Filecatalyst: Privacy

Unlike cloud sync tools (Dropbox/Google Drive) or basic FTP, FileCatalyst’s proprietary UDP-based protocol can be configured so that intermediate nodes or logging systems only see packet timing and volume—not file names, directory structures, or sender/recipient details beyond IP addresses.

FileCatalyst’s privacy strengths lie not in encrypting the control channel (which is standard), but in its ability to limit metadata exposure during high-speed transfers. Unlike cloud sync tools (Dropbox/Google Drive) or basic
