SharePoint is great for team sites and working on documents together. It just can't let a partner log in over SFTP, take in files from an outsider, or feed a full record into your security tools. Files.com adds all of that on top of any SharePoint document library, whether it's your own or a client's or partner's. People send, receive, and share the files in it, and you get a record you can pipe into Microsoft Sentinel. You don't have to use SharePoint yourself to trade files with someone who does.
“It easily integrates with SharePoint — team members across departments keep files up to date without having to log in to Files.com.”
SharePoint is great at team sites, document libraries, and people working on files together. It was never built to send and receive files from partners over the connection methods their systems use, or to keep an auditor-grade record of every exchange. Files.com mounts or syncs against any SharePoint library you can reach and adds that layer on top, controlled and logged from your side.
The library can be your own, or it can belong to a client, partner, or vendor who runs on Microsoft 365 and expects you to exchange through theirs. Pull files out of a library someone else owns, drop files into theirs, or do both at once. It's all controlled and logged on your side, so you trade files with someone who runs SharePoint without using SharePoint yourself.
Connect once with a service account and a single connection covers the whole library, the way an IT team sets up a workflow. Or let each person mount their own SharePoint, where they see exactly what they already see in SharePoint. Either way, the same Files.com control, logging, and connection methods sit on top.
Files.com mounts a SharePoint library and adds SFTP, FTPS, FTP, and WebDAV on top of it from one place. Partners and outside systems that rely on these older methods reach the files in SharePoint without ever touching SharePoint itself, so you don’t have to onboard them into Microsoft or build a workaround.
A mount passes every action through to SharePoint in real time. There’s no copy and no migration, so SharePoint stays the place your team collaborates. When the library belongs to someone else, a sync moves only the files the job needs, in the direction you pick.
Set up rules that pull reports out of SharePoint and send them over SFTP to auditors, labs, or compliance systems. The same rules route incoming uploads back into the right library, with no Power Automate or Purview to build, so the drops and intake run on their own.
SharePoint shows up right next to OneDrive, Azure Blob, Google Drive, S3, your own servers, and FTP/SFTP servers in one Files.com view, all run from a single platform.
Files.com adds a layer of control over SharePoint content, tied to the Entra logins you already run and feeding the security view your team already watches.
Hand each person, partner, or outside system the exact folders they need and nothing else, with nine levels of permission per user or group. Nobody sees a library they have no business in.
People sign in with Microsoft Entra ID or Active Directory over SAML, OAuth, or LDAP, with user accounts provisioned through SCIM and two-factor enforced right down to the SFTP, FTPS, and WebDAV connections. When someone leaves, you cut their access in one place.
Every access, download, and permission change against the SharePoint content is logged in one place, and you can feed it into Microsoft Sentinel. It’s the kind of external-exchange record SharePoint’s own logging was never built to produce, so the audit comes from one trail instead of a reconstruction job.
Files.com can encrypt files automatically as they move. Inboxes and share links carry their own controls for files coming in and going out.
Mount a SharePoint site, library, or folder as a Files.com folder. Every action passes straight through in real time. Best when Files.com is the live way partners and outside systems reach SharePoint.
Copy files on a schedule between Files.com and SharePoint, in either direction, for specific folders, file types, or timing. The files end up in both places.
Run a rule when a file arrives, on a schedule, or when a condition is met, with the SharePoint mount as the source, the destination, or both.
Teams that put Files.com in front of SharePoint usually swap the Microsoft desktop app for the Files.com Desktop App. One app gives a person their Files.com files plus their SharePoint, Box, OneDrive, and Drive. It’s all through Files.com and all controlled and logged the same way.
Patient files kept in SharePoint go out over a scheduled sync or SFTP to outside labs, partners, or insurers, without giving any of them SharePoint access. Every transfer is logged the way HIPAA expects.
Files.com pulls reports out of SharePoint and delivers them over SFTP to auditors or compliance systems, encrypted and with every transfer logged.
A partner uploads to your Files.com site over SFTP. The file lands in the mounted SharePoint library, and a rule routes it. The partner never gets SharePoint access.
Your team runs on Google Workspace, S3, or your own servers, but a client or partner keeps their document library in SharePoint. Files.com syncs against that library on a schedule, pulling their files in or pushing yours out. It’s controlled and logged on your side, with no Microsoft account for anyone on your team.
Take in files into SharePoint libraries from people with no Microsoft account, with every upload logged.

Files.com builds deeply on SharePoint, OneDrive, Azure, and Microsoft Entra ID, so of course we’ll be on the floor at Microsoft Ignite telling our File Orchestration story. The legacy MFT vendors won’t be there.
