    About FileMail

    Filemail is a specialized file transfer service founded in 2008 that focuses on the transmission of large files and folders. Unlike many cloud storage providers, Filemail positions itself as a 'Managed File Transfer' (MFT) solution capable of handling files of 'any size' without the typical restrictions found in consumer-grade services. It utilizes UDP transfer acceleration to maximize bandwidth usage, which is particularly beneficial for professionals in media and film industries. The service provides multiple ways to interact with data, including a web interface, mobile apps, and dedicated desktop clients for Windows, Mac, and Linux that support automatic downloads and resuming interrupted transfers. For corporate environments, it offers advanced security features like 2-factor authentication, SAML/SSO, and the ability to choose specific data storage locations to meet compliance requirements. It explicitly claims compliance with a wide array of international security standards including ISO27001 and GDPR.
