Inbound Email: Automate File Intake from Anywhere

Need a simple, reliable way to accept files from outside your organization – without granting access or building custom upload portals?

Files.com Inboxes can be configured with unique email addresses. When someone sends a message with attachments to that address, the files are instantly ingested into your platform – ready for automated workflows, encryption, or syncing to remote systems.

Use Inbound Email to:

• Accept files from vendors, clients, or external partners securely.
• Automatically route attachments to the correct folder or destination.
• Trigger downstream workflows like GPG encryption, automation scripts, or remote syncs.

Every Inbox is fully configurable, and you can create as many as you need.

Outbound Notifications: Real-Time Alerts for File Activity

Want to know exactly when critical files are uploaded, downloaded, moved, or deleted?

Files.com can send detailed email notifications about file activity across any folder you choose. These notifications can be scheduled as frequently as every 5 minutes – or rolled up into daily digests.

You define:

• Which folders to watch.
• What actions to monitor (upload, download, move, copy, delete).
• Who receives the alerts.

This isn’t just a convenience feature – it’s a signal source.

When integrated with your SIEM, Files.com email notifications become part of your security telemetry. File access events, user actions, and transfers are surfaced as log-worthy signals – making Files.com an active participant in your security ecosystem.
