Welcome to FileRunner, your straightforward web-based file delivery tool tailored for the Film and Entertainment industry. Designed with a commitment to simplicity, FileRunner allows you to easily share multiple files or folders of any size through your web browser. No need for additional plug-ins, application downloads, or transfer servers – getting your teams up and running is quick and straightforward.
FileRunner stands out from other file transfer services by being specifically optimized for the types of files common in our industry. It seamlessly supports both the large volumes of small files typical of dailies delivery or early stages in the creation process and the single large files more typical in the later stages of production.
How does it work?
FileRunner bundles your files into packages, swiftly uploading them to the nearest server using multi-threaded TCP uploads. This accelerates the transfer, reaching multi-gigabit per second speeds based on your available bandwidth. Rest assured, our TCP protocol is not only fast but also network-friendly, ensuring a smooth transfer without disrupting your office network. No need to worry about licenses based on transfer speed or file volume – you're free to upload unlimited files of any size at the speed your connection allows.
Once your files are uploaded, we keep you informed. Users receive email notifications of incoming packages along with a download link for easy access. To maintain the directory structure on download a .tar file is provided, which can be unpacked post-download. Packages remain accessible for 10 days by default, but users can choose to store and share files within a preset access period anytime within a 15-day window post-upload.
FileRunner’s simplicity and speed give time back to your creative teams to focus on what they do best.
