Folder Settings Within Remote Server Mount

Folder Settings work within Remote Server Mounts, except for Remote Mounts and File Expiration. Support for File Expiration on Remote Mounts is on the roadmap.

GPG on Remote Server Mounts uses store-and-forward transfer rather than streaming.

Webhooks, Automations, and Action/History Logging rely on the Files.com platform capturing information about operations performed. Files.com can only log actions and history for file operations performed through Files.com itself, and has no visibility into activity performed directly on the remote system.

Webhooks fire based on Action logging, so they do not fire when a file is changed on the remote server outside of Files.com. The same limitation applies to Automations triggered by actions.

To trigger Webhooks or Automations on new files, use a Sync to pull files into Files.com instead of a Remote Server Mount.

All other Folder Settings work as expected with Remote Server Mounts.

Deleting a folder that has folder settings configured for it will also delete its folder settings. When a folder on a Remote Server Mount is deleted outside of Files.com, Files.com does not immediately remove its Folder Settings. Instead, the deletion is deferred for up to 72 hours to allow time for the folder to reappear, protecting existing configuration if the removal was temporary or accidental.
