Introduction

The Files.com Python package is the best way to use Files.com from applications written in the Python language.

Files.com customers use our Python package 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.

Every function in the Files.com application is available via Python. Nothing is excluded.

This package is officially supported by Files.com for Python 3.8+. Prior versions of Python are considered end-of-life by the Python Software Foundation and Files.com only supports environments that are still supported by their vendor. With that said, we believe that this package works in Python 3.5-3.7 as well.

The Python package uses the Files.com RESTful APIs via the HTTPS protocol (port 443) to securely communicate and transfer files so no firewall changes should be required in order to allow connectivity to Files.com.

Installation

Use pip to install the latest version of the Files.com package.

pip3 install Files.com

Files.com automatically pushes a new release to PIP every time a commit is made to the master branch on GitHub, so there is no benefit in directly linking the package from GitHub.

Files.com is Committed to Python

Python is the most commonly used language for custom integrations to Files.com. Our Files.com Desktop v6 application (that we publish) is also written in Python, using this exact same package.
