StudioLine DigitalXpress

The add-on module StudioLine DigitalXpress is an additional solution for light, fast and reliable exchange of large media files. It can easily be purchased online. To further explain how efficient it is to work with DigitalXpress, a free workshop is available online. You can easily access the workshop via the Help menu under the 'Workshops on the Website' tab.

The transfer of large files via the internet and/or FTP is often time-consuming and complicated, since the successful transmission is dependent on numerous factors. Two common reasons that prevent successful delivery of large files are not enough space in your recipient's inbox or email attachment file-size limitations. Moreover, attaching files to webmail applications based on the Http protocol are particularly cumbersome and inefficient. And, as a result of internal coding, email attachments often become a third larger.

FTP transmissions require that the sender has access to an FTP-server and necessitates that the sender provide every file recipient with the access details. This is a potential security concern. Since FTP servers don't generally include a mechanism for ensuring the complete receipt of files, there is also no guarantee that files are 100% transmitted.

StudioLine DigitalXpress is the fastest, easiest-to-use, and most reliable alternative to sending files via email, FTP, or express mail delivery utilizing a CD/DVD.

Using DigitalXpress, StudioLine users can exchange any number of images, videos or music files through the DigitalXpress- or any other FTP-server. Recipients that do not have StudioLine are merely required to install the free StudioLine Photo Basic. Registered users of StudioLine DigitalXpress have 100 MB of cost-free space on the DigitalXpress servers available to them for the exchange files.

In order to utilize the storage space, StudioLine's product activation key needs to be unlocked. However, you need to be a registered user. Registration can be easily completed online by going to the 'Online-Registration' tab under the 'Help menu.

After file transmission, DigitalXpress automatically reviews the data to ensure there is an exact match between files on the local drive and files on the server. If the transmission is interrupted, it is possible to restart it at a later date without having to start the entire process from the beginning. The Up- and Download of data can happen simultaneously. This means that the recipient can already begin to download the available files, even if the sender is still in the process of sending more files to the server.

In order to accommodate the different needs of each recipient, it is possible to create profiles. These profiles include such definitions as image size and format, as well as filters. For example, you can predefine watermarks or sharpness in a recipient's profile, and all images uploaded to the server will be conform to these definitions. The recipient receives an invitation via email to download the images. Additional recipients can be invited at any time, without having to re-upload the files.

The recipient is able to quickly preview the uploaded files, which allows him to selectively download individual files. Alternatively, an automatic full download can be pre-arranged on a schedule. DigitalXpress administers the database on the server, which also enables the data to be deleted on a pre-arranged schedule. Images that the user has saved on the server are available via a DigitalXpress-generated link to internet applications like eBay, and other auction platforms or forums.
