The Voltn API: integrate your applications with a sovereign cloud

Voltn (formerly NetExplorer) provides a complete, documented REST API. Your business software can directly control your file platform: data stays in France, and data flows remain under your control.

Documented REST API

OAuth2

Why integrate your cloud with your IT system?

A high-performing IT system relies on tools that communicate with each other. As long as your file management remains isolated, your teams will have to compensate manually.

Document silos

The ERP has its attachments, the CRM has its own, and so does the HRIS. The same document exists in three versions, and none of them is the source of truth.

Hours lost to manual tasks

Creating an account, uploading a file, setting permissions: every manual action takes time and eventually leads to errors.

Data flows outside the IT system

Without an official integration, teams resort to makeshift third-party tools. Your files then transit through servers you don't control.

Fragile proprietary connectors

Developed for a specific need, but never maintained. Everything breaks at the first update.

The Voltn API: what are the use cases?

ERP, CRM, and business software
