LiDAR file transfer software for field-to-office delivery

Move LAS, LAZ, E57, GeoTIFF, orthos, point clouds, and scan projects where corrupted delivery creates rework — in a desktop console that does not depend on a browser upload.

End-to-end desktop clients — you send from the app; your recipient opens TeraAirlift and pulls from Available Downloads.

Large scan projects deserve more than a browser upload

Reality-capture teams move enormous structured datasets over variable connectivity. TeraAirlift is a desktop console for teams whose transfer volume makes field-to-office ops a real job — fast, reliable, no browser upload.

Point clouds and scan projects are enormous

LAS, LAZ, E57 collections, tiled datasets, and zipped tile sets routinely outgrow email and browser tools — far beyond casual sharing limits.

Field-to-office uploads over unreliable links

Mobile mapping and drone operators need retry-friendly transfers with clear progress and ETA — not uploads that fail silently on a hotel Wi-Fi connection.

Clients demand proof files arrived uncorrupted

Re-driving a site because a corrupted archive was delivered costs more than software. Hash verification at upload and download is an operational requirement.

Email download links create phishing and handoff risk

Open URLs in email threads get forwarded, spoofed, or lost before processing starts. Field-to-office handoffs need linkless delivery — authenticated available downloads — not another magic link to chase.

Multiple stakeholders need controlled access

Processing leads, QA teams, and client GIS contacts need recipient-locked downloads with clear access windows — not open links floating in email threads.

Cloud sync tools lack ops visibility

Large structured folders need a transfer queue with metrics, history, and error logging — not a sync icon that gives you no insight into what's happening.

From scan to processing — without corruption or chaos

TeraAirlift is a desktop operations console for moving massive geospatial datasets to cloud storage and delivering them to the right people under controlled access — without emailed download links as the handoff.

Linkless, end-to-end clients — recipients install TeraAirlift and pull from Available Downloads; no phishable email URLs
Folder uploads with recursive scanning — queue entire survey projects at once
Parallel, chunked transfers tuned for office and field connections
Transfer queue with active, queued, completed, and needs-attention metrics
Speed and ETA visibility so you know when overnight uploads will finish
Retry selected jobs when connectivity drops — no starting from scratch
SHA-256 integrity verification before QA pipelines run
Recipient controls and access windows for client and subcontractor delivery

How TeraAirlift works for LiDAR teams

Field capture to verified processing handoff — with the visibility ops teams need.

1
Sign in from field or office
Authenticate with Microsoft Entra ID on your rugged laptop or processing workstation. One controlled delivery path for your organization.
2
Queue scan datasets and folders
Drag-and-drop raw scan tiles, classified point clouds, ortho packages, or full project exports. The client scans folders recursively.
3
Set recipients and access windows
Add processing lead, QA, and client GIS contacts. Set who can download and when access ends — aligned with bid milestones, without handing out forwardable email links.
4
Monitor overnight uploads
Watch queue metrics, throughput, and ETA while large overnight uploads run. Cancel, retry, or clear jobs from the operations console.
5
Processing office downloads in-app
Recipients are notified that a package is ready, then open the TeraAirlift desktop client and pull from Available Downloads — not from a URL buried in email. High-parallelism downloads with progress, speed, and ETA.
6
Verify integrity before QA
SHA-256 verification confirms the dataset arrived uncorrupted. Hash mismatch fails closed — the file is removed, not silently accepted.

Built for reality-capture workflows

Scenarios where controlled large-file delivery matters.

Client LiDAR data portal without email links

Give client GIS contacts a controlled Available Downloads experience in the desktop app—recipient-locked packages with access windows, not a forwardable portal URL in email.

Raw scan tiles to central processing

Upload tiled LAZ collections from mobile mapping vehicles to your processing server — queue multiple jobs from field laptops overnight.

Classified point clouds to client GIS teams

Deliver LAS/LAZ datasets to client CAD and GIS contacts with linkless, recipient-locked available downloads — not open email URLs.

Ortho and DSM packages for bid milestones

Send GeoTIFF orthomosaics and elevation models before deadline with integrity verification and delivery status tracking.

Overnight queue from field laptops

Line up multiple survey job uploads while operators sleep — monitor completion from the office in the morning.

Recipient-locked delivery to subcontractors

Share processing exports with subs under controlled access — without leaving forwardable download links that outlive the project.

Field surveyor working outdoors with geospatial equipment

Field-to-office handoffs should survive bad connectivity.

Integrity and access control for geospatial deliverables

Linkless delivery, verification, and controlled access — because a corrupted or spoofed handoff can cost a re-flight.

Linkless file delivery

Recipients don’t chase emailed download URLs. They sign in, see available downloads in the console, and pull the package under your access policy — so there’s no forwardable link to phish, no inbox scavenger hunt, and a clearer path to ensured delivery.

Recipient-controlled access

Set who can download and when access ends — enforced server-side for authenticated recipients, not an honor-system share link in someone’s email.

SHA-256 integrity verification

Files are hashed before upload, validated on completion, and verified again on download — so corrupted deliverables are caught before they reach your client.

Short-lived storage access

Presigned URLs and SAS tokens expire quickly. Blob credentials never persist on the desktop client.

Enterprise identity ready

Operational visibility

Queue metrics, per-transfer detail, delivery status, error logging, and diagnostics export — the visibility generic file-sharing tools don't provide.

Direct data plane transfers

Upload and download traffic goes directly to cloud storage — not proxied through the API — for higher throughput and predictable performance.

Estimate your transfer window

Run a planning estimate for your package size and bandwidth before you commit tonight's deadline.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a replacement for Dropbox, SharePoint, or Frame.io?: TeraAirlift is a desktop transfer operations console for deadline-driven handoffs — queue, monitor, retry, control recipient access, and verify integrity. Collaboration and review tools remain useful for day-to-day work; TeraAirlift focuses on the large delivery window those tools struggle with. It is end-to-end clients: sender and recipient both use the desktop app.
Do recipients need to install TeraAirlift?: Yes. Sender and recipient both use the desktop client. After you send, the recipient opens TeraAirlift and pulls the package from Available Downloads — not a magic download link in email.
Where does the recipient get the files?: In the TeraAirlift desktop app, under Available Downloads. That is the pickup surface — not a browser page and not a forwarded URL.
How do expiring access windows work?: You set an access window for each delivery so recipient access expires when the window ends.
What does integrity verification mean?: SHA-256 integrity verification hashes files before upload, validates on completion, and re-verifies after download.
How do I try it on a real workflow?: Download the desktop client, send a real test package from the app, and have your recipient install (or open) TeraAirlift and pull from Available Downloads. That is the same path you would use under deadline — no browser upload.
Can I use this for very large folders?: Yes. TeraAirlift is positioned for massive professional datasets — media packages, point clouds, and BIM deliverables — with queue visibility instead of blind browser uploads.
What if my connection drops?: Retry-friendly transfer operations are part of the design. Unreliable field or suite networks should not force you to restart a multi-hour handoff from zero without visibility.
How is pricing handled?: Pay-as-you-go on data delivered: $180 per terabyte transferred ($0.18/GB of data delivered), with no monthly minimum. See the pricing page for example costs. Team subscriptions are on the roadmap.
Is this available for Windows and Mac?: Yes. Sender and recipient both download clients for Windows, macOS, and Linux from the download page, then work end-to-end in the desktop console.
