"The killer argument for OffShoot is its blazing speed, that's for sure."

OffShoot

All the features that you don't want to do without, once you've used them.

Features

Superfast Transfers

Files are getting bigger, cards and reader faster, so you don't want any bottlenecks in your workflow. With OffShoot's Speed 2.0 update, our industry-leading copy engines got even faster.

Simultaneous backups

Create as many copies as you need, at the same time. OffShoot transfers multiple sources to all destinations, fully utilizing your bandwidth.

Verification, everywhere

Everything OffShoot does is verified, by design. Whether you're doing a simple copy, need source verification, destination verification, legacy checksums: our Checkpoint technology has your back.

Presets, on steroids

Elements prompt you to add useful metadata to the media files you're transferring, so that they're properly labelled. That saves time for everyone else, and makes a smoother workflow.

Keep track of everything

Copying is one thing, knowing what went where is next. Keep complete track of what goes where, when and how, with our Transfer Logs. Additionally, Media Hash Lists allow you to automatically re-verify backups at a later time.

Right-click, Copy, Paste

Your beloved copy/paste just got leveled up. Right-click any file or folder in Finder or Explorer, and you have direct access to OffShoot's copy engine... and more!

Duplicate Detection

OffShoot's built-in Duplicate Detection ensures you can pick up any transfer where it left off, without ever running into files with identical filenames.

Filter, Rename, Organize

Still manually creating folder structures? With OffShoot, organization of your files goes a bit further: ignore files, rename everything, and resort your files into new folders - or none at all.

Connect 3.0

Our beloved push notification service got another big update, and now comes with an online dashboard. Never wait for a transfer to finish, we'll let you know when it's done!

Integrations

Frame.io

OffShoot picks up your Frame.io watchfolders automatically, and exposes them as destinations - capture to cloud, the fast way round.

OffShoot Pro
