Linode Object Storage holds files reliably and works with S3 tools, but it can't let a partner log in over SFTP, hand someone a download link, or show you who did what. Files.com adds all of that on top of any Linode bucket — yours, or a partner's — so you can send, receive, and share the files in it. You don't even have to be a Linode customer.
Akamai Linode Object Storage works with S3 tools and is built for big piles of files — media, AI and machine-learning datasets, backups, long-term archives — with copies kept across servers so the data stays available. It's storage, not a way to work with files: no SFTP, no way to set partners up, no automation, no record of who did what. Files.com adds all of that on top of any Linode bucket.
The bucket can be yours, or it can belong to a partner, a vendor, or a customer. Pull files out of someone else's bucket, drop files into theirs, or do both at once — all controlled and logged on your side.
Set who can reach what, share files safely, and automate the busywork on top of the Linode bucket — all the things Linode doesn't do on its own.
Move regulated and high-value files in and out of Linode over SFTP, FTP, and FTPS from one Files.com site — with the record of every action that compliance reviews ask for.
Run on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, or your own servers and still connect to a partner's Linode bucket. All Files.com needs is the keys to the bucket — you never have to become a Linode customer.
Clean up or check data as it arrives, age old files out on a schedule, and route files the moment they land — the automation plain storage doesn't come with.
Linode keeps your files safe and available by copying them across servers. It has no way to manage the people and partners working with the files inside the bucket. Files.com adds that part: who can see what, a record of everything, and the same company logins your team already uses.
Hand each person or partner the exact folders they need — by team, project, or path. They see what they should, and nothing else.
Every login, upload, download, and change is logged and exportable — the proof a SOC 2 review or a partner dispute asks for, which Linode doesn't give you.
People sign in with your company login — SAML, LDAP, or Active Directory. When someone leaves, you cut their access to the bucket in one place.
Files.com can encrypt files with GPG automatically as they move, so only your matching key can open the stored files. Nobody has to remember to do it.
Show the Linode bucket as a Files.com folder. Uploads, downloads, deletes — every action goes straight to Linode with no copy and no delay. Use this when you want Files.com to be the place people go to reach the bucket. Best pointed at a folder rather than the whole bucket.
Copy files between Files.com and a Linode bucket on a schedule — one direction or both. Good for archiving, aging old files out, or keeping a copy in two places.
Kick off a Files.com Automation when a file arrives, on a timer, or when a rule is met. The Linode bucket can be where files come from, where they go, or both — Files.com treats it exactly like its own storage.
Sensitive datasets arrive over SFTP or FTPS into Linode, automations clean or check them as they land, and partner feeds come in through drop-off folders with no login. It's all controlled and logged on your side.
Records, lab reports, or images stored in Linode are encrypted with GPG, locked down with your company logins, and aged out on a schedule — all on their own.
Send finished files out as share links you can set to expire and limit. Scheduled workflows move old projects to cheaper cold storage, and Slack alerts fire when key files change.
You run on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, or your own servers, but a partner drops data into their Linode bucket — or wants you to put files into it. Files.com syncs with that bucket on a schedule, pulling their files in or pushing yours out. You get a full record of it all, and you never have to sign up for Linode.
