Filebase

Files.com provides integration with Filebase, allowing you to make your Filebase storage available to your users as Files.com folders. Filebase provides an easy-to-use decentralized storage network, which you can now access with Files.com.

Filebase integration at Files.com

With Files.com, Filebase storage can be connected as a Remote Server Mount, making the Filebase storage content available in real time, or connected as a Remote Server Sync, allowing you to push, pull, or synchronize files between Filebase and other Files.com storage locations.

Integrating Files.com with Filebase allows your users to access Filebase storage through Files.com, using a web browser, SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, the Files.com Desktop App, or the Files.com Command Line (CLI) App.

Files.com integrates with Filebase using the Filebase APIs via HTTPS, providing secure encrypted data transmission between the two platforms.

Connecting to Filebase

To connect to Filebase, create a new Remote Server, and select Filebase as the server type.

You must provide an Internal name for this connection. If you're managing multiple remote servers, make the name clear enough to easily identify this particular connection.

The Authentication Information is required because it contains the credentials Files.com will use for connecting to the remote system.

Once Filebase has been added as a Remote Server, you can integrate it with Files.com as either a Remote Server Mount or Remote Server Sync.

Authentication Information

The following items are required for connecting Files.com to Filebase:

Internal name for this connection - An internal identifier to refer to this connection.

Bucket - The name of your Filebase storage bucket, as shown in your Filebase web portal > Buckets page.

Access Key - The Filebase Access Key, as shown in your Filebase web portal > Access Keys page.

Secret - The Secret that corresponds to the above Access Key, as shown in your Filebase web portal > Access Keys page.

Add Remote Server Mount

Remote Server Mounts are created by mounting them onto an empty folder in Files.com. This folder should not be the Root of your site, although that is supported if you need it.

Add Remote Server Sync

After creating the Remote Server, you can use it to perform Remote Syncs between your remote server and Files.com.

Automations

Folders that have been configured with either Remote Server Mount, or Remote Server Sync, to Filebase can also be used with automations, allowing you to include Filebase storage buckets as source locations or destinations for your automations.

Case Sensitivity

Be aware of case sensitivity differences when copying, moving, or syncing files and folders between Filebase and other storage locations. Filebase is a case sensitive system whereas other systems may not be. This can cause files to be overwritten, and folders to have their contents merged, if their case insensitive names are a match.
