Our transfer portal will maximize the bandwidth of your internet connection as much as possible. We've tested a range of connections from 4G & 5G cell connections up to multi-gigabit connections - each transfer tends to maximize the available throughput of the connection. 
Yes, but its very large. Any single upload can be up to 10TB in size.
Yes, you can upload up to 10 files simultaneously. If you have a folder with a lot of files in it (such as a media-managed folder of media) please zip that folder first on your local system and then upload the zip. On the Mac we recommend Keka with the option for no zip compression selected in settings.  Video Files are not very compressible and using no compression drastically cuts down on the time needed to create a zip of very large files. On Windows we recommend WinZip which offers a similar option

Sure.  Once you're logged in visit the profile icon in the upper right-hand corner and choose my profile.
