Files.com Likes & Dislikes

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.

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

What stands out most is how simple it makes something that's usually clunky. Uploading, accessing, and sharing files just works without extra steps or confusion. The interface feels clean, permissions are easy to manage, and it's reliable. You don't have to second guess whether files went through or if someone can access what they need. It saves time and mental effort.

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.

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

If I had to pick a downside, it's that some of the more advanced features and settings aren't very obvious at first. If you need to do anything beyond basic file sharing, it can take a bit of digging through menus and documentation to figure it out. It's powerful, but not all of that power is immediately intuitive for everyday use.

    Reliable and secure file Management with minor hiccups

    4.0
    Feb 9, 2026
    I rated files.com 4 stars because overall it works well and is relable. The latform makes file sharing and storage easy and the interface is simple to navigate. Uploading, downloading and organizing files is smooth and features like automation and collaboration are helpful. However, it's not perfect: some of the advanced features are a bit confusing and occasionally slow loading or minor glitches reduce the experience slightly. Overall, it is solid and efficient but there is small room for improvement.

    Secure File Transfer and Automation Simplified With Broad Protocol Support

    4.0
    Feb 10, 2026
    My experience has been good because Files.com makes secure file transfer and automation easier and the interface is modern and cloud-native. Setting up the workflows and integrations was mostly smooth. Some advanced setup and learning the automation took longer than expected.
