Dashboard tour

Your ZenTransfer dashboard is where you configure everything that happens between upload and delivery. This tour explains each major section.

Video walkthrough¶

For a narrated product tour, watch the video above. The sections below map to the current dashboard layout.

Profile and upload credentials¶

The profile page shows your FTP/FTPS/SFTP hostname, username, and temporary password. You can also:

• Upload files from your browser by drag-and-drop
• Generate guest upload links and QR codes for clients or assistants
• View your subscription and account settings

Destinations¶

Destinations are where files go after processing. You can enable or disable each destination independently without changing your camera settings.

Common destination types:

• Cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, S3, Azure, GCP)
• Outbound FTP servers (newsrooms, wire services, client inboxes)
• Email notifications with traceable download links
• Webhooks and Zapier for automation

See Multi-destination delivery for how parallel routing works.

Processing settings¶

Before delivery, ZenTransfer can apply:

• Metadata templates — IPTC/EXIF fields such as copyright and caption
• File rename — EXIF-based filename templates
• Resize and watermarks — output sizing and branding
• Code replacements — shorthand expansions for captions

Only one metadata template is active at a time. Switch templates from your phone between sessions on multi-part assignments.

Monitor, Browser, and History¶

Use History when a file reached ZenTransfer but did not appear at a destination. Each row shows which destinations succeeded or failed.
