Sending large files is not without consequences for the planet. There are solutions to reduce your environmental impact when sending large files.

File transfer has a growing carbon footprint. In order to reduce your impact on the environment while working efficiently, FileVert is the perfect alternative to the traditional solutions offered by the web giants.

On the scale of a French company, the impact of connected digital technology is equivalent, each day and for each employee, to driving 29 km or consuming seven 9-liter packs of water. Alors que la part du numérique dans les émissions mondiales de GES doublera dans les prochaines années pour en représenter possiblement 8% à l’horizon 2025, utiliser FileVert est un premier pas militant et efficace ! 

As you already know, since the end of September 2020, FileVert helps you for more sober and ethical digital uses, so that eco-gestures gradually become a reflex. FileVert estimates the environmental impact of your file transfers thanks to public references such as the Ademe's GHG Base and the average PUE of European datacenters to inform you about the digital pollution associated with your uses.

Sharing files represents a significant part of digital pollution, particularly because it involves storing large files in the cloud. So how can we optimize these energy-intensive operations and move towards a sober and economical file transfer? 

The data storage problem

Companies store a large volume of data, whether it is work files, customer data or administrative data. If the storage seems dematerialized, it has many physical consequences since the data is actually stored in data centers.
