Use Google Cloud Pub/Sub with Files.com

You can now send file events from your Files.com site directly to Google Cloud Pub/Sub. Pub/Sub integrates with various Google Cloud services like BigQuery, Dataflow, and Cloud Storage, making it easy to build end-to-end data pipelines. For example, when a new file is uploaded to a folder, a Pub/Sub message can instantly trigger other services or applications to process that file by automatically loading the data into a database, data warehouse, or data lake.

Other Minor Updates

We've also made changes to improve how you work with Remote Servers, Automations, the Desktop Application, and the Files.com API.

Re-Authenticate to Remote Servers

Site Administrators have a new option to re-start OAuth authentication for Remote Servers. This is helpful when you need to change the account associated with the connection, or to replace expiring tokens.

Learn more about Re-authenticating Remote Servers.

Holiday Schedules for Automations

Automations that operate on custom schedules can be configured with a holiday region. Doing so prevents the Automation from running on a public holiday in the selected region. Skipping an Automation on a public holiday helps to avoid undetected issues or system failures that could disrupt operations.

Learn more about Custom Scheduled Triggers for Automations.

Desktop App Deployment with Microsoft Intune

For organizations using Microsoft Endpoint Manager or Microsoft Intune to manage devices, we have made it simpler to deploy the Files.com Desktop App. Our Intune binary format installer is designed for use with the Windows app (Win32) deployment model within Intune.

Registration Information in Share Link Access Logs Export

The Share Link Access Logs export is updated to include the provided ID, email, name and IP address for the registration associated with each action. This makes it easy for users to monitor who is accessing their share links.

Learn more about Monitoring Visitor Activity in Share Links.

More Logging for Settings Changes

Changes to your SSO Providers or to User Lifecycle Rules are now captured within Setting Changes Logs. The Settings Changes Logs provide a history of configuration changes that impact how your site works, making them invaluable as a troubleshooting aid and audit trail.

Updates to APIs and SDKs

Listing the contents of a folder path can now be filtered to return only folders or only files. This is available within the web interface, as well as through all of the Files.com SDKs.

The Java SDK has been updated, starting with version v1.6.29, to better handle destination folder names that contain spaces.

The GPG Key object is updated with new properties for public_key_md5 and private_key_md5, which are automatically populated with the MD5 fingerprints of the stored key. Previously, these fingerprints were the public_key and private_key properties of a returned GPG Key object. If your custom code relies on these fields, test your code thoroughly when updating from a lower version than Ruby SDK v1.1.315, Java SDK v1.6.45, PHP SDK v2.0.230, .NET SDK v1.4.213, GO SDK v3.2.204, Javascript v1.2.291, or Python v1.6.48.

The Files.com MCP Server SDK has been updated to fix a problem running some tools. We recommend upgrading to version v1.0.17 or higher.

Various log endpoints have been updated to use consistent filtering options that match other endpoints. You can filter all of the following log files by created_at date: API Request Log, Automation Log, Email Log, ExaVault API Request Log, File Migration Log, FTP Action Log, Outbound Connection Log, Public Hosting Request Log, SFTP Action Log, and Sync Log.

Basic registration information, such as the ID, email, name and IP address for the registration has been added to Share Link Bundle Actions object, making this information available with one request using any of our SDKs, Terraform, CLI, Boomi or Mulesoft.
