Cloud storage integrations let Files.com work with data that lives in your organization's or a partner's cloud account. You can keep that storage in place while making its files available to users, applications, and workflows through Files.com. This is useful when the cloud account already serves other systems or when your organization has chosen it for storage requirements or cost.

A Cloud Storage Remote Server holds the connection to the provider. Administrators need to identify the storage location, choose credentials with the required access, and understand how the provider handles file operations. Object storage and traditional file shares do not behave identically, so those differences matter when replacing, deleting, or organizing files.

A Remote Server Mount or a Sync is how you bring one of these providers into Files.com. A Mount turns a Files.com folder into a real-time window onto the bucket. An upload, a delete, or a rename a user performs in that folder passes straight through to the provider. A Sync instead pushes or pulls files between your selected source and destination. Use a Mount when users or applications need to work with the bucket's contents as though they already lived on Files.com.
