Whether contracts, business documents or holiday photos - the digital exchange of files is indispensable today. Sending and receiving them easily and safely is not always straightforward, especially with large amounts of data. Usually, cloud-based drive solutions or sending by email attachment are used. A representative survey by the market research institute intervista shows that two-thirds of Swiss people already use file-sharing platforms.
Data security holds a central place in discussions. Nearly 80 percent of respondents rate it as important for data to be stored in Switzerland when using file transfer services. More than 70 percent want services that offer enhanced transfer oversight and more management options.
Simple and Secure File Sharing with Hostpoint Quality
Hostpoint now offers a secure and completely Swiss-hosted file transfer platform with File Express (https://www.file-express.com/). The range of features sets new benchmarks: users can start sending files of any kind without registration and entirely for free. Registered users benefit from additional features such as comprehensive transfer management, password protection, and file request options. The latter is particularly useful when documents need to be requested. Additionally, paid subscription options with extra storage space and additional security and privacy features such as end-to-end encryption and geoblocking are available.
For Businesses as well as Individuals
Aside from exchanging private data, secure file transfers are also crucial for businesses. For instance, architectural firms, photographers and filmmakers, agencies, software companies, or law firms rely on large files and data volumes reaching the recipient simply and securely. With File Express, they benefit from an exclusively Swiss-hosted solution that simplifies transfer management and offers complete traceability and high data security.
Proven Concepts Taken to a New Level
File Express is based on a proven, pre- existing software solution from Hostpoint's subsidiary Swiss Cyber Gate. This existing application has been developed into an entirely new web app with numerous additional features and a user-friendly, highly modern interface thanks to Hostpoint's expertise and experience. Like all products, Hostpoint places particular emphasis on usability, security, performance, and top-notch support for File Express.
Yvan Knapp, Chief Strategy Officer & Head of Product at Hostpoint, is enthusiastic about the new offering: "With File Express, we are expanding our portfolio with a solution that sets standards. We not only offer the most modern, secure, and functionally comprehensive file transfer solution, but also an experience that thrills. Completely from Switzerland, but for the whole world!"
