Files.com turns the one-time hand-off of an acquired company’s, a new client’s or a divested unit’s data into a repeatable pattern: they deliver however they can, the data lands in a scoped staging area with credentials that expire, automations reshape and forward it, and every file is logged as proof of what was received.
The old way is shipped drives, a transfer server stood up for the deal, or migration tooling that stalls at file-count limits and says little about what failed. Every deal repeats the scramble.
The data arrives once, from people who will never hold an account on your systems, in sizes that break email and in shapes the target system was not expecting. So each acquisition, onboarding and divestiture stood up its own way in: a server, a firewall exception, a courier account, each secured in a hurry and torn down late.
On Files.com the way in already exists. The deal gets a folder and a set of expiring credentials, the other side delivers however it can, and the log is the receipt. The fourth deal is as calm as the first.
Real companies. Real file flows. Real results.
Acquired databases and archives, a new client’s legacy data, a divested unit’s exports to its buyer, and conversion data that has to stay segregated.
The deal closes and terabytes of database backups, document archives and file libraries have to come from an environment you do not control into one you do, on a deadline, with a record of what was received.
A client signs and uploads its databases, records and archives during onboarding, sometimes hundreds of gigabytes, into a folder scoped to that client with credentials that expire when the migration is done.
A business unit is sold, and its ERP, HR and document exports are handed to the buyer through a governed staging area with a file-by-file record, instead of shipped drives.
ERP and HCM conversion files during a consolidation stage in a segregated site the integration team and the vendor can reach and nobody else can, and then it is torn down.
A staging area that exists for the event, delivery however the other side can, reshaping on arrival, and proof of what was received.
Each deal or client gets its own folder tree, or its own child site, with credentials that expire on the date you set. The transfer server and the firewall exception you used to secure and tear down afterward never get built.
The other party delivers over SFTP, the browser or an upload inbox, or Files.com mounts their bucket or their SFTP server and pulls, so nobody on either side installs a tool or opens a port.
Automations unzip, decrypt, restructure a nested archive for import into the target system, and forward it into your cloud storage or an on-premises server through the Files.com Agent.
Every file, its size, its arrival time and who delivered it is in the audit log, and a delivery expectation names what is still missing, so the hand-off closes on evidence rather than a phone call.
Direct SFTP delivery and in-place extraction keep enormous DMS archives off PAG’s internal servers while giving reviewers and buyers one governed location.

“Files.com is a secure and easy-to-set-up product with multiple integration options for on-premise servers or any of the public cloud servers. We can have Active Directory-based corporate authentication as well as local user creation on their platform, and we can manage permissions independently.”
“Our previous solution was on-prem, so we had to allow a third-party vendor onto our entire network. With Files.com that isn't the case — everything is handled at the cloud-based level, whether it's inbound or outbound.”
The three ways bulk data changes hands today, and where each one leaves you on the next deal.
Encrypted disks in a courier bag, a week each way, and no record beyond a tracking number. Fine once. The third deal repeats the scramble.
A server or a firewall exception stood up for the deal, secured in a hurry, and torn down late or never. Every acquisition builds it again.
Vendor migration tools stall at file-count and size limits and report little about what failed, and they assume both sides live on the same platform. A cloud-to-cloud library move is Mover’s job. The environment you do not control is this one.
What integration and IT leads ask before running the next acquisition, onboarding or divestiture through Files.com.
Give the acquired company’s IT an SFTP account and folder on your Files.com domain, or an upload inbox for the people, and let them deliver over the connection they already have. Files up to 5 TB transfer over resumable, parallel connections, arrivals land in your own cloud storage or an on-premises target through the Agent, and the audit log records every file received.
Yes. Each client gets a scoped folder with credentials that expire when onboarding ends, uploads through the browser, the desktop app or SFTP, and automations decrypt, unzip and stage the data for import into your platform. Where the intake is permanent rather than one-time, per-customer data intake is the same setup kept running.
Mount the partner’s bucket or SFTP server as a Files.com folder and sync it into your own storage. Files.com sits outside both perimeters and makes outbound connections to each, so no firewall exception is opened on either side.
For a cloud-to-cloud library move with error logging and permission mapping, Mover, the one-time migration tool from Files.com, is built for exactly that job. Files.com is the staging layer for data arriving from an environment you do not control: acquired databases, client archives, divested exports.
Stage the exports in a folder or child site the buyer’s team can reach with credentials that expire at the hand-off date, and give them SFTP and browser access. The audit log records every file delivered and every download, which is the receipt both sides want.
Yes. A child site with its own administrators holds the conversion data, the integration vendor and the project team are the only users, and deleting the site at go-live removes every account and file with the audit trail retained.
A delivery expectation on the staging folder names what should arrive and by when, and reports what is missing. Every file’s arrival, size and checksum is in the audit log, so completeness is verified against a list rather than assumed.
No. They deliver through the browser or the SFTP client they already have, and their credentials expire on the date you set, so the access created for the deal does not outlive it.
The staging area runs on your Files.com plan: folders, users, storage and the automations are part of the platform, and there is no per-event fee. Enterprise sites add dedicated IP addresses, storage regions and the onboarding help a large deal wants. Tell us about the events you have coming and we will scope it with you.
