Features - Large File Transfer

A business-class, hassle-free large file transfer solution. Send large files without FTP or complex tools like Sharepoint.

For every road-warrior, field engineer, remote office or outside salesperson who has ever needed on-demand, hassle-free large file transfer without fuss, Egnyte Cloud File Server is a dream to use for transferring large files between co-workers, clients and business partners. Egnyte eliminates the hassles of file attachment size limits (e.g. with e-mail), as well as confusing and complicated custom setups in the case of setting up traditional FTP for large file transfers. Egnyte accommodates large file transfer with a variety of file upload methods for your convenience and depending on your needs.

Large file transfer at the speed of your business

We understand that sharing files over FTP is never an easy prospect. You've likely encountered issues surrounding firewalls, slow downloads, software incompatibilities, and timeouts - not to mention co-workers and clients who just can't seem to wrap their hands around the technical side of things! The Egnyte Cloud File Server is optimized for the hassle-free upload and storage of any file type, regardless of size. Even the largest files - such as CAD drawings and Photoshop® images can be easily transferred, stored, secured and shared across a wide-range of Internet connection speeds using Egnyte.

Think of Egnyte as a virtually limitless repository or vault for all your files. Your service comes standard with 20 GB, 150 GB or 1 TB of online storage - and additional storage can be purchased and added to your account as needed. Once you have created your private and public file folders with various degrees of access control (read-only, read/write, read/write/delete), you can delegate employee and client access rights, then upload your files.

Large file transfer that is convenient and simple-to-manage

Once you have uploaded your critical business files, you can share them from your desktop or on-the-go from a remote computer or smartphone without using email or a dedicated, expensive FTP solution. Instead of emailing around large, bandwidth-hogging attachments or providing your co-workers, colleagues and clients with difficult-to-remember logins for a difficult-to-use FTP site, you simply send out a link. Links can be shared internally with members of your team via email, or made publically available over your blog and website - even your Twitter or Facebook account! There iss no software required for file transfer - large or small - and you control how long the file is available for access. So go ahead and share that one file or that big overstuffed folder; all you have to do is make an easy-to-click, simple-to-understand link available to your team.

Hassle-free security for large file transfer

It's not just easy to upload and distribute large files with Egnyte - it's also easy to protect them from unauthorized access. You control viewing and editing privileges, including expiration dates for your links, limiting how long they remain accessible (or "clickable"). You can choose to receive an automatic notification when a new file is posted or modified, and a complete file access and revision history is always available to you.
