Find answers to common questions about ZenTransfer.
ZenTransfer is built for pro photographers to help them streamline their workflow. First and foremost, it is a Free Open Source Tool for MacOS and Windows available on GitHub. The app is supported by a cloud service for those that need easy FTP transfers from their pro cameras.
The ZenTransfer app works on MacOS and Windows. It lets you import images from your camera, organize the files into folders, and help you make both local and cloud based backup copies.
ZenTransfer.io is a cloud service that lets you send images straight from your camera to anyone or anything in the cloud through FTP. We hope to have enough users of ZenTransfer.io to ensure we have the funding we need to keep developing the free open source app.
ZenTransfer.io is an FTP server that lives in the cloud. When you transfer a file to ZenTransfer.io, 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. As long as your camera have a WiFi connection, it will be able to reach ZenTransfer.io.
ZenTransfer.io can natively transmit files to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Lightroom, Amazon S3, GCP 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. Each destination you enable will count as one transfer, so if you transfer files to both Google Drive and Dropbox, that will be 2 transfers. Only successful transfers are billable events.
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 Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Lightroom, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Platform, 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.
ZenTransfer.io is a convenience service, packed with features. We're one ship on a very large ocean, and we hope you'd like to join us for the journey. If not, check out CouchDrop, EasyFTP, or roll your own FTP server on a VPS somewhere.
ZenTransfer takes the hassle out of setting up, configuring, securing, and monitoring your own server. It also has more features than the FTP servers you find out there. We believe that it is more than worth the price. However, if you consistently transfer very large amounts of files, you may want to contact us for an enterprise agreement.
