How does it work?
FileRunner bundles your files into packages, swiftly uploading them to the nearest server using multi-threaded TCP uploads. This accelerates the transfer, reaching multi-gigabit per second speeds based on your available bandwidth. Rest assured, our TCP protocol is not only fast but also network-friendly, ensuring a smooth transfer without disrupting your office network. No need to worry about licenses based on transfer speed or file volume – you're free to upload unlimited files of any size at the speed your connection allows.
Once your files are uploaded, we keep you informed. Users receive email notifications of incoming packages along with a download link for easy access. To maintain the directory structure on download a .tar file is provided, which can be unpacked post-download. Packages remain accessible for 10 days by default, but users can choose to store and share files within a preset access period anytime within a 15-day window post-upload.
FileRunner’s simplicity and speed give time back to your creative teams to focus on what they do best.
