Details
- In the file manager, use the left and right arrows to initiate a file transfer, or drag a file or folder from one side to the other.
- Deleting files that are locked by Windows (e.g. system files or privileged files that require UAC authentication) does not work.
- The maximum size of the file that can be transferred is 64GB (with v3.2.6.0).
Logging
Admins can see a record of all file transfer activities by logging into the web console and going to Logs > File Transfer.
Disabling file transfer
File transfer can be disabled via the web console if you do not want anyone on your team to be able to transfer files.
As with other IT policies, only the team owner can perform this configuration. By default, file transfer is enabled.
Just log into my.splashtop.com as the team owner then navigate to Management > Settings.
