Photography studios
From card to retoucher before the coffee is done.
A wedding or campaign shoot is 50–300 GB of RAW. The retoucher needs it on their machine, the selects need to come back, and nobody wants client photos parked on a consumer cloud account. Card readers get shuttled between desks, and "the network share" works until Windows decides otherwise.
How your office runs with Oxolan
Ingest to retouch in one drag
A 100 GB shoot crosses the studio in ~15 minutes on wired gigabit, resumable if interrupted.
Preview RAW without copying
Oxolan previews RAW files on the other machine before you pull them — pick selects remotely instead of copying the whole shoot to look at it.
Search every machine
Find "that shot from March" across the studio's shared folders from your own desk.
Client galleries stay private
Encrypted machine-to-machine transfer; nothing uploads anywhere. Your privacy page can say so plainly.
Your files, at wire speed
| Typical file | Size | Time on wired gigabit |
|---|---|---|
| One session (RAW) | 20–80 GB | 3–12 minutes |
| Wedding, full day | 100–300 GB | 15–45 minutes |
| Retouched deliverables | 5–20 GB | ~1–3 minutes |
| PSD working files | 1–10 GB each | 10–90 seconds |
Times assume ~110 MB/s sustained on wired gigabit — Oxolan's verified range is 60–115 MB/s depending on network and disks. Try your own numbers:

- Wired gigabit LAN · ~110 MB/s3.0 minutes
- Wi-Fi 5 — good conditions · ~50 MB/s6.7 minutes
- Wi-Fi 5 — average office · ~25 MB/s13 minutes
- Cloud round-trip (100 Mbps up) · ~12 MB/s28 minutes
Time = size ÷ sustained speed. Cloud adds the receiver's download on top. Oxolan moves files directly over the LAN — the top row is the one your office cable already paid for.

Can I look at RAW files on another machine without copying them?
Yes — RAW preview over the network is built in. Browse the ingest machine, preview frames, pull only the selects.
Is this faster than our USB-C drive?
A fast SSD beats Wi-Fi but loses to not walking: wired gigabit moves ~110 MB/s continuously while you keep working, resumes on interruption, and both machines can do other things. No drive to find, unplug, or forget.
Where do client photos actually go?
Directly from one studio machine to another, encrypted with TLS 1.3. No cloud staging, no third-party server, no account that can be phished.
