Dropbox stores and shares files well. It just can't let a partner log in over SFTP, route a file to another system when it lands, or keep the kind of record an auditor asks for. Files.com adds all of that on top of any Dropbox, whether it's your own or a partner's, client's, or investor's. People can send, receive, and share the files in it, with a full record of every action. You don't have to use Dropbox yourself to trade files with someone who does.

Real companies. Real file flows. Real results.
Dropbox is built for people storing and sharing files. It was never built for partner logins over SFTP, automated file routing between companies, or sending files out with a full record of who got what. Files.com mounts or syncs against any Dropbox you can reach and adds that layer on top, without changing how anyone uses Dropbox.
The Dropbox account can be your own. It can also belong to an investor, a client, or an agency partner who runs on it and expects you to exchange through it. Pull files out of a Dropbox someone else owns, drop files into theirs, or do both at once. Your side sets the rules. Their side just keeps using Dropbox.
Dropbox can’t let a partner log in over SFTP. Files.com mounts a Dropbox folder and adds SFTP, FTPS, FTP, and WebDAV on top of it from one place. Those are the ways partners and apps actually connect, so they reach the files in Dropbox without ever touching Dropbox itself.
When a file is added or changed in the mounted Dropbox folder, Files.com can run a rule to move, encrypt, route, or hand it off to another system. No code, no separate Dropbox app.
A mount passes every action through to Dropbox in real time, with no copy and no migration. Dropbox stays the place the team works in. When the Dropbox belongs to someone else, a sync moves only the files the job needs, in the direction you pick.
Dropbox shows up right next to SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, S3, Azure Blob, and your own servers in one place, so a single job can read from Dropbox and write to a partner’s server without leaving Files.com.
Files.com delivery monitoring knows when each Dropbox feed is due and alerts the moment one is late, so a stalled delivery surfaces as an alert instead of a discovery weeks later.
Files.com adds a layer of control over Dropbox content: who can see which folders, 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 is logged in one place and can be exported to your security tools. Dropbox’s own logging was never built to produce a record like that, so you can finally answer who touched a file and when.
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 Dropbox 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. Nobody has to remember to do it.
Mount a Dropbox folder as a Files.com folder. Every action passes straight through in real time. Best when Files.com is the live way people and apps reach Dropbox.
Copy files on a schedule between Files.com and Dropbox, in either direction; 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 Dropbox.
Run a rule when a file arrives, on a schedule, or when a condition is met, with the Dropbox mount as the source, the destination, or both.
Let people sign in to Files.com with their Dropbox login. It’s a separate single sign-on setting, independent of the file connection, and it works on its own.
A file lands in a Dropbox Team folder, and Files.com routes it to an SFTP server, a partner, or another cloud, with no one lifting a finger.
A partner uploads to your Files.com site over SFTP. The file lands in the mounted Dropbox folder, and a rule handles it from there. The partner has no Dropbox account.
Share Dropbox-backed files with a branded link under your own domain; every access is logged, and the files stay stored in Dropbox.
Your team runs on SharePoint, Google Drive, S3, or your own servers, but an investor’s data room or a client’s deliverable folder lives in their Dropbox. Files.com syncs against that Dropbox on a schedule to pull their files in or push yours out. Your side stays controlled and logged, with no Dropbox account for anyone on your team.
Route files on the Dropbox mount by event or schedule to move, encrypt, convert, and hand off, with no separate Dropbox app to build.
