Imagine that your CRM application, for example Salesforce, is sending you daily reports as email attachments. You want to store or archive those attachments in cloud storage or you want to transfer or send those attachments to a different system. Doing it manually is not a fun process.

Ready To Conduct Business Over Email?

As a business, have you ever wondered how your website visitors or customers could securely send files to your storage platform without logging in anywhere? In healthcare you may need visitors to send files to an email address such as claims@mycompany.com, then you have to manually parse, classify, and upload those files to your storage platform. Your inbox could fill faster than you can empty it, causing processing delays and requiring extra manual effort.

To solve this, create an inbound email address for your folder at Files.com and create a forwarding rule on your organization's email server to forward claims@mycompany.com to your Files.com folder’s email address. Retain your email address claims@mycompany.com and continue to use it on your website and your email signature. Ask your customers to upload files by sending you attachments to that email address. Simple and secure

Files.com can detect attachments and store them to Files.com, or to any integrated remote server such as Amazon AWS, Azure Files, Google Cloud, SharePoint, OneDrive, Box, Dropbox, etc. Once files are stored, they can be shared with a link, or they can be transferred to a different system using FTP, SFTP or AS2 protocols. On top of that, you can still apply your favorite Folder settings such as File expiration, Limit uploads to certain extensions, and so on. You can also create workflows to further route your files to human users or automated systems.
