Use Files.com with Python

Empower Developers to Automate with Confidence

Build faster. Automate smarter. Transfer files securely right from your Python code.

The Files.com Python SDK gives developers a powerful toolset for building secure, automated file transfer workflows directly in Python—the most popular language for scripting, automation, and backend development. Whether you're a SaaS platform exchanging files with customers, a data team managing cloud pipelines, or an IT department looking to modernize legacy file systems, the Python SDK helps you move faster while reducing complexity and risk.

Instead of building fragile one-off scripts, your team gets a production-ready SDK backed by Files.com's proven infrastructure. That means fewer errors, fewer maintenance headaches, and faster time-to-value.

Automate File Transfers, Eliminate Manual Steps

Forget manual uploads or brittle cron jobs. The Python SDK replaces manual processes with robust, repeatable automation. Upload, download, move, delete, and manage files programmatically—across users, folders, and storage targets.

Reduce human error, free up your team’s time, and ensure critical files are always where they need to be, when they need to be there. That’s especially important when working with partners, clients, or internal systems that rely on timely data delivery.

Integrate Seamlessly With Your Tech Stack

Files.com is designed to be the central hub for all your file transfers—cloud to cloud, system to system, or hybrid. With the Python SDK, integration becomes straightforward. Use simple, readable code to:

  • Sync data with cloud storage like AWS S3, Azure Blob, or Google Cloud Storage
  • Connect to internal databases, ERPs, CRMs, or data warehouses
  • Exchange files with external vendors, customers, and partners
  • Bridge modern apps with legacy systems without needing custom APIs or middleware

This flexibility lets your engineering team connect file-based workflows across the organization. No need to rely on outdated FTP servers, overly complex middleware, or manual workarounds. It’s future-proof file integration, written in Python.

Secure by Design, Scalable by Default

Security is a priority in Files.com—and by extension, in the Python SDK. All transfers are encrypted in transit and at rest. The SDK communicates with the Files.com API over HTTPS using token-based authentication, with support for granular permissioning and audit logging.

Don’t build security from scratch. Files.com gives you a compliant, enterprise-grade foundation—so your scripts can scale with your business while meeting internal and external security requirements.

Whether you’re transferring gigabytes or terabytes, a few times a day or thousands of times per hour, the SDK is built to handle it. Smart retries, pagination, and batching are all included, ensuring stable performance even under load.

Developer-Friendly, Business-Ready

Python developers will feel at home immediately. The SDK is lightweight, easy to install, and follows idiomatic Python practices. Its intuitive method names and clear responses make it simple to read, write, and debug. And with full API coverage, developers can do anything in Python that they could do from the Files.com web interface.

From a business standpoint, this means:

  • Faster development cycles: Teams spend less time reading docs and more time shipping workflows
  • Reduced maintenance overhead: Built-in error handling and consistent behavior reduce support tickets
  • Improved collaboration: Engineers, analysts, and IT staff can use the same tools and language to move files securely
