Frequently Answered Questions

Unlimited

trans.atlantic.io is a prototype project. As it is not a commercial product, there are not unlimited resources. But as long as the environment can handle the load, you can run unlimited transfers.

Unregistered users are currently limited to 3 transfers a day. Just register an account to get access to the unlimited transfers feature. It's free.

Secure

trans.atlantic.io will only work over an encrypted connection (TLS). Every upload & download is secure.

All data is stored encrypted in the database with the exception of the e-mail addresses, as we need them to send you notifications.

Some log data is stored for abuse prevention. There are no e-mail-addresses visible in the log data. You can investigate your data here.

All stored files reside on our own hardware in Switzerland.

You still need to be aware, that your transfered files are intended to be available to others via internet. Anybody who gets a download link, will have access to the file.

Swiss

trans.atlantic.io is privately developed in Zurich, Switzerland. All infrastructure is located in Zurich too. The technologies used base on Open Source projects.

The main parts are built with PHP and libsodium.

How large can a transfer be?

All files together can not exceed 4GB per transfer. Just run a second one, if you need to transfer more.

How long is a transfer valid?

Transfers expire after 14 days and are removed permanently and automatically from the system. There is no way to recover a transfer.

It's not working!

This system makes usage of the latest browser technologies, perhaps your browser doesn't support it yet. You can try our more simple upload form.
