Use Files.com with Amazon S3

Amazon S3 with Files.com

Amazon S3 is world-class cloud storage – secure, durable, and infinitely scalable. But it's not built for collaboration, automation, or day-to-day workflows.

That’s where Files.com steps in.
Our native integration transforms your S3 bucket into a fully featured, enterprise-ready workspace – without moving data or writing custom code.

Unified Access Across All Channels

Once connected, your S3 storage becomes accessible through the Files.com platform – anywhere, anytime, using the tools you already rely on.

Browse via web interface.
Automate via CLI.
Connect via protocols like SFTP, WebDAV, or AS2.
Work across desktop, mobile, and legacy systems –  all with secure, encrypted access.

Instant access. Real-time interaction. One unified experience.

Whether you mount your bucket for live access or set up scheduled syncs to mirror and migrate content, Files.com gives you complete control over how your teams work with S3.

Security That Goes Beyond IAM

Permissions in Amazon S3 are powerful – but not always intuitive.

Files.com simplifies control with role-based access, folder-level permissions, audit logging, and integrations with your existing identity providers (SSO, LDAP, SAML, Active Directory). Now you can manage who sees what, how, and when – with no guesswork.

You can also encrypt files using GPG, automate encryption/decryption in workflows, and ensure full compliance with your organization's data policies.

Automate Everything (Yes, Everything)

No more manual transfers. No more cobbled-together scripts.

With Files.com, you can:

  • Automatically sync files between S3 and other storage locations
  • Trigger actions on file upload or movement
  • Collect external files with secure Inboxes
  • Share branded links with expiration and access controls
  • Send notifications via Slack, webhooks, or Amazon SNS

Need deeper integrations? Files.com connects easily to tools like Zapier, Boomi, and Workato – so your files can move as fast as your business.

Built for Global Scale

Wherever your data lives, Files.com connects to it.

Amazon S3 Storage can be connected as a Remote Server Mount, making your S3 storage content available in real time, or connected as a Remote Server Sync, allowing you to push, pull, or sync files between S3 storage and other Files.com storage locations.

Our S3 integration supports AWS regions all over the globe, allowing you to maintain data sovereignty, minimize latency, and keep workflows local to your users. All communication happens over HTTPS using Amazon’s native APIs, ensuring full encryption and reliable performance.

Whether you’re syncing buckets across continents or pushing files from Tokyo to Toronto, Files.com makes it seamless.

No Extra Cost, No Add-Ons

The Files.com + S3 integration is fully built in – maintained and supported by our engineering team, and included with every Power plan and above.

There’s nothing to install, no connector to buy, and no extra support tier required.

S3 Is Your Foundation. Files.com Is the Missing Layer.

Amazon S3 provides the infrastructure. Files.com provides the experience – modernizing file access, streamlining workflows, and unlocking secure collaboration at scale.
