Voltn vs Smash: the same simple sending process, with added control.
Voltn (formerly NetExplorer) does everything Smash does for sending large files, while adding the essential features an organization needs to exchange data externally with complete confidence: a branded portal, full traceability, and secure, sovereign French hosting.
Smash remains a tool for occasional transfers, not an enterprise file-sharing platform
Useful for an urgent transfer. Here is where it falls short for regular professional use
A custom domain reserved for bespoke plans
A portal with your own domain name is only available on the Enterprise plan, by quote. Otherwise, your recipients remain on a *.fromsmash.com address.
One team, or ten, no middle ground
The Team plan starts at 10 users. It cannot be opened to a small team of 3 or 5 people.
A U.S. host, despite servers in Europe
Smash stores its files via Amazon Web Services (AWS). Even with data centers in Paris or Frankfurt, the infrastructure remains subject to the U.S. Cloud Act.
No healthcare or SecNumCloud certifications displayed
Neither HDS nor SecNumCloud certifications are among the guarantees provided by Smash.

FAQ
How long does it take to start using Voltn Share?
Just a few minutes: Voltn Share installs right over your existing storage, with no migration required.
Is Smash HDS or SecNumCloud certified?
No, none of these certifications appear in the guarantees provided by Smash.
Where are the files sent via Smash hosted?
Hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), with servers located in Europe based on your region. However, the infrastructure remains American and is therefore subject to the Cloud Act.
Is Smash suitable for regular professional use?
For a one-off shipment, yes. However, the branded portal remains exclusive to the Enterprise plan (available by quote), and the Team plan starts at 10 users: there is no option for a smaller team.
But let's be honest, our cloud-based file storage and sharing solution is much easier.
