MASV · Ottawa, Ontario, Canada · founded 2019
What it is
MASV is a managed file transfer service for sending, receiving, and automating delivery of large files. Transfers can resume after interruption through checkpoint restart, and users can create branded browser upload portals that route contributor files to one or more destinations. Its desktop app supports channel bonding, real-time uploads of growing files, and transfer optimization for 10 Gbps+ connections. Listed integrations include Amazon S3, Backblaze, Box, Dropbox, Frame.io, Google, and IBM Cloud Object Storage. MASV says transfers use TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit and AES-256 at rest. Access controls include SAML-based SSO, MFA, role-based permissions, password protection, download limits, and expiry dates. On-Demand includes 15 GB of transfers free each month, requires a credit card, and charges $$0.25/GB after the allowance. Uploaded files are stored free for five days, then storage costs $0.07 per GB per month. MASV offers web, desktop, API, Linux, macOS, and Windows options. The company was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
