Managed File Transfer
Enterprise managed file transfer (MFT) platforms solve compliance-heavy workflows with agents, policies, and admin consoles. Many teams only need a secure, encrypted handoff today—without a six-week procurement cycle.
BoltShare is not a full MFT suite. It is a lightweight, browser-based secure transfer option for ad‑hoc business sharing when heavy MFT is overkill.

- Minutes to first transfer No ticket to IT for a new MFT mailbox when you need one secure send.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is BoltShare a certified enterprise MFT product?
No. It is a simple peer-to-peer browser transfer tool. Organizations with strict MFT, DLP, and audit requirements should continue using approved enterprise platforms for those workflows.
Are transfers encrypted?
Yes. BoltShare uses WebRTC-encrypted data channels between peers.
Do you store business files for compliance archiving?
No. BoltShare does not keep file contents on its servers. If you need retention archives, use your own compliant storage after the transfer.
