Voltn vs Smash: the same simplicity in sending, with added control.
Voltn (formerly NetExplorer) does everything Smash does for sending large files, while adding what an organization needs to exchange with the outside world with complete confidence: a branded portal, full tracking, and secure French hosting.
Smash remains a tool for occasional transfers, not a corporate file-sharing platform
Useful for a quick, one-off transfer. Here is where it falls short for regular professional use.
A custom domain reserved for bespoke plans
A portal using your own domain name is only available on the Enterprise plan, which requires a quote. Otherwise, your recipients are directed to a *.fromsmash.com address.
One team, or ten—no middle ground
The Team plan starts at 10 users. It is impossible to open it for a small team of 3 or 5 people.
A U.S. host, despite having 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 on top of your existing storage, with no migration required.
Is Smash HDS or SecNumCloud certified?
No, neither of these certifications is included in the guarantees provided by Smash.
Where is the data sent via Smash hosted?
With Amazon Web Services (AWS), using servers located in Europe based on your location. However, the infrastructure remains American and is therefore subject to the Cloud Act.
Is Smash suitable for regular professional use?
For occasional transfers, yes. However, the branded portal is reserved for the Enterprise plan by quote, and the Team plan starts at 10 users: there is no option for a small team.
But let's be honest, our cloud-based file storage and sharing solution is just easier.
