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.
Screenshots and screen recordings with links
Zight, which spent years as CloudApp, captures a screenshot or a short recording and hands back a link before the file has finished uploading. Annotation, GIF capture and a searchable library are the reasons people keep it in the menu bar. The free plan caps recording length and storage, and the cap arrives sooner than expected.
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.
