Aspects of the disclosure provide effective, efficient, scalable, and convenient technical solutions that address and overcome technical challenges associated with transferring data files in a distributed network having multiple data sources and multiple data destinations. In some examples, a computer system, device, platform, or the like is configured to control the data transfers between other computing systems, devices, platforms, or the like in a computing environment. Controlling the data transfer includes, in some examples, detecting the data transfer between a data source and a data destination, evaluating a data transfer condition associated with the data transfer, determining a data transfer instruction based, at least in part, on the data transfer condition, and providing the data transfer instruction to the data source. The data source then transfers the data to the data destination in accordance with the data transfer instruction.
