MASV

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.

The default is pay as you go: fifteen gigabytes free every month, then $0.25 a gigabyte transferred, with no minimum and no seat count. Storage is free for five days on every upload and $0.07 per gigabyte a month after that, which is the charge people forget. Subscriptions start at $58 a month for 250GB, work out at $0.23 a gigabyte and are described as 8 percent cheaper than the pay as you go rate, with tiers to 5TB above. Pre-buy and enterprise options exist for bulk. A $10 pre-authorisation is placed at signup and released.

Anybody moving camera-original footage between a shoot, an editor and a client who are not on one network. Somebody sharing a finished export a few times a month should use WeTransfer or Dropbox and never think about it again.
