No minimum monthly costs is a huge bonus, only pay for what we use. Since implementing this in our business, we've delivered over 1.2TB to clients and broadcasters around the world without any issues. > > **Cons**: I do wish there was flexibility around the expiry time for packages and the ability to extend this after initially sending the package. Adding support for passphrase authentication on packages would also be a plus. Lastly, the option to hide hidden files when dragging in folders. ----- ### "MASV is a gamechanger - easy & effective large file transfer with small-business friendly pricing\!" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *8 December 2017* | Broadcast Media > > **Pros**: Fair per-GB pricing avoids the massive licensing costs of the closest competitors. The In-browser, no-plugin system is much easier for our clients and partners to use. Their unique "portal" system makes managing multiple brands / companies / projects very easy. As a user since Beta the system has constantly improved over time. The system has generally been reliable and required significantly less technical assistance on our end than competing solutions. The design is clean and understandible, with fast, good-looking custom branding options. Perhaps most important the MASV team has been \*incredibly\* responsive to constructive feedback, feature requests, and has been appreciatively transparent when there's (rare) issues. The highest praise I can give is the number of other companies I deal with who upon seeing and using MASV to send us large files, have moved away from FTP and enterprise file-transfer solutions, and are now using MASV as well. I have told the team before that this is literally the file transfer system I have been (loudly) complaining that someone needed to make - and can't recommend it highly enough now that someone has. > > **Cons**: There have been some occasional network reliability and browser / OS quirks through development (I've been a user since Beta) but, to be fair, MASV has been very good at transparency and acknowledging issues. The latest "2.0" major revision (which moved to an entirely new infrastructure provider) seems to have addressed all the major quirks, and (on our end) has been completely issue-free since release. There are a couple of features which we would very much like to see implemented ASAP (primarily automatic downloading of received packages) which are on the roadmap - but have been pushed back given the large infrastructure changes that (understandably) took priority to stabilize the core platform. ----- ### "Charge by download, not by upload" — 2.0/5 > **Jeffrey** | *17 December 2020* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use interface with only a few steps to get setup. > > **Cons**: The billing practice of charging by download is very sneaky. Almost all other companies charge by upload. When you upload a 100GB file, at $0.25/GB, you think it will cost $25, but if someone clicks the download button a few times of has to redownload it since it didn't download to completion, it charges you for each one. I sent a $100GB file and ended with a $275 charge for that one file because the download was attempted a few times. I felt ripped off, customer support didn't care. ----- ### "Used MASV for dozens of time sensitive projects, an they came through." — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *4 December 2017* > > **Pros**: Pay for what you use, no subscription. Much Easier to use than similar software. Responsive technical help, especially when you are in a pinch. > > **Cons**: MASV is a young company. They cannot get you into every corner of the World, yet\! You pay more when there are multiple recipients. Not knowing ahead of time, whether a sent file will travel to the selected destination. ----- ### "Fast and secure transmissions\!\!" — 4.0/5 > **Erwin** | *4 December 2017* > > **Pros**: Its easy and simple to use. Fast and friendly customer support. Right price for the service. Quack quack said the duck\!\! > > **Cons**: Email correspondence does not auto-fill when typing based on contact list or previous emails used. Also not drag and drop of files. Don't like that you have yo choose if its a single file you want to upload or a folder with content in it. It should be a simple upload dialogue box regardless of files or folders you want. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/49945/masv?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/49945/masv) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
