Three Reasons to Use File Server

File Server is an SFTP server that is bundled with Oracle Integration. With File Server, you get up to 500 GB of storage for free as a part of your subscription, allowing you to store, share, and receive files, including files for SaaS integrations and third-party transfers.

Note:

If you need more than 500 GB of File Server storage capacity, you can purchase the additional storage for an additional charge. Additional storage is available in 250 GB increments. Each additional GB of storage incurs 1 additional message per hour. For example, adding 250 GB of storage will incur 250 additional messages per hour.

Once additional storage capacity has been provisioned, it cannot be reduced or reverted. To request additional storage, submit a service request (SR) on My Oracle Support. The SR should include the OCID of the Oracle Integration instance for which additional storage is needed.

1. Eliminate the cost and operational expenses associated with hosting and maintaining an SFTP server

Managing a do-it-yourself file-based storage system is complex and daunting. From setting up hardware to maintaining the server, implementing a homegrown solution costs both time and money. With File Server, you get free file storage. Moreover, Oracle manages the operational tasks for you, so you can focus on solving more pressing business problems.

2. Create file-based integrations easily

If your organization needs an integration solution that supports file-based integrations, File Server is for you. And because File Server is embedded in Oracle Integration, you can start building file-based integrations quickly.

3. Manage permissions in one place, using an intuitive interface

Configuring and managing multiple users, groups, and folders in an SFTP environment can be challenging, but this work is simplified with File Server. File Server has a powerful administrative console that contains the core set of features that you expect from an SFTP server, all in an intuitive user interface that streamlines your workflows.
