Configuration As Code, Not Clicks
Define the site — users, folders, permissions, automations, integrations — in HCL for predictable, repeatable deployments instead of manual setup that drifts between environments.
Stop Click-Configuring Your Site
Files.com publishes an official, open-source Terraform provider on the HashiCorp Terraform Registry. Because Files.com is API-first — every operation lives in the REST API, with no UI-only side channel — the provider can manage nearly every aspect of the platform as code: users, groups and permissions, folders, remote-server mounts, automations, behaviors, notifications, and authentication methods.
Manage Files.com the way your team already manages everything else — version-controlled code, reviewed in pull requests, deployed consistently across dev, staging, and prod, with a full git history of every change. Declare the desired state of your site in HCL, run terraform apply, and the provider reconciles the live site to match.
Why Infrastructure As Code For Files.com
The same discipline you bring to cloud infrastructure, applied to the configuration of your file transfer platform.
Version Control And Change Review
Files.com configuration lives in git next to the rest of your infrastructure, so every change is diffable, reviewable, and revertible. Who changed what, when, and why is answered by the commit history.
Repeatable Provisioning At Scale
Stand up a new environment, onboard a team, or build a new client’s folder structure and automations by applying a module — no hand-configuration.
Compliance And Auditability
Code-based configuration plus the Files.com audit log gives full visibility into the site’s state and its change history — the trail a SOC 2 review or an auditor wants.
API-First Is The Enabler
With 100% API coverage and no UI-only operation, the provider can manage essentially the whole site — there’s no setting you can click in the console but can’t codify.
What Teams Build With It
Multi-Environment Parity
One module deployed to dev, staging, and prod so the three sites stay identical.
Onboard A Team Or Client By terraform apply
Provision the folder tree, groups, permissions, and automations for a new tenant from code.
GitOps For File Infrastructure
Files.com configuration reviewed in pull requests and deployed by CI alongside the rest of the stack.
Drift Control
terraform plan surfaces any out-of-band manual change against the declared state.
How It Works
Add the provider, supply a Files.com API key, and declare your resources. The provider uses declarative HCL and the standard Terraform workflow — terraform plan and terraform apply — the same workflow you use to manage cloud infrastructure. It manages nearly the whole site: users, groups, permissions, folders, remote servers (the S3, Azure, GCS, and other mounts), automations, behaviors, notifications, and authentication methods including SAML.
Code-based management rides on the same REST API as the SDKs and CLI — it is part of the API-first surface, not a gated add-on. Provider documentation lives on the Terraform Registry and at files.com/docs.
