Fast Transfer Mode

Fast Transfer Mode delivers the highest performance for uploading and downloading large files. It is optimized for speed, reliability, and secure file exchange between users and systems.

Fast Transfer Mode can be launched by opening the Files.com Desktop application interface. On Windows, launch it from the system tray Files.com menu or by searching for “Files.com Desktop” in the Start menu. On macOS, launch it from the menu bar Files.com icon or by opening the Files.com Desktop app from Applications or via Spotlight search.

The interface is simple and intuitive, featuring drag-and-drop functionality with the local file system displayed in the left pane and Files.com content in the right pane. Users can upload, download, create folders, rename, delete, move, and copy files directly from the interface. Transfers can be paused or canceled at any time, and progress is clearly displayed with success and failure tracking.

Automatic retries and overwrite options are also supported and can be configured in Settings or Preferences.

Pause and Resume Transfers

In Fast Transfer mode, the Files.com Desktop App supports pausing and resuming file uploads and downloads. When transfers are active, users can pause or resume transfers from the bottom right of the app. The right-click context menu on active transfers provides a Process Queue option for managing transfers.

Paused transfers preserve their progress and remain visible in the Transfers tab. Paused transfers persist even if the app is quit and relaunched. The progress bar reflects the actual data already transferred. After relaunch, click Resume Transfers to finish the remaining transfers.

Resuming a transfer picks up where it left off. For uploads, the Desktop App tracks completed parts of each file, so partially uploaded multipart transfers do not start over. For downloads, partially downloaded files are preserved on disk, and the transfer continues from the last written byte. For folder transfers, files already completed before the pause are not transferred again.
