FILE TRANSFER OVERVIEW
How Does it Work?
FilesDIRECT is a web-based file transfer service designed to help businesses and organizations send large files and receive large files from multiple contacts (like clients and contractors). FilesDIRECT spares you the hassles of FTP and the limitations of email.
The premise is simple: clients and contractors are sending large files and receiving large files all the time, but email transfers are slow and unreliable. FilesDIRECT lets users send or receive files without the hassle of logging in to an account.
FilesDIRECT is about ease of use. Your contacts do not need FilesDIRECT accounts to send files or receive files from you: only you or your organization will require an account with FilesDIRECT.
Receive Large Files
When you sign up with FilesDIRECT, our system generates a web page specifically for your contacts to send large files to you. When someone wants to start sending large files, they just visit this web page, choose which file they would like to send, click “Send” and the process is complete! The files will be stored on the FilesDIRECT server, secured and easy for you to access.
FilesDIRECT automatically sends two emails upon a successful transfer: a confirmation to the sender, and a notification to the user. The user logs into FilesDIRECT and downloads the files as needed. FilesDIRECT is designed for large file transfer and each file can be up to 2GB in size! All files uploaded to your account remain on the server until you remove them.
Sending Large Files
You can send files stored in your FilesDIRECT account to anyone: clients, contractors or friends. Just log into your account, select which files your want to send and enter the email addresses of your desired recipients. Your recipients will receive an email notification that the files are ready to be picked up. A simple click on a link in the email and the transfer will start! Sending large files has never been so easy or so reliable.
All file transfers with FilesDIRECT are secured with SSL (128-bit) encryption, the same level of encryption used by online banks and major retailers like Amazon.com. Each FilesDIRECT user’s files are kept in separate locations, visible and accessible only to their rightful account holder.
