Box holds your files well. It just can't let a partner log in over SFTP, and when the Box belongs to a client, a bank, or an investor, you have no record of the exchange at all. Files.com adds both on top of any Box account: partners send, receive, and share over the connections they already run, and every action is logged on your side. You don't have to use Box yourself to trade files with someone who does.

Real companies. Real file flows. Real results.
Box is built for people working with documents inside one company. It was never built for partner logins over SFTP, automated file routing, or sending files out with a full record of who got what. Files.com mounts or syncs against any Box you can reach and adds that layer on top, without changing how anyone uses Box.
The Box account can be your own, or it can belong to a client, a bank, an investor, or a partner who runs on Box and expects you to deliver through it. Pull files out of a Box someone else owns, drop files into theirs, or do both at once. It’s all controlled and logged on your side, so you keep a record of every file you trade even when the Box isn’t yours.
Files.com mounts a Box folder and adds SFTP, FTPS, FTP, and WebDAV access on top of it. Those are the ways partners and apps actually connect, so you stop turning down a partner who only speaks SFTP. They reach the files in Box without ever touching Box itself.
Box’s API names every file by a long ID code instead of by its path, so even grabbing /Clients/Acme/invoice.pdf turns into a chain of lookups. Files.com puts a normal path-based API, SDKs, and CLI in front of Box and does that translation for you, so your code just asks for files by their folder and name.
Mount the folder and Files.com passes every action through to Box in real time. There is no second copy and no migration, so the team that lives in Box keeps working exactly as before. When the Box belongs to someone else, a sync moves only the files the job needs, in the direction you pick.
Files.com shows Box right next to SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, S3, Azure Blob, and your own servers in one place, so a single job can read from Box and write to a partner’s SFTP server without leaving Files.com.
When a file lands in the mounted Box folder, Files.com can email the right people, post to Slack or Teams, fire a webhook, or run a rule that moves, encrypts, or routes it. All of it is configured in Files.com, with nothing new for your team to host or babysit.
Files.com adds a layer of control over Box content without touching Box’s own settings: who can see what, a record of everything that happens, and the same company logins your team already uses.
Hand each person, partner, or app the exact folders they need and nothing else, with nine levels of permission per user or group.
Every login, upload, download, and permission change that moves through Files.com against Box content is logged in one place and can be exported to your security tools. When the auditor asks who touched a file, you have the answer.
People sign in with your company login: Okta, Entra ID, Active Directory, Google, JumpCloud, OneLogin, Auth0, Duo, or any SAML provider. Two-factor is enforced right down to the SFTP, FTPS, and WebDAV connections. When someone leaves, you cut their Box access in one place, so a former employee can’t keep reaching files you forgot to lock down.
Files.com can apply PGP encryption and decryption automatically as files move, so sensitive data is protected before it lands. There is no manual step, no separate tool, and nobody has to remember to do it.
Mount a Box folder as a Files.com folder. Every action passes straight through to Box in real time, with nothing copied. Best when Files.com is the live way people and apps reach Box content.
Copy files on a schedule between Files.com and Box, in either direction, so the files end up in both places. Best for backups, archives, staged ingest, and the case where you only need to move part of someone else’s Box.
Run a rule when a file arrives, on a schedule, or when a condition is met, with the Box mount as the source, the destination, or both. Files.com treats a mounted Box folder exactly like its own storage.
Separately, you can let people sign in to Files.com with their Box login (SSO). This is its own setting, independent of the file connection.
A partner uploads to your Files.com site over SFTP. The file lands in the mounted Box folder, Files.com sends an alert, and a rule routes it where it needs to go. The partner never gets a Box account.
An internal app reads and writes Box content through the Files.com API, CLI, FTP, or SFTP, addressing files by normal folder and name. You skip writing a direct Box integration, so the work that was a multi-week project ships in an afternoon.
Make a share link to a folder in Box, branded with your own domain. Recipients preview or download, every access is logged, and the files never leave Box.
Your team runs on SharePoint, Google Drive, S3, or your own servers, but a client, bank, or investor sends documents through their Box. Files.com syncs against that Box on a schedule to pull their files in or push yours out, and nobody on your team ever works in Box.
Take in files from outside people straight into a Box folder, with no Box account needed on their end, and every upload is logged.

“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 Box account, whether it’s yours or a partner’s, what it costs, and what the integration actually does.
Yes. Files.com connects to any Box account you have permission to reach, whether it's your own, a client's, a bank's, or a partner's, and can pull files from it or push files to it. Your team doesn't need to use Box to trade files with someone who does.
No. You don’t need a Box subscription of your own to use the Files.com Box integration. You connect with login credentials to the Box account you’re trading with. Plenty of Files.com customers run on SharePoint, Google Drive, S3, or their own servers and use the integration only because a partner runs on Box.
Files.com does not copy files out of Box by default. With a Box mount, the files stay in Box and Files.com passes every action through in real time. If you'd rather Files.com keep a copy, such as a backup, an archive, or a working copy off Box, a sync does that, to wherever you choose. Files.com has its own storage, and where your files live is up to you.
Yes. Files.com mounts a Box folder and serves it over SFTP, FTPS, FTP, and WebDAV from one place, so partners and apps that only speak those protocols send and receive files without a Box account. Box has no SFTP server of its own, and through Files.com the folder gets one.
Files.com gives you a path-based API, SDKs, and CLI over mounted Box content, so code reads and writes by folder and filename instead of Box's ID codes. Box's API names every file by an ID code, which turns grabbing a file by path into a chain of lookups. Files.com does that translation underneath.
Yes. Files.com connects as many Box accounts as you need, each with its own login, so one site can trade files with several Box organizations at once.
Yes. You can set up Box as a single sign-on (SSO) login provider for Files.com. That’s a separate setting from the file connection and works on its own.
Every Files.com plan includes the Box integration at no extra charge, on Starter, Power, and Enterprise. It is maintained by the Files.com team. See pricing for plan details.
Yes. Files.com Automations route, rename, encrypt, and deliver files in connected Box folders the same as any other folder. A partner upload can land in Box, and a Box file can flow out to a counterparty, all configured rather than coded.
A Files.com Remote Server Mount is the right choice when Box stays the working surface: the Box folders appear as live Files.com folders and nothing is copied. A scheduled Sync copies files on an interval instead, which fits backups, migrations, and batch handoffs.
Yes. Files.com permissions, retention rules, PGP folder settings, and the audit log all apply to connected Box folders, so the exchange around Box gets a record and a control set of its own.
