Performance (Speed) at Scale

Files aren’t getting smaller. Media teams ship multi-GB videos every hour. Financial institutions reconcile millions of records overnight. Healthcare moves imaging sets that dwarf office docs by orders of magnitude. In this world, speed and reliability aren’t “nice to have”—they are the workflow.

Files.com is built for that reality. Our cloud-native platform delivers elastic performance so every transfer—whether 1 GB or 5 TB—moves fast, finishes reliably, and scales without drama.

Built for modern throughput

Performance on Files.com isn’t an add-on; it’s in the architecture. Capacity expands automatically with your workload, so you never wrestle with cluster sizing or weekend tuning.

Transfers are optimized end-to-end for both massive single objects and huge collections of small files, using multi-gigabit pipelines and parallelism that saturate available bandwidth without manual fiddling.

  • Chunked, resumable transfers with end-to-end integrity checks mean interruptions don’t become restarts.
  • Intelligent retries with exponential backoff keep jobs moving even when networks hiccup.
  • Seven production regions (NA, EU, APAC) plus regional acceleration put data close to users without performance trade-offs.

Fast uploads, without the fuss

Whether you’re uploading huge files (up to 5 TB each), many files (we support unlimited items per folder), or both—you want it done fast.

  • Drag-and-drop in the web app uploads large files in parallel automatically.
  • 10 Gbit/sec internet connectivity via AWS ensures the server-side pipe won’t be your bottleneck.
  • Prefer a protocol client? FTP/FTPS/FTPeS/SFTP work great—just turn up concurrency. For big folders, we generally see best results at 10–50 concurrent files (our web interface handles this automatically).

Fast downloads—globally

Your files are safe and sound—but teams and partners need them now, from everywhere.

  • Regional acceleration servers let users connect closer to home, then ride a clean, dedicated path to your storage region.
  • One-click download for quick grabs, or sync and remote mounts when you want downstream systems (SharePoint, Azure, S3, SFTP, etc.) to stay current automatically.

A snappy interface that teams actually like

Speed isn’t just bandwidth. Our web app and native Desktop & Mobile apps are tuned to feel instant and obvious, so admins and end users get productive fast. Browse giant folders, preview files, kick off transfers, and orchestrate automations with minimal clicks. Need to see a partner’s repository without copying it in? Remote Server Mounts render their storage live inside Files.com—no waiting, no duplication.

While we fully support SFTP/FTP for legacy flows, our native apps are faster and more secure. Use them when performance matters most.

What you’ll feel day-to-day

  • Faster time-to-done. Multi-terabyte moves complete without babysitting.
  • No more “95% failed.” Large transfers resume and finish reliably.
  • Less toil. Teams stop doing bandwidth math and start hitting deadlines.
  • Headroom on demand. Spikes stop being projects; they’re just Tuesday.

Why Files.com over legacy MFT

  • Elastic SaaS vs. static servers. No appliances, cluster spreadsheets, or failover scripts.
  • Petabyte-friendly by design. Legacy tools were built when “large” meant gigabytes. We run billions of transfers per year at global scale.
  • Resumable, integrity-checked transfers—built in. Not bolted on with custom scripts.
  • Edge presence. Regional routing minimizes latency vs. a single on-prem/hosted box.

Proof you can point to

  • >99.99% successful transfer rate across billions of files annually.
  • Customers process multi-terabyte workloads daily—no special tuning.
  • Real-world resilience through regional cloud incidents with zero customer downtime.
  • Benchmarks up to 2–5x faster than traditional SFTP/FTP clients using our Desktop App's Turbo Transfer mode.

The bottom line

Files.com delivers elastic scaling, high-throughput transfers, and bulletproof retry logic so your data doesn’t just move—it flows. Grow tenfold without re-platforming, ship on time without midnight fire drills, and keep every team, partner, and region working at full speed.
