Direct file transfer software for computers and NAS.
Send project files from the device that holds them to the device that needs them. When a direct connection is available, WarpDirect transfers the files without storing an intermediate copy in the cloud.
Transfer between your devices without a separate cloud upload.
A cloud share link is useful when recipients need to download later. For a handoff between two connected devices, a direct transfer avoids staging the files first. Both endpoints need to be online, and actual speed depends on the connection and storage at each end.
Install the WarpSend Agent on both devices and pair them with your account before selecting the source files and receiving folder. When a direct route is unavailable, paid UDP plans include Shuttle fallback through encrypted cloud staging. Check UDP plans and endpoint capacity for the speed ceiling and routes available to your team.
Files are uploaded to cloud storage, then downloaded by the recipient.
A successful direct connection carries files between endpoints without cloud storage.
Large files and large folders use the same transfer workflow.
A production master and a folder of image sequences place different demands on a transfer. WarpDirect adjusts its handling to the workload, so you can send either without manually splitting files or creating an archive first.
One large project
Thousands of small assets
Transfer behavior adapts to your files and network conditions.
Performance isn’t just about bandwidth. It depends on file size, file count, latency, and changing network conditions. WarpDirect adapts in real time to maximize throughput — without manual tuning. Results vary by route, hardware, and workload.
Adaptive transfer
Optimizes transfer behavior based on the workload in front of it.
Parallel transfers
Uses concurrent transfers to make better use of available bandwidth.
Network-aware optimization
Automatically responds to changing network conditions.
Cross-platform
Works across Windows, macOS, Linux, and NAS.
Resume an interrupted transfer from verified progress.
If a connection drops or a laptop sleeps, WarpDirect keeps track of verified progress. When the endpoints reconnect, the transfer resumes and checks the received files for integrity.
Reconnected after a network drop — continued from the last verified block.
Automatic resume
Resume from verified progress after the connection returns.
Integrity verification
Every transferred file is automatically verified for accuracy on arrival.
End-to-end encryption
Protect data while it’s moving directly between devices.
Send files across your workflow, from source material to finished work.
Video production
Move camera originals, edited masters, and project archives.
