How it works
Users can upload files through the web interface or via API, with the Large File Transfer Service supporting resumable uploads for large files. Upon successful upload, a secure download link is generated, which can optionally be sent directly to the recipient via email. The recipient, upon receiving the download link, can securely download the file, with the service ensuring that only authorised recipients have access. Additionally, users receive notifications of successful uploads and downloads, and detailed tracking logs are available for auditing purposes.
