, or systems to send files as attachments to an email address and those attachments can be uploaded to any Files.com folder.

Enable an inbound email address for any folder, or inbox, to accept incoming email attachments and upload them. Your received attachments are delivered as uploaded files into the selected folder.  Your folder’s inbound email address can be used in the To, Cc or Bcc fields in emails generated by:

Learn more on how you can generate an inbound email address for your folder or inbox.

As a business, have you ever wondered how your website visitors or customers could securely send files to your storage platform without logging in anywhere? In healthcare you may need visitors to send files to an email address such as claims@mycompany.com, then you have to manually parse, classify, and upload those files to your storage platform. Your inbox could fill faster than you can empty it, causing processing delays and requiring extra manual effort.

To solve this, create an inbound email address for your folder at Files.com and create a forwarding rule on your organization's email server to forward claims@mycompany.com to your Files.com folder’s email address. Retain your email address claims@mycompany.com and continue to use it on your website and your email signature. Ask your customers to upload files by sending you attachments to that email address. Simple and secure

Files.com can detect attachments and store them to Files.com, or to any integrated remote server such as Amazon AWS, Azure Files, Google Cloud, SharePoint, OneDrive, Box, Dropbox, etc. Once files are stored, they can be shared with a link, or they can be transferred to a different system using FTP, SFTP or AS2 protocols. On top of that, you can still apply your favorite Folder settings such as File expiration, Limit uploads to certain extensions, and so on. You can also create workflows to further route your files to human users or automated systems.

The Reasons Why You will Love Upload Files Via Email:

No need to login, or use web applications, to upload files

Files can be uploaded securely to our platform

Data governance policies like retention, exclusions, and limits can still be applied to uploaded files

Files can be sent using any email client, such as Gmail, Office 365, Outlook, or from any device that can send email attachments.

Files can be sent to Files.com, or to any integrated remote storage servers such as Amazon S3, Azure Files or Blob storage, Google Cloud, SharePoint, OneDrive, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, BackBlaze B2, Wasabi, etc.

You can also save costs for your email storage by storing attachments in Files.com instead.

You can add an inbound email address to your exiting inbox. No need to create a new inbox in order to receive files to an existing web inbox folder.

You can add the Files.com folder’s inbound email address in the To, Cc or Bcc fields of any email chain to collect the attachments in your folder automatically.

You, or your vendor/partner, can receive files in a folder from scanners, CCTV, or x-ray machines.

Azure Files Integration Now Available on Files.com 

Microsoft’s Azure Files provides a great way to implement legacy Network Shares and File Shares in the cloud.  

Users and systems requiring access to Shares using the SMB and NFS protocols can continue to access their files and folders the same way they’ve always used. With Microsoft’s Azure Files, the files and folders are now stored in the Azure Cloud rather than on the local network or the corporate data center.  

However, the SMB and NFS protocols impose limits and restrictions on access. Users and systems are typically limited to corporate machines that must be on the corporate network, which can prohibit the ability to work remotely or the ability of external partners to access files or folders securely.  

Files.com adds new capabilities, access options, and security options to your Azure Files shares, providing you with new ways to automate your business processes and extend access and integration options to your partners and customers.
