Enterprise-level file transfer accounts are designed to meet the needs of modern, global-reaching businesses.

3. Enterprise-Grade Security
Top notch security is quickly becoming table stakes when it comes to selecting a hosted FTP provider. Enterprise-grade security protects your data and your company. Network and FTP server infrastructure should be fully redundant. Immutable logs for every account transaction improve control.

Boost data security with features like IP whitelisting and automatic user expiration. Enable multi-factor authentication for individual users or require it across your whole account to add a layer of security.
Additionally, a strong terms of service and data privacy policy with customization available for enterprise customers is essential for many organizations.
2. Enterprise Volume File Transfers

Leverage up to 2,000,000 daily transactions included with Enterprise FTP accounts compared to 480,000 for Advanced accounts.
Upload one file and let clients or employees download it without having to worry about the traffic from those downloads causing any interruptions.
1. Unlimited Automations
The number one reason companies like yours choose Enterprise FTP is the ability to set up automations restriction free. Start automating file transfer with unlimited webhooks and leverage the ExaVault API with unlimited access tokens.
A typical automation flow might involve files that come from vendors or customers to your ExaVault account. Then, webhooks generate the notifications to your waiting applications, and finally use the API to pull those files into your business systems as needed.
Set up multiple webhooks that can be directory specific. Directory-specific webhooks give your enterprise the opportunity to send webhooks to your tech-savvy customers and contacts notifying their applications about files waiting for them.
Enterprise accounts support all enhanced webhooks features with developer support to help you get set up.
Manage your account programmatically and get all your automation set up with unlimited access tokens. An easy to access developer tab in your account lets you manage and set up your API keys, access tokens, and webhooks all in one place.
Set up one or twenty integrations. Enterprise FTP with developer tools allows you to set up the integrations and automations that support your business and help it run efficiently. And because all access tokens utilize user-specific security rules, you can work with your customers or clients to allow them to access their files directly via the API.
