Choose where your data is stored

With other online data transfer providers your files are most likely stored on servers in the United States of America. For personal files this is probably OK with you, but if you are a company in Europe there are sometimes laws or guidelines as to where you can legally store your data; to this end we have given our Professional and Business customers the ability to choose where 2Big2Send stores their data.

Even if you do not have rules as to where your files are stored, by choosing to upload them to a data centre closer to where you are can significantly increase your upload speed; likewise if you wanted to ensure that your European customers got the fastest download speeds, store your files in our European data centre.

To choose where your data is stored simply visit your Account :: Storage page (https://www.2big2send.com/account/storage)

As we are using Amazon’s S3 Storage Service we have the option to store files in a data centre in Japan or Singapore; if you would like to see these as an option on your account please let us know.
