File Exchange
If you need to exchange files with Figure, whether that is one-way or bi-directional, we have a few options on how this can be done.
Files can optionally be GPG encrypted, please see Data Encryption for more information.
Figure does not require file transfers from all partners and will be requested if necessary.
The recommended file exchange option is Google Cloud Storage, but we can also use AWS S3, and if absolutely required, SFTP.
SFTP is not recommended as Google Cloud Storage and AWS S3 offer improved reliability and simpler lifecycle management.
