Need to Transfer Large Folder and Big Files?

Businesses are very familiar with large folder and big files. For example CAD drawings are large files in general with many embedded external links to adjacent files in the folder. Another example is Adobe InDesign files. InDesign files are actually a folder full of files with one main file and many media files referenced by the main .indd file.

When it comes to transfer large folder and big files over the Internet to business partners, quite often, sending these large files by email isn't always possible.

OLD WAY OF LARGE FOLDER TRANSFER

Transfer Large Folder as a Zip File

It is a common practice to zip up a large folder into a super big single zip file. Thus the problem of large folder transfer becomes transferring a very large file. However, this reduces the folder structure into a single file, losing the granularity of files in case that a design needs to be reviewed back and forth multiple times between two remote teams. Does each team need to zip the whole folder into one single file and send it back just for a review of a small change? 

A better approach will be for both side to see the large folder structure as-is and edit in place with comments and version control.

NEW WAY OF LARGE FOLDER TRANSFER

Transfer Large Folder as a Linked-Drive

A modern approach of transferring large folder is to first convert it into a web-link with several protection and authentication parameters. After the receiving party receives the web-link, a cloud drive mapper is provided to view the large folder as a mounted drive letter in Windows Explorer or Mac finder. Changes inside the shared folder will be recorded as versions and comments to the changes can be documented along side the files inside the folder.

If you are still using emails or zip files to send large files, this modern approach will save you a lot of time transferring and sharing large folders over the Internet.

Transfer Large Folders with Web Links and Cloud Mapped Drive

The Solution

With CentreStack, you can easily transfer large files to anyone from a familiar mapped drive on your Windows or Mac desktop, mobile application, or web browser. Simply create a shared link for the large file or folder and then send the link to the intended recipients to initiate the large folder transfer. The recipient will have a mapped drive interface to view or edit (if editing is allowed) the files inside.
