Linode Object Storage holds files reliably and works with S3 tools. But it can't let a partner log in over SFTP, hand someone a download link, or show you who did what. Files.com adds all of that on top of any Linode bucket, yours or a partner's, so you can send, receive, and share the files in it. You don't even have to be a Linode customer.

Real companies. Real file flows. Real results.
Akamai Linode Object Storage is built for big piles of files: media, AI and machine-learning datasets, backups, and long-term archives. It keeps copies across servers so the data stays available. Files.com turns that bucket into something your team and your partners can actually work in.
The bucket can be yours, or it can belong to a partner, a vendor, or a customer. Pull files out of someone else's bucket, drop files into theirs, or do both at once. Every action is controlled and logged on your side, so you always have a record of what moved.
Set who can reach what, share files safely, and automate the busywork on top of the Linode bucket. These are all the things Linode doesn't do on its own.
Move regulated and high-value files in and out of Linode over SFTP, FTPS, and FTP from one Files.com site. You get a record of every action, which is exactly what a compliance review asks for.
Run on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, or your own servers and still connect to a partner’s Linode bucket. All Files.com needs is the keys to the bucket. You never have to become a Linode customer.
Clean up or check data as it arrives, age old files out on a schedule, and route files the moment they land. This is the automation plain storage doesn't come with.
Linode's job is keeping the bytes safe. It has no way to manage the people and partners working with the files inside the bucket. Files.com adds that part: who can see what, a record of everything, and the same company logins your team already uses.
Hand each person or partner the exact folders they need, by team, project, or path. They see the folders you granted, and nothing else.
Every login, upload, download, and change is logged and exportable. That gives you the proof a SOC 2 review or a partner dispute asks for, which Linode doesn't give you on its own.
People sign in with your company login: SAML, LDAP, or Active Directory. When someone leaves, you cut their access to the bucket in one place, so a former teammate can’t still reach the files.
Files.com can encrypt files with GPG automatically as they move, so only your matching key can open the stored files. Nobody has to remember to do it.
Show the Linode bucket as a Files.com folder. Uploads, downloads, and deletes go straight to Linode with no copy and no delay. Use this when you want Files.com to be the place people go to reach the bucket.
Copy files between Files.com and a Linode bucket on a schedule, one direction or both. Good for archiving, aging old files out, or keeping a copy in two places.
Kick off a Files.com Automation when a file arrives, on a timer, or when a rule is met. The Linode bucket can be where files come from, where they go, or both. Files.com treats it exactly like its own storage.
Sensitive datasets arrive over SFTP or FTPS into Linode, automations clean or check them as they land, and partner feeds come in through drop-off folders with no login. It's all controlled and logged on your side.
Records, lab reports, or images stored in Linode are encrypted with GPG, locked down with your company logins, and aged out on a schedule. It all happens on its own.
Send finished files out as share links you can set to expire and limit. Scheduled workflows move old projects to cheaper cold storage, and Slack alerts fire when key files change.
You run on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, or your own servers. A partner drops data into their Linode bucket, or wants you to put files into it. Files.com syncs with that bucket on a schedule, pulling their files in or pushing yours out.

A UK-locked landing zone now handles machine traffic from FTP-only counterparties while MuleSoft continues to orchestrate the integrations behind it.
“Files.com's strengths are simplicity, ease of use, and the cloud connectors. We don't have to invent custom infrastructure for every partner.”
“Files.com is versatile — it can manage many different situations from a single platform. We've consolidated multiple tools onto it.”
“Files.com is robust and scales to a large enterprise. We get multiple files per minute, per second — and we're a 24/7 organization, so everything has to always be up.”
How Files.com connects to a Linode bucket, what your partners can reach through it, and what the integration costs.
Yes. Files.com connects to any Akamai Linode Object Storage bucket you hold credentials for, and can pull files from it or push files to it. The bucket can be your own, a partner's, a vendor's, or a customer's. It does not have to be yours.
No. Files.com connects to a Linode bucket with a bucket name, region, Access Key, and Secret Key, and never requires a Linode account of your own. Many customers run on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, or on-prem and use the Linode integration only to exchange files with a partner or vendor whose data lives in Akamai Linode Object Storage.
Yes. Files.com can route the Linode connection through your site's dedicated IP addresses, which simplifies firewall rules for counterparties. You can also set Data Regional Routing for the connection.
No. With a Remote Server Mount the bucket becomes a live folder, and operations pass through over HTTPS in real time with nothing copied onto Files.com. If you’d rather Files.com keep a copy, for backup, a faster tier, or as the primary store, a Sync does that to a destination you choose. Files.com has its own storage, so where the data lives is your decision.
Through Files.com, partners reach a mounted Linode bucket over SFTP, FTPS, FTP, and WebDAV, plus the web UI, Desktop App, and CLI. Linode Object Storage has no SFTP, FTPS, or FTP endpoint of its own.
Yes. Files.com encrypts files in the bucket with GPG so only your matching key can open them, restricts access through your company logins (SAML, LDAP, or Active Directory), and ages old files out automatically on a schedule.
Yes. A folder mounted to a Linode bucket works as a Files.com Automation source, destination, or both, the same as native Files.com storage.
No. The Akamai Linode Object Storage integration is included in every Files.com plan. The only Linode-side costs are storage and any data transfer your workload generates.
Partners deliver files over SFTP, FTPS, FTP, or a browser into scoped Files.com folders connected to the bucket. Each sender has its own credential and never holds Linode keys, and every arrival is logged.
Files.com file delivery monitoring knows each feed’s schedule and opens an incident the moment a deadline passes with no file. An upstream failure becomes a same-day alert instead of a gap discovered later.
