Do i need to register, and is the service free?

How do the transfer speeds differ?

Transfers up to 2 GB are given priority free of charge. For transfers over 2 GB, the user can use only available capacity that is not being used at that moment by subscribers. If a subscriber sends a transfer, we give priority to those transfers without regard to size. The higher the plan, the faster the transfer speed.

Is sending and receiving data secure?

Secure data transmission is of utmost importance to us. We use the highest level of data encryption for transfers, and the data stored on our servers is encrypted as well. The global authority for testing communications security (ssllabs.com) awarded us an A+ rating, the highest possible score (more info here).

How long will my data be stored?

If you're using the free version of the application, your data will be automatically deleted after three days (for transfers over 2 GB, after two days). If you use one of our paid plans, your transfers will automatically have extended expiration periods – 10, 20, or 30 days, depending on the plan. You can even save transfers indefinitely to your storage, where they will be available as long as you want. You can also save data directly to your storage and share it with recipients from there. Data in your storage does not expire. It will remain there as long as your paid profile is active.

How does the directory of incoming and outgoing transfers work?

Transfers are sorted in the directory automatically by the email address to which the profile is registered (or addresses if you have more than one verified email address). If the sender sends just a link, click on it when logged in, and we'll add the link to your directory of incoming transfers.

How can i save my data indefinitely?

How does storage work?

You can buy as much storage capacity as you need - see our plans (custom capacity can be arranged by agreement). You can save transfers to your storage or upload data directly to your storage. Data in your storage does not expire - it remains saved as long as you wish. You can then share your data with other users and continue to work with it. Use your storage for teams - you can share it with other users in "read/write" mode so that they can upload, delete, and copy data in your storage. Share one folder with many users, each having their own read/write privileges or even a password.

Yes – don’t close the browser window or tab where the transfer is taking place and click on “pause”.

Transfers can be paused for up to 3 days.

What browser do you recommend when using the application?

If you work mainly with transfers of 1 to 2 GB, you can use the latest versions of Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, and Firefox. If you work with data over 1 to 2 GB, we recommend Chrome, ideally the 64-bit version. In all cases, we recommend Chrome.

What is bandwidth and how is it calculated?

In our application, it means total transferred data - i.e. incoming and outgoing data together. A typical user will never exceed their bandwidth limit. If you receive a notification that you have used up all your bandwidth, it's not a problem. Purchase one of our plans and you can continue to work with our application as needed.

Can the application be used as a company ftp?

Yes, if you have the PRO plan, you can set up your own domain. Let your suppliers know about your domain, and senders can then fill in your email address and upload data. Expiration of data sent through your domain is governed by your profile, so the sender doesn't need to have a paid profile - you'll receive your data quickly, and it will expire based on your plan (in either 20 or 30 days). You can then save the data indefinitely in your storage, where it won’t expire.

The recipient is not a paid user. Will they have priority download based on my plan?

I get the message “unable to read file...” – What should i do?

This notification indicates that the application has detected a change in the file's size or location. This happens, for example, when sending data from an external device, a network device, or the like, when the device denies access to files or changes them incrementally. The device where the file is located must be made available again, and the application will continue the transfer. If the data has been modified (resaved, data incrementally written by the system, etc.), the transfer must be repeated and steps taken to ensure that the file size remains the same throughout the transfer, such as by zipping the file before sending.

How does transfer expiration work?

Transfers expire based on your plan (be sure you are logged in before using the application to ensure your transfers have the correct expiration). If you have a paid plan, transfers can also be saved indefinitely to your storage and shared from there. Data saved in your storage does not expire.
The "progress link" - the link that displays throughout the transfer and that is shareable while the transfer is still taking place – expires based on the sender's plan.
For example, if the recipient has a paid plan and the sender has a free plan, the recipient will find the transfer link, which expires based on the sender’s plan, in their list of incoming/outgoing transfers.
Expiration periods can be extended even for active and undeleted transfers retroactively by purchasing one of our paid plans. When you buy a plan, the expiration period of all transfers in your profile's incoming and outgoing directories is automatically extended.

Zip archives larger than 4 GB can’t be unzipped on mac os. What’s the problem?

For some time now, there has been a problem with systems running older versions of MacOS not being able to open zip files larger than 4 GB using the standard system utility if the data was not zipped using the same utility. If you download a file larger than 4 GB on MacOS, either download the transfer as individual files (if your browser supports this - we recommend Chrome) or download as a zip file but use something other than the system utility to unzip it – we’ve successfully tested iZip Unarchiver and WinZip for Mac. Data over 4 GB in size that is zipped using the standard MacOS system utility will only be able to be unzipped using the same utility. If the recipient uses a different system, we recommend zipping the data (above 4 GB) using something other than the standard MacOS system utility or send the data unzipped.
On systems running newer versions of MacOS, this problem has been largely eliminated. However, problems still occur if you try to unzip an archive which contains at least one file that is larger than 4 GB using the standard MacOS system utility.
