Best Way to Upload Large Files Fast from Any Location

Share:

Even in today’s digitally connected world, when business processes require users to upload files larger than 1GB, challenges remain due to file size limits in business applications, high latency connections and users working from remote locations. To address these problems, some organizations continue to use outdated FTP servers or allow the use of consumer file sharing apps. Unfortunately, these methods can lead to compromising the security of sensitive intellectual property, lack tracking and logging mechanisms and have slow file upload speeds over long distances.

Modern managed file transfer (MFT) solutions provide ad hoc file sharing capabilities to overcome these issues. In this post, we will explain why Thru’s ad hoc file sharing service as part of our MFT offering is the preferred way for businesses to upload and share large files of any size, while dramatically increasing security and upload speeds.

The Ultimate Fast File Uploading Solution for Businesses

With Thru’s file sharing service, companies can provide large file upload functionality for an unlimited number of internal and external users in two primary ways:

  • Thru’s web browser application, enabling internal users to upload large files securely and share them in folders with other internal users.
  • Thru Dropbox™ service, allowing external users such as customers, partners and vendors to upload large files to your company’s Thru file sharing site, without having to sign up for an account.

Continue to the next sections to see how to upload large files from anywhere using the Thru web application and Thru Dropbox.

Upload Large Files from the Thru Web Browser Application

Your internal users can upload large files into shared company folders by using the Thru web application. This application can be used from any web browser and allows users to drag and drop files of any size. Additionally, users can pause the upload and resume later.

Receive Large Files Without Registration via Thru Dropbox™

Each user on the Thru file sharing platform automatically receives a Thru Dropbox™ folder for receiving files from external users. Thru users can create a link to their Thru Dropbox and include it in email signatures or web pages—or any place a link address can be inserted—so their contacts can easily upload large files to them with no registration requirements. The Thru Dropbox file upload form also gives an uploader the option of sending the Thru user a private, encrypted message when transferring sensitive information like social security or credit card numbers.
