Four ways to move and keep large files
Everything works on the same storage. A folder you sync can also be sent as a link, restored from backup or read through the API.
Sync
Install the desktop client, choose the folders to share and who can see them. Each machine keeps a full local copy, so applications open files at disk speed and you can keep working offline.
The first upload sends everything. After that the client compares files in 4 MB blocks and sends only the blocks that changed, so saving a 40 GB project file usually moves a few hundred megabytes.
| Runs on | macOS 12 or later, Windows 10 or later, Linux (x86-64) |
|---|---|
| File size limit | None |
| Interrupted uploads | Resume from the last finished block after sleep or a dropped connection |
| Conflicts | Both versions are kept. The later one gets the editor's name in the file name |
| Bandwidth | Unlimited by default. You can set a cap and a schedule per machine |
Transfer
Right-click any file or folder and create a link. The recipient opens it in a browser and downloads at full size. They do not need an account or the client.
| Password | Optional, set per link |
|---|---|
| Expiry | From one day to one year, or never |
| Upload links | Let a client send files into a folder you choose |
| Download log | Shows when a link was opened and how much was downloaded |
Backup
Every night Uncut records the state of each synced folder. Deleted and overwritten files stay available for 90 days and do not count towards your storage for the first 30.
To restore, pick a date in the web app and choose a file, a folder or the whole share. Restored files are synced back to every machine.
API
Each share is also available as a bucket through an S3-compatible API. Tools that can read and write S3 work without changes, including rclone, Cyberduck and the AWS command line tools.
Access keys are created per person and can be limited to one share and to read-only use. Create an API key
