Turnover may be delivered via the web file transfer platform of your choice, as long as it provides for expedient downloads without risk of missing assets. The following platforms are not acceptable for the reasons provided:
Dropbox - Dropbox requires the user to add the files to their own account, or wait for platform-side compression and then downloads in less than 20 GB chunks. This usually requires us to download turnover file-by-file.
Google Drive - Google Drive requires the user to wait for platform-side compression, which takes a very long time, then the files are downloaded in a number of zip files which often fail to uncompress.
WeTransfer - While WeTransfer does package up the files properly, it has significantly capped download speeds which cause additional delays on our end.
The following platforms are particularly good choices as they provide desktop applications to increase download speed and reliability:
Frame.io
MASV
Frame.io Upload Link
We can provide an invitation to a Frame.io project hosted on our account that can be used to upload turnover assets. We would just request a heads up on the amount of data needed for the project so we can properly provision our storage.
An external hard drive can be provided with turnover assets. The project assets will be copied to our server, so we will not be working off the turnover drive. The drive must meet the following specs:
The drive interface must be one of the following:
USB 3.0 or faster USB protocol
Thunderbolt 2 or faster Thunderbolt protocol
Data cable included
Power adapter or power cable included
If deliverables will be copied to the drive, enough free space to allow for that
Note: Irving Harvey is not liable for and does not guarantee the integrity of data on a hard drive. There must be at least one other copy (preferably more than one copy) of the data in existence for any drive in our possession.
The drive can be delivered to our office at the following address between the hours of 10 AM and 5 PM. Please notify us ahead of drive delivery.
