netfiles Launches “netfiles Send” to Secure Business Data Transfers
Moving large, sensitive files is a perennial headache for modern businesses. While email attachments are often too slight and traditional FTP sites are increasingly outdated, the need for a secure, compliant way to move mission-critical data has never been higher. To address this, netfiles GmbH has introduced netfiles Send, a professional business filesharing solution designed specifically for the secure transfer of confidential data and massive files.
Launched on April 23, 2026, in Burghausen, netfiles Send expands the company’s existing portfolio of virtual data rooms. It provides a streamlined way for organizations to send and receive large folders and documents without compromising security or violating strict data privacy regulations.
Prioritizing Security and GDPR Compliance
In an era of increasing cyber threats, “good enough” security isn’t enough. Netfiles Send is built on a foundation of high-level encryption and strict regional compliance. All data is encrypted during both transmission and storage, utilizing secure SSL-encrypted connections for every upload and download to prevent unauthorized access.
A critical component of the service is its commitment to European data sovereignty. The solution is hosted in ISO-certified data centers located exclusively in Germany. By keeping development and hosting within Germany, netfiles ensures full GDPR compliance and provides businesses with an alternative to American hyperscalers and cloud services, reducing the risk of industrial espionage and data leaks.
Key Features for High-Volume Data Exchange
netfiles Send isn’t just about security; it’s about functionality. The platform removes the technical barriers usually associated with transferring huge datasets. Users can send files directly from their computers or mobile devices, or manage them via an integrated document archive.
Core capabilities include:
- Massive Transfer Limits: Users can send and receive large files and entire folders up to 150 GB.
- Integrated Storage: Every user has access to a structured file archive with up to 1 TB of secure storage, accessible from any location or device.
- Request Functionality: Instead of waiting for a partner to send a file, users can simply send an upload link to request documents from third parties.
- Advanced Security Layers: The platform includes automated virus scanning to guard against malware, along with optional link expiry dates, email verification, and confirmations of receipt.
A Sovereign Strategy for Data Management
The shift toward data sovereignty is a strategic move for many European firms. By relying on a provider that operates entirely within German jurisdiction, companies can maintain tighter control over their intellectual property and sensitive client information.
Patrick Reininger, Managing Director of netfiles GmbH, emphasizes that the tool is designed to replace risky habits. “netfiles Send is the secure and data-protection-compliant alternative to email attachments, FTP and conventional filesharing services. Because we rely on the highest security standards to protect our users’ data from unauthorized access and loss,” Reininger explained. He further noted, “We are a German company with headquarters, development and hosting exclusively in Germany. In this way, we also support companies in implementing a sovereign data strategy.”
