Sync
The Files.com Sync feature transfers files between two locations.
It can be used with folders in your Files.com site, remote servers, and child sites. A Sync transfers files from a source location to a destination location, with filters for including and excluding files, and customizable start times.
When used with a remote server, the remote server types that we support include Cloud Storage (Akamai Linode, Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, Azure Files, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2, Filebase, Google Cloud Storage, Wasabi), Content Collaboration (CCP) and Enterprise File Sync & Share (EFSS) solutions (Box, Dropbox, Egnyte, Google Drive, OneDrive, ShareFile, SharePoint), Managed File Transfer (MFT) systems (FTP, FTPS, SFTP, WebDAV), on-premise systems (Files.com Agent), and more.
A Sync can be used to send or collect data from any supported location to any other supported location, providing flexible file transfer workflows.
Example Use Cases: Collect
Use a Sync to collect files from a partner's remote SFTP server. The remote original files can be automatically deleted from the remote SFTP server after they've been successfully retrieved.
Use a Sync to collect files from an internal cloud storage (Amazon S3, Azure, Google) bucket so that they're available for external partners and users to download.
Example Use Cases: Send
Use a Sync to send files to a partner's remote FTP server. The local original copies of the files can be automatically deleted after they've been successfully delivered.
Use a Sync to push files to an internal system, such as an ERP, WMS, TMS, or HRMS for processing using SFTP.
Use a Sync to push files to an on-premise system, such as a Windows based file server, using the Files.com Agent.
