Overview#

The Files.com API offers the flexibility to automate file management and manipulate folder structures programmatically. With Files.com on Pipedream, you can construct workflows that handle file synchronization, sharing, and security. It's a powerhouse for creating custom triggers based on file events, automating content distribution, or integrating seamless file operations within a broader data processing ecosystem.

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    files_com: {
      type: "app",
      app: "files_com",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://${this.files_com.$auth.subdomain}.files.com/api/rest/v1/users.json`,
      headers: {
        "X-FilesAPI-Key": `${this.files_com.$auth.api_key}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Example Use Cases#

Automated Backup to Cloud Storage: Leverage Pipedream's scheduled triggers to periodically back up critical files from Files.com to a cloud storage service like Google Drive or Dropbox. When a new file is added to a designated folder in Files.com, have Pipedream copy it over to your backup storage, ensuring data redundancy and accessibility.
Content Distribution Network: Utilize Files.com as a central hub for distributing content. When new marketing materials are uploaded, a Pipedream workflow can be triggered to send these files to various platforms, such as a CMS like WordPress, or social media management tools like Buffer, to streamline content dissemination.
User Activity Monitoring and Notification: Set up a Pipedream workflow that monitors user activity on Files.com and sends alerts via email or a messaging app like Slack. For instance, when a file is downloaded or a new user is added to a workspace, an automatic notification could be sent to the relevant stakeholders to maintain oversight and security.
