Files.com Named the #1 Easiest-to-Use Managed File Transfer Platform by G2
July 24, 2025We’re proud to announce that Files.com has been named the #1 easiest-to-use Managed File Transfer platform by G2, the world’s largest and most trusted software marketplace. This recognition means a lot to us - because it comes directly from the people who matter most: our users.
Simplicity That Doesn’t Sacrifice Power
Files.com was built to make automated file transfers secure, simple, and accessible. As a cloud-native MFT platform, we provide organizations with a secure environment to store, transfer, and automate file workflows, without the traditional complexity that bogs down other solutions.
While many MFT tools require deep technical knowledge to operate, Files.com strikes a unique balance. Our users consistently praise the platform for its' incredibly intuitive interface and fast setup process, even for advanced protocols like SFTP.
In fact, 97% of G2 reviewers specifically called out how easy it is to create SFTP folders and manage permissions (an area typically known for being time-consuming and difficult).
Empowering Non-Technical Teams
What truly sets Files.com apart is its accessibility for non-technical users. Across the board, reviews point to a seamless experience that allows cross-functional teams to manage folders, set permissions, and handle file governance without IT intervention.
By removing technical barriers, organizations can:
- Speed up onboarding and adoption
- Reduce reliance on overburdened IT teams
- Strengthen security and compliance through consistent file access controls
Designed for Speed and Efficiency
G2 reviewers praised Files.com for making file management feel almost effortless. Setting up folders and assigning access takes just a few clicks, and once configured, the environment stays low-maintenance, freeing teams to focus on their work, not the tooling behind it.
Users also love our automation capabilities: with rule-based workflows, Files.com customers can trigger transfers, move files, or organize data automatically. This kind of efficiency helps eliminate manual errors and supports mission-critical operations where timing and reliability are essential.
Built for Scalability, Backed by Flexibility
For teams with more advanced or specialized needs, Files.com offers powerful programmatic access via API. This allows developers to build custom integrations, manage edge-case scenarios, and scale operations—all within the same secure, centralized platform.
Even as we emphasize ease of use, we never compromise on flexibility or performance. That’s why technical and non-technical users alike trust Files.com to move their most sensitive data.
How is This Calculated?
G2’s Ease of Use index is based on real user reviews and a patent-pending algorithm that evaluates key factors like:
- Ease of Use
- Ease of Admin
- How well the product meets requirements
- User adoption rates
To qualify, a category must include 150+ reviews and at least six products with enough data on usability, making this a meaningful, competitive benchmark.
Why Being Recognized Matters
Being named G2’s #1 easiest-to-use MFT platform is more than just an honor; it’s a validation of our mission to make managed file transfers simple, scalable, and stress-free for everyone.
