Move larger content

Send large files through multipart, ranged, cached, or provider-assisted transfer paths.

Use multipart, presigned, ranged, cached, and compressed delivery options where configured, while keeping the file connected to its application record.

Switch transfer strategies while preserving the file record, owner, permissions, and application reference.

01Fit the transfer to the fileChoose a delivery path suited to size and storage.

02Resume useful readsServe byte ranges for compatible media and large downloads.

03Reduce repeated origin workUse cache and response validation where the path supports it.

Why it matters

Use multipart or provider-assisted upload for product video and a direct image path for profile icons.

Small assets can move directly through the application. Upload and deliver large media, archives, and reports through multipart, ranged, cached, or provider-assisted paths.

Daptin supports several asset paths depending on storage and configuration. The transfer can change while the file's record, ownership, metadata, and access remain in the application model.

Tune multipart upload, ranged reads, and caching while Daptin retains file identity and ownership.

Handle varied content sizes

Use direct paths for simple files and provider-assisted paths where larger content needs them.

Support media and resumable reads

Deliver ranges when compatible clients need only part of a file.

Keep storage behind the product boundary

Give clients Daptin file records while the backend resolves provider-specific object identifiers.

Choose the right route for every file

Use one file experience from everyday uploads to large media.

Daptin can send the file directly, hand it to the cloud service, or move a large file in dependable pieces while keeping the resulting business item consistent.

How it fits

Part of one connected backend.

Large-file delivery does more when it can reuse the records, people, access rules, and workflows already in your application.

Step 1Authorize

Confirm access to the record that owns the file.

Step 2Negotiate

Choose the supported upload or delivery path.

Step 3Transfer

Move bytes directly or through the configured store.

Step 4Validate

Use metadata, ranges, cache rules, and invalidation to deliver the current asset.

What it enables

Use it in products people recognize.

Start from the experience you want to create; the backend capability supports the work behind it.

Video library

Support clients that read portions of large media.

Document archive

Transfer sizeable reports and evidence through multipart uploads or ranged downloads.

Data exchange

Provide downloadable exports while keeping their application ownership visible.

Connected by design

Keep the record, owner, permissions, and file identity stable across transfer strategies.

These capabilities share the same application context, so each one makes large-file delivery more useful.

Know the boundary

What Daptin leaves in your hands.

Available upload and delivery modes depend on the storage backend and configuration. Capacity-test the real path, align proxy limits, monitor cache growth, and verify provider-specific multipart and presigned behavior.

Build from one foundation

Use multipart upload, ranged reads, caching, or provider handoff while clients keep one file record.
