Dropbox stores and shares files well. It just can't let a partner log in over SFTP, take in files from an outsider on its own, or show you who did what. Files.com adds all of that on top of any Dropbox — your own, or a partner's, client's, or investor's — so people can send, receive, and share the files in it, with a full record of every action. You don't have to use Dropbox yourself to trade files with someone who does.
Dropbox is built for people storing and sharing files. It was never built for partner logins over SFTP, automated file routing between companies, or sending files out with a full record of who got what. Files.com mounts or syncs against any Dropbox you can reach and adds that layer on top — controlled and logged from your side, without changing how anyone uses Dropbox.
The Dropbox account can be your own, or it can belong to an investor, a client, or an agency partner who runs on it and expects you to exchange through it. Pull files out of a Dropbox someone else owns, drop files into theirs, or do both at once — all controlled and logged on your side. You don't have to use Dropbox yourself to trade files with someone who does.
Dropbox can’t let a partner log in over SFTP. Files.com mounts a Dropbox folder and adds SFTP, FTPS, FTP, and WebDAV on top of it from one place — the ways partners and apps actually connect. They reach the files in Dropbox without ever touching Dropbox itself.
When a file is added or changed in the mounted Dropbox folder, Files.com can run a rule to move, encrypt, route, or hand it off to another system. No code, no separate Dropbox app.
A mount passes every action through to Dropbox in real time — no copy, no migration. Dropbox stays the place the team works in. When the Dropbox belongs to someone else, a sync moves only the files the job needs, in the direction you pick.
Dropbox shows up right next to SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, S3, Azure Blob, and your own servers in one place, so a single job can read from Dropbox and write to a partner’s server without leaving Files.com.
Set who can see which folders, tie access to your company logins, and keep a full record of every access and download — the controls and the trail an auditor asks for.
Files.com adds a layer of control over Dropbox content: who can see which folders, a record of everything that happens, and the same company logins your team already uses.
Hand each person, partner, or app the exact folders they need and nothing else, with nine levels of permission per user or group.
Every login, upload, download, and permission change is logged in one place and can be exported to your security tools — the kind of record Dropbox’s own logging was never built to produce.
People sign in with your company login from any major provider, with two-factor enforced right down to the SFTP, FTPS, and WebDAV connections. When someone leaves, you cut their Dropbox access in one place.
Files.com can apply GPG encryption and decryption automatically as files move, so sensitive data is protected before it lands — nobody has to remember to do it.
Mount a Dropbox folder as a Files.com folder. Every action passes straight through in real time. Best when Files.com is the live way people and apps reach Dropbox.
Copy files on a schedule between Files.com and Dropbox, in either direction; the files end up in both places. Best for backups, archives, staged ingest, and the case where you only need to move part of someone else’s Dropbox.
Run a rule when a file arrives, on a schedule, or when a condition is met — with the Dropbox mount as the source, the destination, or both.
Separately, you can let people sign in to Files.com with their Dropbox login. This is its own setting, independent of the file connection above.
A file lands in a Dropbox Team folder, and Files.com routes it to an SFTP server, a partner, or another cloud — with no one lifting a finger.
A partner uploads to your Files.com site over SFTP. The file lands in the mounted Dropbox folder, and a rule handles it from there. The partner has no Dropbox account.
Share Dropbox-backed files with a branded link under your own domain; every access is logged, and the files never leave Dropbox.
Your team runs on SharePoint, Google Drive, S3, or your own servers, but an investor’s data room or a client’s deliverable folder lives in their Dropbox. Files.com syncs against that Dropbox on a schedule — pull their files in, or push yours out — controlled and logged on your side, with no Dropbox account for anyone on your team.
Route files on the Dropbox mount by event or schedule — move, encrypt, convert, and hand off, with no separate Dropbox app to build.
