Large, sensitive, and every step on the record
Legal and e-discovery work moves a lot of data between parties who do not share systems: a document production to opposing counsel, a forensic image of a laptop or phone to an examiner, hearing bundles and video evidence to chambers, and collections from a client’s IT team. A forensic image runs to hundreds of gigabytes, a production to terabytes, and everyone involved needs to show that what arrived is what was sent.
Consumer file-sharing tools were not designed for this: browser uploads over TCP stall over distance and fail midway on large images, with little control over who can open a link and for how long.
Integrity you can show, at full speed
Boita moves data with an accelerated transfer engine over UDP with its own rate control, at your line rate regardless of distance, as parallel sessions sized to your plan. The desktop app resumes by itself after a drop, sleep, restart or quit. Transfer sessions are encrypted end to end by the engine and the web app is HTTPS only.
The server records a checksum for every file at transfer time. Compare it with the hash the examiner recorded at acquisition and you have shown the copy is bit-for-bit identical. Delivery receipts list files, sizes, checksums, timestamp and who downloaded, with a CSV verification report, and as a PDF on Scale and above.
A 500 GB forensic image reaches the examiner from a firm on Pro, over a 1 Gbps line, in about two and a half hours, plan-limited at 450 Mbps. The calculator on the home page models your own line and distance.
Controls on every link, and a record of every action
Every share link has an expiry. Add a password and a download limit, get an email when it is downloaded, and revoke it at any time; download tokens expire in minutes, so a revoked link stops resumed transfers too. Recipient verification by one-time email code names who downloaded, and sender-side encrypted delivery keeps files unreadable to anyone, including Boita, until the recipient enters the passphrase.
Inside the firm, workspaces have owner, admin and member roles, two-factor authentication, and an audit log of logins, shares, downloads, deletions and admin actions. Collections from a client arrive through an upload portal: a request link into a folder you choose, each delivery in its own dated inbox folder with the sender’s name attached.
What Boita is, and is not
Boita is a transfer and storage service. It is not a review platform, it does not process or index documents, and it does not claim any certification today; an independent penetration test is planned, a DPDP statement is published, and files and transfer server run in Google Cloud, Mumbai. Each workspace has its own storage root and encryption key; a data processing summary is published at /legal/dpa. On Enterprise, legal hold stops anything being deleted until it is lifted, and legal-hold export packages collect a matter’s files and records.
Plans are flat monthly amounts sized by storage, retention and seats, with no per-GB fees and no charge for re-downloads.
