The fastest, cheapest and most reliable way to upload and share your footage. ~4× faster than Dropbox on the same internet, no seat fees for your crew, and every byte verified before we tell you to clear the card.
Same idea: get files from you to everyone else. Except it's built for camera cards, 4K originals and a crew that changes every shoot.
A Mac app that sends a whole shoot over every connection your internet can take, makes 1080p proxies so your team can watch in minutes, verifies every byte, and puts it all behind one private link.
If your camera recorded its own proxies, those go up as they are. Otherwise HEVC, ProRes and 8-bit H.264 clips get a 1080p proxy made on your Mac's media engine (faster than real time) and uploaded alongside the originals. A 110 Mbps camera file becomes 8 Mbps, so producers are reviewing the shoot while the camera originals are still on their way. Formats only a CPU can decode, like 10-bit 4:2:2 H.264, get no proxy from your Mac, so the originals never slow down. Originals always keep at least two thirds of the connections; proxies ride in what's left.
Files are cut into pieces and sent in parallel, with the number of connections tuned live to your connection. On our own line, UploadFilm pushed 23.6 Mbps while a Dropbox upload of the same shoot crawled at 5.6. The Upload speed tab shows which apps are eating your upload, and pauses them until you're done.
Drop a card, an SSD or a folder; folders stay folders. It reads straight from the source, keeps the Mac awake, and lives in your menu bar so a restart doesn't stop it. Pulled the cable? It picks up where it stopped.
If you lose footage, you're done. So every file is encrypted on the way up and in storage, and checked byte for byte like a DIT would.
Every upload, preview and download travels over HTTPS (TLS). Nothing is ever sent in the clear.
Every original and every proxy is stored encrypted (AES-256) by our storage provider.
Nothing is public. Every file link is signed and expires; only people with your share link can see the shoot.
Each 16 MB piece carries a checksum the storage verifies; anything that changed in transit is rejected and resent. Bad bytes are never kept.
When a file finishes, its fingerprint in the cloud must match the one computed from your disk. Only then is it marked verified.
We only say it when every original is verified, byte for byte. Until then, the app tells you not to format.
A file whose drive disappears waits instead of failing, and resumes the moment the card is back.
The app only reads. It never moves, renames or deletes anything on your drives.
Your footage stays until you delete it. No 7-day links that quietly take a shoot with them.
Your agent logs the shoot, finds every S-Log3 clip from the B cam, tells you when it's safe to format the card and hands your editor the pull list. One line to install in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP agent.

Everyone else charges per person. We charge for terabytes, so the price doesn't move when you invite the editor, the producer and the client.
I'm Jorge. I shoot launch films for startups, and every shoot ended the same way: a card full of 4K, a progress bar, and an editor asking when they'd get the footage. UploadFilm is the tool I wanted on those nights.
