Files incident

Outbound (Remote Server) Connections Only: Elevated Error Rates

Resolved after 26 minutes, on July 19, 2025.

postmortem Jul 28, 2025, 06:09 PM UTC

From 21:39 UTC to 21:56 UTC on 19 July 2025, [Files.com](http://Files.com) customers experienced elevated error rates on certain Remote Server Integrations \(Sync and Mount\). All other platform services, including the [Files.com](http://Files.com) Agent, continued to operate normally. At 21:39 UTC, we released an update intended to simplify how our remote server integration engine chooses a backend server through which to route the connection. However, the update contained a defect that caused certain jobs to fail to select a backend server at all. At 21:56 UTC, we rolled back the change, immediately restoring normal performance. Full validation confirmed no residual impact. We understand that many customers rely on Remote Server Integrations for time-critical workflows, and even a brief interruption is unacceptable. We apologize for the disruption and appreciate your continued trust in [Files.com](http://Files.com). If you have any questions, please reach out to our Support team at any time.
