Files.com delivers multi-hundred-gigabyte files to external partners at full speed: genomics runs, software builds, finished media, recurring data products. Single files up to 5 TB move over a 100 Gbit network with chunked, resumable transfers, and the recipient never installs a proprietary client to get that speed.
A 200 GB handoff is where the usual tools quit on you. Email and consumer links cap out with no record the file arrived, FTP stalls and dies at 90% overnight, and the proprietary speed tools make your recipient install a client their IT won’t approve.
Every delivery is a branded link under your own domain that expires on schedule, and every download is captured in an immutable audit log. When the job runs in reverse and a customer sends you a multi-gigabyte data dump, the same branded surface collects it. This is the File Orchestration Platform doing the delivery, not another single-purpose tool.
This simulator shows representative performance of real transfer workloads moved using the Files.com Desktop or CLI apps. Yes, you can really achieve the speeds demonstrated here.
You’ve been told for years that you need a special UDP protocol, and a special app on the recipient’s machine, to move big files fast. You don’t. Files.com is genuinely fast, and the recipient brings nothing but a browser.
A partner pulls a multi-hundred-gigabyte delivery from a browser, a standard SFTP client, or a share link. There is no proprietary transfer app to put on their machine first, so the delivery doesn’t wait on their IT team to approve and install one.
Files.com splits a file into chunks and sends them in parallel, so transfers through the Files.com apps run 2-5× faster than a normal SFTP or FTP client. Your actual speed depends on your network, the source, and the file size. Files.com is built to use the whole connection instead of pushing one slow stream at a time.
For transfers across oceans or over flaky networks that drop packets, the Files.com Agent can send over UDP (UDP first, falling back to TCP on outbound port 8801), so a delivery that TCP would stall on still gets through. The Desktop App’s Turbo Transfer mode runs your everyday transfers through the same fast, chunked engine.
If the connection drops 180 GB into a 200 GB transfer, it picks up from where it stopped instead of starting over, and checks every chunk for corruption along the way. The delivery finishes on its own, so no one has to sit and watch it.
“We tested about five different cloud FTPs and Files.com had much faster download and upload speeds. Plus they have a great user interface with a lot of features.”
“As a large furniture manufacturer handling a high volume of high-resolution images, it makes everything effortless. The platform is secure, easy to use, and reliable — even when transferring large files.”
Real companies. Real file flows. Real results.
A transfer-only tool moves the bytes and leaves you to build the rest yourself. A Files.com delivery already has the sharing controls, the fast transfer, the intake, and the audit log together on one platform you run all year. It is not a throwaway link, and not a server someone has to babysit.
Send one file, many files, or a whole folder as a single share link that opens a page on your own domain. The recipient needs no Files.com account, and when you send more than one file they get a download-everything-as-a-ZIP button.
Set an expiration date and a password, limit it so only the recipient’s company can open it, make it single-use, and set a go-live date so you can prepare a delivery before it opens. The link can’t outlive the deal and sit downloadable on the open internet after the job is done.
A permanent Inbox takes uploads at a fixed web address or email address, with no account required, accepting multi-gigabyte files over the same fast engine. Uploaders never see each other’s files, so one partner can’t open another partner’s data.
A snapshot link freezes the files exactly as they were the moment you created it. You get a record of precisely what you delivered on what date, ready for the rights-holder or auditor who asks about it later.
The job runs in reverse just as often. A software or data vendor needs every customer to send a big data dump in to get set up, migrate, or be analyzed: a database export, a log archive, a data extract. A branded Inbox gives every customer the same drop point, so onboarding never stalls while your team improvises a way to receive the file.
Pair the Inbox with a delivery link and the outside party gets one branded page that both sends and collects: the corrected dataset coming back, the results going out, next month’s data product going out again.
Three versions of the same problem: the file is huge, the recipient is outside your company, the deadline is real, and you have to be able to prove the delivery happened.
A sequencing core finishes a run and owes a multi-terabyte dataset to a research collaborator or CRO. One sequencing company moves runs on the order of 100 TB in hours, to scientists who are not network engineers.
Ship a build or a recurring data product out to named customers with a download record you can point to. Collect the large data dumps customers send in to onboard, migrate, or analyze. Same job, both directions.
