Large file transfer priced by the gigabyte
MASV moves camera files between people who are not on the same network, which is the job that breaks every consumer sync tool once a shoot goes over a terabyte. There are no seats: you pay for the data you send, and the first fifteen gigabytes each month cost nothing. Uploads sit in storage free for five days, after which keeping them there becomes its own small charge.
Our note
Do the arithmetic on storage as well as transfer, because a job parked on the platform for a month costs real money after the five free days. If you send less than about 230GB a month, stay on pay as you go rather than the subscription.
Video hosting with a player nobody advertises on
Vimeo is where a video goes when it has to sit on your own site without YouTube's suggestions appearing over the end of it. The player is customisable, privacy controls are real, and the review tools are decent. Its audience discovery never materialised, so treat it as hosting rather than as a place people will find you.
Only on this side
Ratings are the average of reviews readers left. The facts are stated by each tool’s own listing and are not verified by CloutStack. How we make money.
