ShareFile
Add ShareFile to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Embed a ShareFile integration so your customers can work their files and folders from inside your product, with access running through each customer's own grant so their existing permissions apply. fastn handles authentication, pagination, and API upkeep per customer.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let customers browse and search their own folders from inside your product.
Upload and download files so documents stay where the customer already keeps them.
Create share links with expiry so recipients get access without broad permissions.
Trigger your product when a file is uploaded or a folder changes.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent reads a document to answer a question grounded in the customer's own files.
An agent files a generated document into the right folder within governed permissions.
An agent reacts to a new upload and starts the next processing step.
Example prompt
List files added to this client folder in the last week and generate expiring share links for each.
Set up ShareFile in 4 steps
- 01Open the ShareFile connector from your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer authenticate their ShareFile account.
- 03Map the folders your product may access, then enable actions and triggers.
- 04Call them from your product, or expose them to an agent through the MCP server.
Why teams use the ShareFile integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a ShareFile integration without building it. Your customers connect their own ShareFile account inside your product and work their files, documents and versions there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: permissions and versioning are easy to get subtly wrong, and mistakes expose content. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a ShareFile update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed ShareFile connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you let your product work with your customers' documents in place without wiring it twice.

AsanaShareFile integration FAQ
How do I add a ShareFile integration to my product?
Enable the ShareFile connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own ShareFile account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no ShareFile client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own ShareFile account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own ShareFile account and only ever sees their own files, documents and versions. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this ShareFile integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent reads a document to answer a question grounded in the customer's own files.
Who maintains the ShareFile integration?
fastn does. When ShareFile changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Whose permissions does the ShareFile integration run under?
Each customer's own ShareFile grant. Where ShareFile holds a library, their existing folder and item permissions apply and your product cannot reach content the connected account could not reach itself. Where it processes content you supply rather than storing it, the call runs under that customer's own credentials and is logged per tenant.
Can my product create or update content in ShareFile automatically?
Where ShareFile supports writes, documents, entries and assets can be created, updated and filed from your product or by an agent within scoped permissions, with each action logged. Where it is a read surface, the same connection serves reads only.
What can I build with the ShareFile integration?
A common starting point: browse and search their own folders from inside your product. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the ShareFile integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding ShareFile does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
