It works straight from the web – you can just drag and drop your files into it. Hightail is a professional-level file collaboration service but there is a file transfer component that's easy to dip in and out of, even if you don't use everything else on the platform. Paid-for plans allow for phone and video conferencing on top of messaging, with increases to member storage. This provides an advantage over general file-sharing services, because it allows for much more user control - and especially respect hierarchies - without having to worry about overcomplicated permissions.Įven better is that Slack has a free tier with a generous 5GB of storage available per team member, so you can try it out with minimal investment other than a little time spent setting up your team(s). This is easy to set up in Slack, and better still, ensure control over which team members have access over which documents. This is especially the case if you're managing a project, or working as part of a team on a project, and need to keep all your documentation in one place. However, if you're looking to share a select few documents rather than a huge archive then Slack might just work for you. Do you want to know when the network comes back? IsNetworkAlive has your answer.īased on what I know so far, I think the following pseudo-code would be my approach: sourceFile = Compress("*.Slack isn't so much of an online file store as much as an online communications platform.


Do you just want a fire and forget operation? I suppose shelling out to robocopy, or TeraCopy or something would work - but it seems a bit hacky to me.Do you want better performance? It's going to be tough, as it sounds like you can't run anything on the server.Do you want verifiable copies? Sounds like you already have that by verifying hashes.Do you want restartable copies (with such small file sizes, that doesn't seem like it'd be that big of a deal)? If so, look at CopyFileEx with COPYFILERESTARTABLE.I'm unclear as to what your actual problem is, so I'll throw out a few thoughts.
