Seamlessly extend the power of Box with Files.com. Whether you're centralizing file access, enforcing fine-grained permissions, or building enterprise-grade workflows, Files.com helps you extract more value from your Box deployment—without moving a single file.

A Powerful Extension Layer for Box

Files.com lets you treat Box not just as a storage provider, but as a core part of your file operations strategy. Mount Box folders directly into your Files.com environment or configure real-time and scheduled Syncs between Box and any other storage location—without compromising security or control.

All Files.com interfaces—SFTP, FTP(S), AS2, WebDAV, Desktop App, Mobile App, CLI, and browser—become secure access points to your Box content, with centralized permissions, automation, and audit logging.

Integration Options

Using the native Files.com integration with Box, customers can seamlessly bring Files.com's platform capabilities to Box content management. Box can be added to your Files.com site either as a remote server for content access or as a Single Sign-On (SSO) identity provider for centralized authentication. Files.com adds an additional layer of access and permission controls when interacting with Box content through its various interfaces, while preserving Box as the underlying storage system.

Enhance, secure, and streamline your business processes by leveraging Files.com workflow features—such as Inboxes, Share Links, GPG encryption, Automations, file transfer protocols, (FTPS, SFTP, AS2, etc.) authentication and authorization (SSO, Active Directory, LDAP, SAML), online co-editing, iPaaS integrations, and flexible notification options (webhooks, Slack, Amazon SNS)—alongside your Box-managed content.

Files.com integrates with Box using their APIs over HTTPS, ensuring secure, encrypted data transmission between the two platforms.

(Note: Both integrations are independent and can be used either separately or together)

Remote Server

The Files.com integration to Box allows you to Mount any folder in your Box account directly into Files.com as a folder. Alternatively, you can Sync a folder or folders in your Files.com account on a one-way or two-way basis with any folder or folders in Box.

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

Integrating Files.com with Box allows your users to access Box content through Files.com, using a web browser, SFTP, FTP(S), AS2, WebDAV, the Files.com Desktop App, the Files.com Mobile App, or the Files.com Command Line (CLI) App.

For user account management, Files.com lets you select Box as a Single-Sign-On (SSO) identity provider, allowing your users to authenticate with Files.com using their Box credentials.
