Frequently Asked Questions

Can I share thousands of RAW files?

Yes, if both devices have space and time. For very large shoots, a single folder selection is easier than picking files one by one.

Should I zip RAWs first?

Optional. Zipping can simplify one file progress bar; raw folders preserve structure. Either works.

Will previews generate on BoltShare?

BoltShare transfers files; it is not a proofing gallery. Use your usual proofing tool for client selects, then BoltShare for original RAWs.
