How Files.com Fits With Fivetran

Fivetran is ELT: its SFTP connector pulls files from a source on a schedule and loads them into the destination warehouse. The connector is only as good as the source behind it — and partner files rarely arrive clean. Different senders, different formats, different schedules, no audit trail, and nobody owning the part where the file lands before Fivetran ever reads it.

Files.com is that source. Partners and upstream systems send to your Files.com site over SFTP, FTPS, or HTTPS; an Automation validates each file, normalizes the format Fivetran expects, and stages it where the connector reads. The Fivetran SFTP connector then pulls the clean data and syncs it into your warehouse. Where Fivetran prefers an S3 source, Files.com exposes an S3-compatible API to point at instead — and every file the connector touched is logged.

What You Would Use

Be The SFTP Source Fivetran Pulls

The Fivetran SFTP connector pulls from a host you give it. Point it at your Files.com site and it reads clean, staged files over SFTP — one endpoint, per-sender credentials, audit on every transfer.

See File Transfer

Or Be The S3 Source

Files.com exposes an S3-compatible API, so where Fivetran prefers an S3 source over SFTP, the connector points at your Files.com site as an S3 endpoint instead — no Amazon S3 bucket to provision.

See The S3-Compatible API

Normalize Before The Sync

Convert CSV, JSON, XML, and EDI into the shape your sync expects, and pull values out of each file to route it, before the Fivetran connector ever reads it.

See Transform & Extract

Audit Every File Loaded

Every partner is scoped to its own folder and credentials, and every file the Fivetran connector pulled is logged — who sent it, when it arrived, and what the sync read.
