How to Upload Your Project Files

Found on this page is our preferred file upload technology provided by Transfer Big Files. This is used by customers who have files that may be up to a maximum of 2 GB each. As a rule of thumb, e-mail was never designed as a file transfer protocol, it has always been designed for text messages with optional small images included. Email exchangers have a limited overhead file size, therefore if anything over a couple of megabytes must be sent, a cloud-dropping application is required. As an option, if you have smaller files, you can use our quote form and upload them at the same time while submitting the form.

The upload widget will securely upload your files to our file management area. We prefer the file(s) to be uploaded in a .ZIP  or .SIT archive format using the popular FREE applications WinZip or Stuffit for Mac or PC. We also suggest WinRAR for the PC as it supports many formats like RAR and .Z7 format archives if other options are not available.  Make sure each archive uploaded is uniquely named! No spaces, however a dash as separators are acceptable. “projectname-031209-part1of5.zip” as an example.  Please do not password-protect the archives, as such will only delay production.

File Uploads Take A Few Minutes

Please be patient, if you are uploading anything upwards of 2 GIGs of data, it could take up to 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your internet connection speed. Feel free to contact us during business hours if you require any assistance.
