Many Pieces At Once
Files break into chunks that move in parallel, and many files move at the same time. A big transfer uses the whole pipe instead of trickling through one stream.
Large Transfers That Actually Finish
Legacy tools were built when "large" meant gigabytes. The result is the transfer that crawls for hours and dies at 95%, the multi-terabyte move that needs babysitting overnight, and the proprietary acceleration appliance with a license bill to match. Moving real volume shouldn’t be a project every time.
Files.com is built to move petabytes over ordinary internet connections. Files break into chunks that move in parallel, many files move at once, transfers resume from where they stopped, and every byte is checked on arrival. Across billions of files a year, more than 99.99% of transfers finish successfully. The big move stops being a Tuesday-night project and becomes just another Tuesday.
How Files.com Moves Files This Fast
The transfer engine runs the same way across the web app, the SFTP server, the API, and the desktop and on-prem apps — built for volume, distance, and unreliable networks.
Picks Up Where It Stopped
A dropped connection doesn’t send you back to zero. Transfers resume from the point they stopped and retry through network hiccups on their own — so the multi-terabyte move finishes instead of failing at 95%.
Checked End To End
Every transfer runs an integrity check, so what arrives is exactly what you sent. Across billions of files a year, Files.com finishes more than 99.99% of transfers successfully.
Close To Wherever You Are
Acceleration servers run across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, and connections route to the closest available pool — so distance is far less of a tax on speed.
Two Ways To Go Fast
Without Installing Anything
The web uploader, the SFTP and FTP server, and the API are heavily optimized to run fast over standard protocols with standard clients. The drag-and-drop web upload alone is among the fastest anywhere — and it works for someone who installs nothing at all.
When You Want Absolute Maximum Speed
Pair the Files.com Agent with the Desktop App and turn on Turbo Transfer mode. The Agent uses custom UDP-based transport over a 100 Gbit network to push the highest throughput Files.com offers — benchmarked 2–5× faster than traditional SFTP and FTP clients.
The Speed You’d Buy Aspera For, Without The Appliance
Aspera and Signiant sell proprietary UDP acceleration as an appliance with per-seat licensing and lock-in. Files.com beats those tools on speed over standard protocols, using parallel streams, chunking, and smart retry and resume. It has proven it against the toughest bar in the market: the largest media companies moving enormous volumes of video every day.
And when a workload specifically wants UDP — long-haul intercontinental moves, multi-terabyte single files, lossy networks — Files.com ships its own custom UDP-based acceleration in the Agent. So UDP is an option you can have, not a requirement you pay for. The same engine is available programmatically through the official SDKs and CLI for Go, Java, Node, .NET, PHP, Python, and Ruby.

Move Your Heaviest Files Without The Wait
Start a free trial and push a multi-gigabyte file through the web uploader, or pair the Agent and Desktop App for the absolute maximum. Either way, the big transfer finishes — no appliance, no per-seat bill.
