Playlist

Playlists and Galleries

Roles and rights

Our flexible authorization system gives you total control over who has access to which areas and files, who can up and download, send and comment on and discuss files. Also manage authorizations by editing metadata and giving files clearance. Use our predefined roles for this or adjust them to the needs of your team.

Enforce two factor authentication Enforce two factor authentication

Add an extra layer of security with two factor authentication

Using the optional Webgate.io two-factor authentication (2FA) is an authentication procedure that requires users to enter an additional password after login. Webgate.io can provide you with a second factor via SMS or Authenticator App. 2FA can protect your account and the associated content from unauthorized access.

In addition to an optional second factor project owners can enforce 2FA for all project members. Once you require 2FA users can still see your projects but can't access them. If they try to access a project they will be asked to set up a second factor.

Upload and download without size restrictions

Final UHD-HDR ProRes files or DCPs can quickly reach several hundred GBs or even exceed one TB, and most file hosting service providers only allow a limited file size. Our cloud storage, on the other hand, is designed precisely for this requirement: the high-performance and reliable uploading and downloading of very large files. Playmaker Worldsales, for example, delivers all DCPs worldwide exclusively via Webgate.io.

Our customers have successfully exchanged...

  • TB-sized files
  • several tens of thousands of files
  • at speeds in the Gbit/s range

The number of files for deliveries during post-production can quickly run into the tens of thousands. Webgate.io is therefore also ideally equipped for the exchange of large numbers of individual files. Our customers regularly and successfully exchange tens of thousands of individual files with Webgate.io, for example single image sequences or Avid projects with many files and subfolders.

Of course, folder structures are maintained during uploads and downloads with Webgate.io. Files and folders can be downloaded quickly and immediately at any time using zip streaming. Zipping and downloading take place simultaneously, so there is no need to wait for a ZIP file to be created before downloading. For downloads of larger amounts of data and files, we recommend installing the Webgate.io Downloader, a light-footed download client for Windows and Mac.
