Trimble File Service overview

Overview

The Trimble File Service API offers capabilities for securely managing file-type resources organized into folders and related metadata using predefined ACL roles.

The Trimble File Service is Trimble’s next iteration of file management solutions. It builds on top of the work and learnings from Data Ocean and Trimble Connect, and expands beyond their application- and project-centric concepts.

Data Ocean End of Life

File Service is the replacement for Data Ocean v3. New file management adoption use cases should adopt the latest version of the File Service API.

Existing Data Ocean users will need to migrate to File Service in 2026. The File Service team will be contacting Data Ocean users to discuss the migration process. Know more about migration

V1 API Backward Compatibility

The File Service has released v2 APIs. The v1 API will remain available until mid-2026 to support backward compatibility for existing integrators. However, we strongly encourage all current v1 users to migrate to v2 as soon as possible.

New integrations should use the v2 APIs. New features and enhancements will only be added to the v2 API.

All documentation applies to the v2 APIs unless otherwise specified.
