“Customized File Transfers Enhanced With Branding and Streamlined Notifications Features”

5.0
Apr 3, 2026
When we first started using Files.com it was just to replace our FTP server and to utilize the SFTP functionality of the product. They made it incredibly easy to set up a customized URL for our customers to use for transferring files to us and gave us a professional experience with customizing branding. The notifications were also a feature that we were interested in providing and updating to the people responsible for checking the files when they were deposited in our site. As the site has advanced the Remote Servers connection, which allows for file mounting and real-time access, has been a game changer. With their ever increasing automation we can take advantage of the remote connection and move files in real time where our on premise automation can get to it.

Works well with our end users for transferring files securely and easily. Does not involve a lot of setup initially and since it's SaaS it doesn't require much overhead.

Files.com Likes & Dislikes

Like

One thing I have seen and like is the constantly increasing library of integrations that they offer. We now have integrated with Teams to provide instant notification of a failure or a new file has been put in the folder. I like that it is also hardware/OS agnostic, they provide functionality on Windows, Mac, Mobile, and even have a CLI option for scripting. While looking through the site just now I see that they now offer a custom SMTP server so we can customize our from address.

Like

Easy to deploy and get new users setup. Quick leaving curve for end users who have never used it before. Does what it's supposed to.

Like

The all-in-one file platform. It combines managed file transfer, secure link sharing, cloud integrations and automation in one place. It also supports a broad set of protocols, and integrates with major cloud services like AWS, Azure, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc. reducing the need for multiple tools. The platform is straightforward to onboard, with built-in connectors, SDKs, API and automation tools that allow file workflows to be configured without custom scripting. This helps reduce manual work and streamlines partner and client collaboration. Files lets you automate file routing, notifications and conditional workflows, helping reduce manual tasks and giving IT better visibility into file activity.

Dislike

In our day to day use I really don't have anything to complain about.

Dislike

Customer support can be a bit slow and for the cost I think it's a bit much for what we need it for.

Dislike

One negative feedback would be the pricing being relatively high and not flexible enough for smaller corporations. The cost model doesn't always produce direct cost savings or staff reductions. While the core features are strong, certain sync and transfer options aren't always clear or fully supported between some systems, requiring clarification from support. And of course, setting up sophisticated automations with custom systems requires deep knowledge.

    Feb 10, 2026
    Our experience has been positive. It is a powerful cloud-native solution that replaces legacy file servers, SFTP infrastructure and scripts with a unified platform for secure file transfers, collaboration and automation across teams and external partners. It is a great choice for a business looking to move data reliably and securely, whether internally or with clients. This solution delivers strong performance and flexibility.

    Real-Time Efficiencies Noted in Global File Sharing With Files.com

    5.0
    Apr 20, 2026
    We have been using Files.com since it was previously known as BrickFTP. When we first started using it, we chose it as a replacement for a traditional FTP solution, but Files.com has become our company's file sharing solution for both internal use for projects, and to share files with our customers and vendors. From our inception, use of the product produced immediate real-time efficiencies in our global file sharing between our Marketing departments in the US and Asia. Allowing the upload and download of files via the Desktop Agent to remove the manual process of downloading during business hours, but instead for files to download as users upload in their time zones. We continue to use it successfully for various different file sharing needs.
