Third-Party Client Apps

Third-party clients connect to Files.com through its APIs or supported file-transfer protocols. They fit workflows that already depend on a particular backup tool, cloud-storage utility, or protocol client. Keeping an existing tool can let your team use Files.com without replacing the rest of that workflow.

Compatibility depends on the connection the tool actually supports. A familiar file-copy command does not necessarily connect to Files.com directly: Rsync, for example, requires a different approach, while Rclone has a native Files.com backend. Check the client's supported connection method before configuring credentials or planning a migration.

Use this guidance when connecting an existing tool or understanding how its behavior differs from a Files.com application. If you are choosing a tool for a new transfer workflow, start with Preferred Apps for File Transfer.
