    We are investigating reports of delays to batch and scheduled operations, including but not limited to scheduled and ad-hoc syncs, moves, copies, file transformations, automations, webhooks, batch deletes, email delivery, previews, and similar batch operations.

We will provide additional details as they become available. Customers with urgent questions are encouraged to contact our Customer Support team by email. Thank you for your patience.

    We have identified the cause of the operational delays for batch and scheduled operations and are working to implement a fix. At this time, the vast majority of batch and scheduled operations are caught up, but there is a small minority of jobs that are still impacted. We have resolved a real-time operations performance degradation on Files.com which affected all Files.com core and auxiliary services in all regions. Real-time operations, such as FTP, SFTP, AS2, and other operations where Files.com acts as a server, should be back to normal performance. We will post an update as soon as all services are restored to normal, and continue to monitor to confirm resolution. If you need additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Support team by email. Thank you for your patience.
