Your day-to-day
What gets in the way today
The story lands after the deadline
Between the correspondent, master control and air, every minute of transfer counts — and every failed upload is paid for on air.
Correspondents aren’t equipped
Stringers and video journalists switch gear and connections constantly: you can’t impose an FTP server or an in-house account on each of them.
Who received what, and when?
Without traceability, you call master control to check the master arrived — every single edition.
With TransferNow
Your workflow, in three steps
- 1
Receive stories from the field
One upload link per newsroom (or per show): the correspondent drops off their package from any browser, and the newsroom is notified the second it lands.
- 2
Move elements between teams
Footage, edited packages, graphics: up to 500 GB per transfer across teams, folder structure intact.
- 3
Deliver masters to broadcasters
A password if needed, a notification on download: you know the channel has retrieved the master — without a call to master control.
Built for you
Media & audiovisual: the features that matter
500 GB per transfer
Sized for broadcast
4K packages, broadcast masters, multi-camera recordings: broadcast-scale volumes travel in a single link.
Byte for byte
The master arrives compliant
No recompression: MXF, ProRes and spec-compliant files travel as is, metadata included. The French broadcasters’ file-delivery spec (CST-RT-040) mandates XDCAM at 50 Mbps — ≈ 22.5 GB per hour of programming.
Team · 10 accounts
The whole newsroom equipped
The Team plan covers the team with multiple accounts and centralized administration — everyone runs their own transfers, on a single bill.
Notifications
Proof of receipt
Every download triggers a notification by name: the “did the channel get the master?” doubt disappears.
Desktop apps
Uploads under deadline
The Windows/macOS/Linux apps keep the upload running in the background — reliable even on location connections.

And against WeTransfer?
In a newsroom, stories go out every day: a quota of 10 monthly transfers is untenable. The comparison below speaks for itself.

| Transfers per month | Unlimited | 10 |

Frequently asked questions
How does a correspondent send their story without an account?
Through the newsroom’s upload link: they open it in their browser, drop off their files, and that’s it. The newsroom is notified with every drop.
Do spec-compliant files (broadcast masters, MXF) arrive unaltered?
Yes: no conversion, no recompression — the delivered file is strictly identical to the export, metadata included.
How do we equip an entire newsroom?
With the Team plan: a multi-account bundle (10 accounts), centralized administration to add or remove staff, and the Team limits (up to 500 GB per transfer).
Can we prove a broadcaster actually received the master?
Yes: every download triggers a notification, per recipient — the history doubles as proof of delivery.
What about sensitive or embargoed footage?
A password on the download, a limited availability period and link deactivation at any time — the transfer is encrypted (SSL/TLS).
