DropDat offers drag-and-drop transfers on Windows and macOS, while ExpeDat Mobile for iOS uploads documents and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular.

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.
