About Signiant Media Shuttle
Media Shuttle is Signiant's SaaS product for sending and receiving very large media files quickly. Instead of one-off links, you set up portals: Send portals for delivering files to someone, Submit portals where clients, freelancers and crews upload content into a single place, and Share portals that expose a folder for multiple people to browse, upload and download. Anyone can use a portal from a web browser, while Signiant's acceleration technology speeds transfers well beyond normal browser uploads, with checkpoint restart for interrupted jobs. A key difference from WeTransfer-style services is storage independence: files land directly in your own on-premises storage or your AWS, Azure or Google Cloud buckets rather than on Signiant's servers. A mobile app covers iOS. It is aimed at broadcasters, studios and post houses, with pricing by subscription after a demo or trial, so it is not a fit for individuals.
Best for: Broadcasters and post houses that receive large media from many outside contributors.
