Large File Sharing Built for Scale
Adaptive Block Caching (ABC)
Stop waiting on frozen screens and crashed apps by working together on complex design files in real time. CAD, Civil 3D, and Premiere Pro files perform like they are local, keeping your team fast and responsive.
Application Interoperability
Ensure massive and complex files function perfectly in the cloud. Native application awareness preserves file links and lock protocols for smooth, safe collaboration. Rely on a growing list of validated applications for total peace of mind for industry-specific work.
Predictive File Streaming
Content you need loads instantly. As you keep working, the rest of the blocks stream in intelligently, so projects run smoothly and responsively, free from frustrating interruptions like buffering or freezes.
Global File Locking
Your edits stay safe. When you open a file, everyone else sees it in read-only mode, so there's no risk of conflicting changes or lost work, no matter where your team is.
Optimized File Versioning
Syncing only changed file blocks means faster updates and effortless rollbacks, without moving the entire file. A persistent, up-to-date cache ensures your most recent version is always instantly available.

What is Adaptive Block Caching?
Adaptive Block Caching is Egnyte's technology for working with massive files — CAD drawings, BIM models, high-resolution video, large PDFs — without the full download-wait-reupload cycle of traditional file sync. Files stream to your desktop in small blocks and open faster, while only the blocks you actually changed sync back to the cloud. This makes cloud-based collaboration practical for file types that previously required local servers.
What are the primary benefits of Adaptive Block Caching?
The core benefits are faster file opens, reduced device strain, and cleaner version control. Files stream in blocks rather than downloading in full, so teams open and save massive documents without the overheating, freezing, or crashes typical of full-file sync. Versioning works at the block level: the current version is maintained as a full file, while past versions are stored as sets of block changes — eliminating fragmented copies scattered across storage locations.
Which applications and file types work with Adaptive Block Caching?
Adaptive Block Caching has been tested with widely used professional applications including Adobe Premiere Pro, ArcGIS, AutoCAD, and Civil 3D. The system generates blocks based on each file's size, component structure, and originating application. Egnyte continues expanding tested coverage in collaboration with customers, so the list of supported workflows grows over time as block-generation logic is refined for additional applications.
Which industries and workflows benefit most from Adaptive Block Caching?
Adaptive Block Caching is purpose-built for industries where large, complex files are the daily norm. In AEC, architects, engineers, and builders get LAN-speed access to CAD drawings, Revit models, and BIM files hosted in the cloud — without needing an on-premises appliance. In Media & Entertainment, video editors, designers, and reviewers can collaborate on massive renders and high-resolution assets without the performance degradation of traditional cloud sync.
How does Egnyte keep large files in sync across distributed offices without re-uploading everything?
Egnyte uses delta sync transmitting only the changed portions of a file rather than re-uploading the whole thing combined with range downloads so collaborators can start working before a full sync completes. For in-office teams, the Smart Cache virtual appliance delivers local file performance while staying cloud-connected, reducing bandwidth burden across distributed locations.
Does Egnyte preserve file linking and application locking for Revit, AutoCAD, and other AEC tools?
Yes. Egnyte's native application awareness preserves file linking structures and locking protocols so tools like Revit, AutoCAD, Rhino, and SketchUp work the same way in the cloud as they do locally. Egnyte maintains a certified application list, giving AEC and engineering teams confidence that complex file dependencies and linked model structures won't break when work moves to the cloud.
