Distance changes the equation.
Latency, packet loss and congestion can reduce transfer throughput—even on a high-bandwidth link. The route, endpoints and transport configuration all matter.
Transfer with confidence.
High-speed, secure
file transfer
Built for difficult networks.
Move massive files faster across difficult networks. A secure transfer platform with a desktop experience your team can use without touching a command line.
The challenge
Bandwidth is only
the beginning.
Difficult networks should not define what your team can deliver.
Understand accelerated transferYour workload is more than a file size.
A single large file and a directory of thousands of small files place different demands on storage and transfer tools. Evaluate the files your team actually moves.
Delivery needs to be accountable.
Speed is only part of the job. Your team also needs clear access controls, encryption and transfer records it can review.
The platform
Your work, in motion.
One connected workflow.
From files to a focused delivery.
Prepare a package, choose recipients and move your work through Ripton Cloud. Start with a clear browser workflow, with Ripton Desktop for demanding local transfers.

File transfer rebuilt from the wire up.
Make more of your bandwidth
Ripton Cloud is built to use the bandwidth you're already paying for, even across high-latency and lossy links where ordinary TCP transfers slow down.
Published EC2 test at 150 ms and 3% loss: a 1 GB file 7.5x faster than TCP; your proof of concept measures the actual path.
Keep every packet protected
Every packet is individually encrypted and authenticated. New keys are derived for every session. There's no way to accidentally run without encryption — the protocol doesn't allow it.
Mandatory encryption, authenticated packets, and replay protection on every transfer.
Fair pricing. Easy exit.
Flat plans include a clear monthly transfer envelope. Any overage is priced in advance, so high-volume teams can forecast the bill before they move a byte.
Published plan prices, annual savings, and no seat charge for external guests.
Proof
Numbers, not adjectives.
In EC2 tests with simulated latency and packet loss, Ripton Cloud beat the TCP baseline on both large-file and tiny-file workloads.
Large file
1 GB file
7.5x faster
- Ripton Cloud
- 4 min
- TCP baseline
- 30 min
The same 1 GB transfer finished in minutes instead of half an hour.
Tiny-file directory
100,000 files x 512 B
176x faster
- Ripton Cloud
- 0.98 sec
- TCP baseline
- 2 min 52 sec
File-heavy transfers avoid the per-file overhead that makes classic workflows crawl.
Tested between two EC2 instances with a netem-simulated impaired network: approximately 150 ms latency and 3% packet loss.

How to read this and any other benchmark: five questions to ask. The workloads above are the ones behind send large files and large directory transfer. Run the same test on your own route in a two-week proof of concept, or see how we compare with alternatives.
Evaluation
Test Ripton Cloud on the workload that already hurts.
You do not need a perfect technical spec to start. Give us the transfer path, the current pain, and the tool you use today.
Describe the workflow
Tell us what moves, where it goes, and what feels slow. Exact file counts help, but they are not required.
Run a focused comparison
We compare Ripton Cloud against your current path or a representative workload with the same shape.
Decide with numbers
If Ripton Cloud is meaningfully faster, choose the plan that fits. If not, you know quickly.
Start with a rough answer: what you move, from where to where, and how long it takes today.
Use cases
Built for teams that move serious data.
Keep high-value production handoffs moving.
Move camera originals, editorial turnovers, VFX packages, and masters between prepared endpoints. Evaluate Ripton Cloud on the route and workload your production actually depends on.
When dailies need to cross continents, the schedule should not be held hostage by a lossy path.

Security your auditors can actually verify
Named cryptography, authenticated packets, replay protection, and transfer records your security team can inspect.
Encryption on every packet
AES-256-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305, negotiated at session handshake. AEAD seals both the payload and the 24-byte header via AAD. There is no configuration to disable encryption.
Forward-secret key exchange
X25519 ECDHE generates a new shared secret per session. HKDF-SHA-256 derives directional keys and IVs. Compromising one session reveals nothing about past or future sessions.
Replay & tamper protection
Per-subflow replay windows (4,096 packets). Monotonic packet sequence enforcement. AEAD authentication detects any modification — bit flips, truncation, injection.
Audit-grade logging
Structured logs with transfer IDs, session IDs, and custom tags. No key material in output. Every session start, completion, and error is timestamped with correlation IDs.

Reproducible benchmarks
When we publish performance numbers, we include the test environment, exact commands, and network conditions. You can run the same test yourself.
Race-detected CI on every commit
The transfer engine runs go test -race in CI. Fuzz-tested parsers. No known data races in the critical path.
Cryptographic design available for audit
We publish the algorithms, key derivation chain, and nonce construction we use. Your security team can review it before you buy.

Named users include administrators and other full login accounts. Package recipients, delivery recipients, and shared-inbox invitees use scoped guest access and never consume a seat. Why we do not charge for the people you send to →
Some plan limits, such as shared-inbox counts, are not yet enforced automatically in the product; they describe what each plan includes. Transfer overage is disclosed in advance and never interrupts an in-progress transfer.
Taxes are calculated from the billing address. Stripe invoices include collected business tax IDs.