Push finished masters to stations, partners, and rights-holders. One station group delivers to 130-plus local TV stations on automated SFTP, share links, and inboxes, and three people govern all of it.
Aspera and Signiant are the premium, UDP-acceleration products you compare this against, and both cost more than Files.com. Files.com matches their speed for the jobs that need it, through the Files.com Agent and the fast transfer engine. You feel the difference on every new partner. Getting their speed means their client installed on the receiving end. A Files.com recipient just uses a browser or a normal SFTP client.
Files.com also comes with everything a transfer-only tool leaves out: branded delivery links, inboxes, automatic routing, a real interface, and an audit log no one can edit. Plans start at $199/month.
A Kyndryl-owned hostname, fixed IP addresses, and one-for-one path mapping let established z/OS workflows keep running across tightly controlled client environments.

What teams ask most when delivering enormous files to external partners.
Files.com delivers a large file as a secure share link: one file, many files, or a whole folder as a single URL on a page under your own domain, with no account and no app for the recipient to install. The transfer engine moves single files up to 5 TB over a 100 Gbit network with chunked, resumable transfers, and every download is recorded in an immutable audit log.
Files.com moves single files up to 5 TB end-to-end without manual chunking. Larger workloads like multi-terabyte genomics runs and full media archives move as multi-file deliveries over the same chunked, parallel, resumable engine, which resumes from the interruption point rather than from zero if a connection drops mid-transfer.
Files.com is a direct alternative to Aspera and Signiant: it delivers large files at full speed without forcing the recipient to install a proprietary client, which is the friction those tools create on every new partner. For long-haul and lossy networks that want UDP acceleration, the Files.com Agent ships UDP-based transmission. The platform also adds branded delivery links, inboxes, automation, and a complete audit trail around the transfer, which are the parts a transport-only product leaves you to assemble.
A recipient downloads a Files.com delivery with an ordinary browser, a standard SFTP client, or a share link. There is no Files.com account to create and no proprietary transfer app to install before the download starts. The page the recipient lands on carries your domain and branding, not a consumer service’s.
Files.com collects inbound files through an Inbox: a permanent, branded intake at a fixed URL or email address that accepts multi-gigabyte uploads like a database export, a log archive, or a data extract. No account is required, and uploaders never see each other’s submissions. Every arrival is recorded in the audit log, and you can pair an Inbox with a share link so one branded page both delivers and collects.
Chunked, parallel transfer through the Files.com apps runs 2-5× faster than traditional SFTP and FTP clients, and the Files.com Agent adds UDP-based transmission for intercontinental long-haul and lossy networks. The actual rate depends on your network, the source, and the file size and count. Files.com saturates the available link rather than pushing a single serial stream.
Files.com captures every share creation, recipient access, and download as a discrete event in the audit log, retained for years and exportable to your SIEM. A snapshot link also freezes the delivered contents at the moment of creation, so you have a defensible record of exactly what was delivered, to whom, and when. That is the answer when a customer disputes receipt or a rights-holder asks who touched a master.
Every Files.com share link can carry an expiration date, a password, a recipient-domain restriction so only the buying organization’s addresses resolve, a single-use limit, and a publish date to stage a delivery before it opens. The link dies on schedule instead of living forever on a consumer service no one governs.
Files.com Starter is $199/month and includes the full transfer engine, share links, inboxes, and the audit log with no per-feature surcharge. Start on Starter; when a workload grows past the included counts, overages are cheap rather than a forced tier jump. Full tier and overage detail is on the pricing page.
Put the dataset in a folder on Files.com, or mount the bucket it already lives in, and give the client a login or a share link scoped to it. Transfers run in parallel chunks and resume after a dropped connection, so a multi-terabyte imagery set, database copy, or sequencing run moves over the network at the client’s line speed instead of on a courier’s schedule.
Yes. A share link to a folder lets the recipient download its contents as one archive from the browser, or connect over SFTP and pull the tree with their own client. Either way the delivery is one link, and the audit log records what was taken and when.
Single files up to 5 TB over a 100 Gbit network, a branded link the recipient just clicks, and an immutable audit trail on every download, starting at $199/month. Run a real delivery during the 7-day free trial.
