Boomi is built to move records between applications. Files.com is built to move files between organizations: partner SFTP, PGP, and the audit trail that comes with them. An official Partner Connector joins the two, and jobs that are only file work can run on Files.com with no Process to build at all.

Real companies. Real file flows. Real results.
Boomi moves data between applications, partners, and systems. It is not a file-transfer platform, so it has no partner protocols, no folder-by-folder access rules, and no audit trail of its own. The Files.com Partner Connector for Boomi puts all three behind every Process, through the API.
Files.com publishes and maintains a real Boomi connector, listed as “Files.com - Partner Connector.” It is not a generic SFTP step. You build Processes against it with point-and-click Actions and Operations, so you write no glue code.
Copy, Create, Delete, Download, List, Move, Show, Update, and Upload, across files, folders, groups, share links, and user accounts. A Process can grant access and hand out share links, with no human in the admin panel.
The connector talks to the Files.com API directly and retries failures on its own. It is faster and more dependable than the old SFTP and FTP steps. Use it on every Boomi file Process, not a raw SFTP connector, so a Process keeps running through a hiccup instead of failing on it.
Files.com handles the partner protocols, the access rules, and the record of what happened. Boomi connects the systems downstream. And a job that is only file work runs entirely as Files.com Automations, no Process required: pick up, decrypt, reshape, deliver.
The Boomi connection is one Files.com API key. Make it site-wide for full access, or scope it to one user to limit which folders a Process can reach. Every action runs through the API and lands in the logs. That is the access control and audit trail Boomi doesn't give you for file work.
A site-wide key reaches every folder. A user-scoped key limits a Process to that user’s folders. A Process can reach exactly the folders its key allows, and nothing more.
The API key is stored encrypted and reusable across as many Processes as you need. Give each connection a clear name, so your integration team can tell its Processes apart.
Everything the connector does appears in the Files.com logs, so your team keeps a full record of what each Boomi Process did to the files.
A supplier sends inventory updates or purchase orders into a Files.com folder over SFTP. A scheduled Boomi Process downloads them and loads them into SAP or NetSuite. The files land on Files.com; Boomi handles the ERP side.
A Process finishes its work and uploads the result into a partner's Files.com folder. SFTP credentials or a share link make it available, with a full record of who took it.
A Process reacting to an HR system event uses the Create, Update, and Delete actions on Users and Groups to keep Files.com access in step with your directory.
A Process uses the Create and Update actions to hand out download links and set when they expire, as part of a larger fulfillment flow, so no one has to make them by hand.
Run file workflows on Files.com itself for the steps that belong there rather than in Boomi.

“Files.com's strengths are simplicity, ease of use, and the cloud connectors. We don't have to invent custom infrastructure for every partner.”
“Files.com is versatile — it can manage many different situations from a single platform. We've consolidated multiple tools onto it.”
“Files.com is robust and scales to a large enterprise. We get multiple files per minute, per second — and we're a 24/7 organization, so everything has to always be up.”
How the Files.com Partner Connector fits into your Boomi Processes, from the API key it authenticates with to what happens when an expected file runs late.
Yes. The Files.com Partner Connector is selectable in Boomi as “Files.com - Partner Connector.” Create a Connection with a Files.com API key, then build Processes using its Actions and Operations.
Use the Files.com Partner Connector. It talks to the Files.com API directly and retries failures on its own, which is faster and more dependable than a generic SFTP step. It also reaches folders, users, groups, and share links, beyond moving files. Use it on every Boomi file Process.
Yes. The Files.com Partner Connector retries network and service failures on its own, so a brief hiccup doesn't kill the Process the way a generic SFTP step would. If a failure won't clear, it surfaces to the Process so your own error handling takes over.
The Files.com Partner Connector authenticates with a single Files.com API key per Connection, stored encrypted. A site-wide key reaches every folder. A user-scoped key limits the Process to that user's folders. Every connector action shows up in the Files.com logs.
The Files.com Partner Connector for Boomi covers the full set of Files.com file operations (upload, download, list, copy, move, and delete), plus folders, users, groups, and share links. It calls the Files.com API rather than a file-transfer-only protocol, so a Boomi Process can manage access and sharing alongside the file work.
Yes. The connector talks to the Files.com API, so it reaches anything Files.com reaches: Amazon S3, Azure Blob, and Google Cloud buckets mounted as remote servers, and on-prem storage behind your firewall through the Files.com Agent over an outbound-only connection. Boomi never needs direct network access to your storage.
No. The Files.com Partner Connector for Boomi carries no separate charge. It is included with Files.com on the Power plan and above, and it authenticates with a Files.com API key. See what each plan includes.
Keep Boomi’s maps for record-level integration and run file-shaped work on Files.com. Format conversion, splitting, renaming, and per-recipient encryption run as TransformScript and Automations, configured rather than coded.
Files.com delivery monitoring defines when each upstream feed is due and alerts the moment one is late, before the missing data reaches anything downstream. Without it, a Boomi Process reading an empty folder succeeds at processing nothing.
