Power BI keeps reports current by refreshing from source files on a schedule — CSV and Excel sitting in a folder, on SharePoint, or in cloud storage. The dashboards are only as fresh as those source files, and getting them there is the part that breaks: partners and upstream systems send over SFTP in formats that vary by sender, and someone has to validate, normalize, and drop each one in the right place before the refresh runs.

Files.com handles that front. Partners and systems send files to your Files.com site over SFTP, FTPS, or HTTPS; an Automation validates and routes each one, normalizes the format, and writes it into the folder or cloud bucket your Power BI refresh reads — on the schedule the refresh expects. The dashboard updates against clean, current data without anyone touching a file by hand.
