The Best Way to Send Large Files


Expert Author Scott F HortonAs technology improves and hard drive space grows, it becomes extremely common to need to transfer large files with a friend or colleague. For those involved in the media business such as audio engineers and video professionals, this holds extremely true as raw file size can be a few gigabytes just for one project.
I've used other free large file sending services such as WeTransfer, YouSendIt, MediaFire, and SendSpace, and while the services work well, they after cap the upload limit at 2GB.
Gobbler is a revelation for audio professionals who need to not only transfer large files to and from clients, but also backup their media in the cloud. Gobbler's backup service allows users to store unlimited projects in the cloud based on their usage plan. The software automatically scans files and folders on your hard drive to find audio projects from a range of digital audio workstations and backs up the complete session folder. This is a great safety net for audio engineers in case of hard drive failure or local catastrophe.
The actual file sending is also revolutionary. Gobbler uses propriety compression technology which is quick and more efficient than ZIP and RAR. Simply select the folder or file you need to send and Gobbler begins the upload process. The receiver gets an email notification with the download link, which they can either download via the Gobbler software for an extremely fast download, or via their web browser with average speeds. There is also no need for the sender to check up with the recipient to see if they got the file all right because Gobbler automatically notifies the sender that the file has been successfully downloaded by the receiver. No size limits, no ads, and quick reliable, secure file transfers.
As an audio engineer, Gobbler works wonders and clients appreciate the security and convenience it provides. All files are 256 AES encrypted and links can be designated as public or private, ensuring that sensitive data is not open to anyone with a link. The number of audio software programs which the program supports is staggering and growing. Anything from Logic, Pro Tools, Reaper, Cubase, Garage Band, Sonar, and more is automatically recognized and can be backed up or sent. Speed is also a major factor. I've been able to download files that are gigabytes in size in less than 4 minutes.
Whether you work in film or audio, next time you need to transfer big files, give Gobbler a try and you'll be impressed.
