A Powerful Extension Layer for Google Drive

Enhance, secure, and expand your business processes by combining your Google Drive with Files.com workflow features such as Inboxes, Share Links, GPG, Automations, file transfer capabilities (FTPS, SFTP, AS2, etc.), authentication and authorization (Single Sign-On, Active Directory, LDAP, SAML, etc.), online co-editing, iPaaS integrations, and a rich selection of notification options (webhooks, Slack, Amazon SNS.)

Integrating Files.com with Google Drive allows your users to access Google Drive content through Files.com, using a web browser, SFTP, FTP(S), AS2, WebDAV, the Files.com Desktop App, the Files.com Mobile App, or the Files.com Command Line (CLI) App.

Integration Options & Capabilities

Google Drive can be connected as a Remote Server Mount, making your Google Drive content available in real time, or connected as a Remote Server Sync, allowing you to push, pull, or synchronize files between Google Drive and other Files.com storage locations. You can connect with a Google Drive located in any Google region, using Google's REST APIs via HTTPS, providing secure encrypted data transmission between the two platforms.

Why Leverage Files.com's Remote Server with Google Drive?

Files.com's Remote Server Mount & Server Sync features give you the ability to:

• Access Google Drive files in real time, including on a counterparty (client or vendor's) cloud without provisioning individual access to individual users
• Streamline workflows and reduce storage costs by leveraging on-premise or bulk storage solutions
• Enable applications to access 3rd party clouds via Files.com API, FTP, SFTP, or Files.com Apps and many more

Real-World Use Cases

Different organizations often need to collect large volumes of files from multiple contributors, whether that's field employees, remote offices, contractors, or external partners. When contributors are already using Google Drive, Files.com's integration simplifies this process by automating file ingestion, centralizing access, and enforcing enterprise-grade control over the incoming data. This powerful integration enables a wide variety of use cases across industries such as:

• Broadcast & Media: Freelance videographers upload footage to shared Google Drives, and Files.com automatically pulls these files into a centralized SFTP location for editing or archiving.
• Construction & Engineering: Remote project teams submit reports, CAD drawings, or site photos into Drive folders, allowing Files.com to ingest them for structured storage and compliance documentation.
• Legal & Compliance: External firms drop confidential documents into Google Drive, and Files.com automates the transfer into secure, access-controlled storage with full audit trails.

Pricing & Support

Files.com's integration with Google Drive is a core integration of Files.com, maintained by the Files.com team, and is fully supported as part of your Files.com subscription. Any Files.com customer on the Power plan and up can work with Google Drive as part of their existing subscription.
