In their own words
ExpeDat
ExpeDat is file-transfer software for connecting file movement to existing or new workflows. Its MTP/IP transport adjusts transfer speed to network and storage conditions; the maker says it uses 100% of available network capacity. ExpeDat Desktop is a single executable that needs no installation and can include custom configurations. DropDat offers drag-and-drop transfers on Windows and macOS, while ExpeDat Mobile for iOS uploads documents and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular. For automated workflows, movedat is available on Windows, macOS, Linux and other Unix platforms. Web options include clickable URLs, a JavaScript API for the WebDat transfer agent, and documentation, libraries, PHP templates and code samples. The server integrates with the host's authentication and storage systems. Licenses are per server host and set a limit on simultaneous server activities; the maker says bandwidth, transferred bytes and client seats are not charged. Plans start at $3,000 a month, billed every 3 months, and a five-day trial is available.
