Fast Transfer Mode is the Files.com Desktop App's high-throughput interface for uploading and downloading large files. Use it when transfer speed matters more than working with files in place through a mount.

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 uses drag-and-drop, with the local file system in the left pane and Files.com content in the right pane. You can upload, download, create folders, and rename, delete, move, or copy files directly from the interface. Transfers can be paused or canceled at any time, and the interface tracks progress, successes, and failures.

Automatic retries and overwrite options are configured in Settings or Preferences.

Pause and Resume Transfers

Fast Transfer Mode supports pausing and resuming file uploads and downloads. While transfers are active, pause or resume them 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, and they persist even if the app is quit and relaunched. The progress bar reflects the data already transferred. After relaunch, click Resume Transfers to finish the remaining transfers.

Resuming picks up where the transfer 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.
