Introduction

For integration choices and credential scope, start with SDKs & APIs. Scripts, APIs & Application Workflows explains how to coordinate Files.com operations with the work your application owns.

The Files.com .NET client library calls the Files.com API from .NET applications.

Files.com customers use our .NET client library for directly working with files and folders as well as performing management tasks such as adding/removing users, onboarding counterparties, retrieving information about automations and more.

The .NET client library uses the Files.com REST API over HTTPS (port 443) for API requests and file transfers.

Frameworks Supported

FilesCom 2.0 supports applications that target these frameworks. NuGet installs the build of the FilesCom package that matches your project's target framework:

  • .NET 10, with the package's net10.0 build
  • .NET 8, with the package's net8.0 build, until Microsoft's support for .NET 8 ends on November 10, 2026
  • .NET Framework 4.8 and 4.8.1, with the package's .NET Standard 2.0 (netstandard2.0) build

NuGet also installs the .NET Standard 2.0 build for other runtimes that implement .NET Standard 2.0, but Files.com does not test or support them.

As a policy, Files.com does not support integrations which are considered end-of-life by their vendor. Version 2.0 removed support for .NET Core, .NET 5, .NET 6 and .NET Framework 4.6.1 through 4.7.2.
