General information about Fileflow and common features of applications and services

Fileflow (Fileflow AS) is a provider of professional file transfer and online backup services. The name Fileflow means fast, easy and secure transmission of digital data.

We replace the original methods of file transfer and backup, and have solved the common problems associated with it. Everyone transfer data, and everyone needs to backup their data. We make it fast, easy and secure.

Ask yourself:
Have you experienced having too large files to email, or experienced that the files do not arrive?

Maybe your company uses FTP and many customers find this to be bothersome? Or that you would like to have a presentable and professional file transfer service on your own website? Perhaps you are in need of sending sensitive data electronically?

Have you experienced disk failure, theft or damage to your computer? Spent hours searching for lost files?

We scan all files for viruses when they have been uploaded to our servers and before they are delivered. If we suspect problems with a file, you will be warned when trying to open the file. Please note that our virus scanning is not a substitute for your own anti-virus software.

Before your data is transferred from your computer and/or server they are encrypted. All files are transferred over a secure SSL encrypted connection and the data remains encrypted on our servers. We use encryption equal to, or greater than, industry standards: For file transfer we use 2048-bit RSA, and for backup we use 256-bit AES, and both are approved and recommended by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a non-regulatory federal agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce. We can therefore be used for transferring sensitive data. You can also password protect your files, and only people you give the password to have the ability to download your files.

You data is stored in a purpose built, state of the art EN ISO 9001:2000 certified data center with 24/7/365 surveillance and security personnel, located in Oslo, Norway.
