The service GigaMove provides a simple and user-friendly way to exchange large amounts of data. GigaMove allows you to make a file available for download via an automatically generated download link or to request a file via a link.

The files are automatically checked with an up-to-date antivirus scanner and deleted after 14 days (with the option for extension).

There is an option to protect the download with a password.
