Which one should you pick?
Pick Box if
You’re building around corporate-team podcasts. Box is the enterprise-storage incumbent for security-and-compliance-conscious companies, with HIPAA, SOC, and audit trail features that healthcare and finance verticals require. Business Starter is $5/user/month but requires a three-seat minimum.
Pick MASV if
You’re building around production teams. MASV is the pro choice for sending genuinely massive files — terabyte interview rushes, raw camera footage, multi-track stems — without the 50GB cap that strangles WeTransfer. Pay-as-you-go at $0.

Frequently asked
What does Box do better than MASV?
Box's standout is "Strong compliance and audit features". MASV doesn't make that promise — it leans into "No file size cap, accelerated transfers" instead. If the first sentence describes your workflow, pick Box; if the second does, pick MASV.
What are the trade-offs?
Box: three-user minimum on business plans. MASV: $0.25/gb compounds fast at scale. Whether either matters depends entirely on what you actually need — neither is a deal-breaker by itself.
Do they support the same platforms?
Box works on iOS, Android where MASV doesn't. If you're on a specific OS or device, that may decide for you.
Can I use Box and MASV together?
Both are asset sharing tools so most teams pick one. Some workflows do combine them — for example, using Box for one show or episode type and MASV for another. Worth trying both free tiers before committing.
