Secure File Sharing Inside Google Drive

How Teams Control and Scale File Sharing in Google Environments

Requirements like granular permissions, auditability, expiration policies, and secure upload workflows often go beyond what native sharing links provide.

As a result, teams rely on a mix of manual processes, workarounds, or over-permissioned access that can introduce risk and limit visibility.

Files.com extends Google Drive by giving teams full control over how files are accessed, shared, and managed externally without.

Secure Google Drive Sharelinks for Internal and External Sharing

Take Control of Google Drive File Sharing

As file sharing scales across clients, vendors, and partners, requirements like granular permissions, secure uploads, and full visibility become essential. Files.com builds on top of Google Drive to provide a more structured and secure approach - giving teams control over how files are accessed, shared, and managed externally.

Secure file collections

Protect sensitive data with encryption at every stage, including support for GPG encryption on upload. This ensures that files remain secure both in transit and at rest, even when shared across external parties and systems.

Audit and visibility

Track every file interaction with detailed logs, including uploads, downloads, and user activity. This level of visibility supports compliance requirements, simplifies reporting, and helps teams quickly troubleshoot issues when they arise.

Data protection built in

Flexible collaboration across systems

Enable seamless collaboration between internal teams, external users, and automated systems - all within a single platform. Files.com bridges Google Drive with other tools and environments, so files can move and be accessed wherever work needs to happen.

Manage external sharing

Maintain full control over external file access with share link governance, enforcing consistent policies for permissions, expiration, and visibility. Reduce risk while enabling secure, scalable collaboration across teams and partners.

Connect Google Collaboration to Automated Workflows

Files.com acts as the file automation layer across Google Workspace, Google Cloud, and external systems - connecting collaboration, storage, and infrastructure into unified, event-driven workflows. Instead of relying on manual steps or disconnected tools, organizations can automate how files move, trigger actions across platforms, and ensure consistency at scale.

Google collaboration automation architecture

Google tools don't operate in isolation. Most organizations rely on a mix of cloud platforms, on-prem systems, and external partners to move files and power critical workflows.

Files.com connects your Google environment to everything else - enabling secure, reliable file movement across systems, protocols, and infrastructure without added complexity. Instead of building custom integrations or relying on fragmented tools, teams can centralize file transfer and orchestration in a single platform.

Whether you're integrating with legacy systems, exchanging files with partners, or building hybrid workflows, Files.com ensures your Google-based processes extend seamlessly across your entire ecosystem.

Works seamlessly across your environment:

Works with any protocol — Transfer files using SFTP, FTPS, AS2, HTTPS, or APIs without needing custom configurations
Connects to any partner — Standardize file exchange across vendors, customers, and third parties regardless of their systems
Supports hybrid environments — Bridge Google Cloud with on-prem infrastructure and external storage systems

Foresight Diagnostics Accelerates Faster Clinical Insights with Files.com

Foresight Diagnostics was migrating workloads from Google Cloud to AWS while some partners still relied on Google Cloud Storage buckets. With individual sequencing files exceeding 250 GB, their previous approach of granting direct bucket access wasn't cutting it:

No granular permissions or robust audit logs
Raw bucket paths and access keys exposed to external partners
Not workable for non-technical clinicians and investigators

Files.com provided cloud-native connectors to both GCS and AWS simultaneously, so Foresight could migrate at their own pace without disrupting partners. Everyone — regardless of which cloud they were on — saw a single unified interface, with no bucket paths or access keys required.

Director of IT Infrastructure

User management is easy and the site is reliable. We use [Files.com] as an alternative to Google Drive for companies that won't work with Drive or prefer secure FTP instead.

Greg W.

IT Support Supervisor

The integration with Google Drive has been excellent. The biggest use case is integrating with S3 as either a mount point or a sync point so that file gateways can present those files to systems that use SMB/CIFS shares on a Windows environment. It definitely reduced manual work.
