Find answers to common questions about ZenTransfer.
ZenTransfer is a tool that allows you to transfer files from your camera to anyone or anything in the cloud through FTP.
ZenTransfer is an intelligent FTP server that can be integrated with just about any cloud service. When you transfer a file to ZenTransfer, it will be temporarily stored in the cloud and notifications will be sent to all your connected services so that they can import the file.
ZenTransfer can natively transmit files to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Lightroom, Amazon S3 and Azure Blob Storage.
You can use ZenTransfer to transfer files to secure storage locations, directly to your clients, via email or SMS, or post to social media or anything else you can dream of and is supported by Zapier. Post to Slack, Teams, Discord, add AI or whatever.
Yes. You can create one or more metadata templates and easily toggle them on and off from your smartphone. Prepare the metadata before you go on-location, and then any file you send will have the enabled templates applied.
We offer a 7-day free trial. After that, the subscription is $3.75 per month and $0.025 per file transferred. As an example, if you transfer 500 files one month, the total cost will be $16.25, and then only 10 files the next month, the cost will be $4.00.
ZenTransfer takes the hassle out of running your own FTP server, configuring, securing, and monitoring it. Options include running your own cloud server, running an FTP server on your Mac, or even on your smartphone. The benefit of ZenTransfer is that it is always available, works on any network, and has native integrations with all the major cloud storage providers and has very low cost when you don't use it.
We run FTP server instances in the EU and US. When you connect to ftp.zentransfer.io you will be routed to the server closest to you. We are evaluating other locations continously and will respond to customer demand.
ZenTransfer natively supports Dropbox, Amazon S3, and Azure Blob Storage. It also supports any cloud service that can be integrated with Zapier.
Absolutely. Use a regular FTP Client, like FileZilla, CyberDuck, WinSCP or your terminal to transfer to ftp.zentransfer.io and all ZenTransfer's functionality is available to you too.
Running your own FTP server requires that you set up, configure, secure, and maintain it. Dedicated FTP server from cloud providers can be expensive and cost dozens or hundreds of dollars a month. ZenTransfer is scaled for photographers, and smart engineering and sharing infrastructure for all our clients lets us keep costs down. If you tell enough of your friends we can keep the prices really reasonable.
It's me. Chris. I am just an OK amateur photographer, but a professional software engineer for 30 years. I'm spending my free time building software products for photographers to give back to a community that gives me so much joy.
