Which one should you pick?
Pick Filemail if
You’re building around large raw-file handoffs. Filemail's free tier sends files up to 5GB without an account, which is the move when you need to push a podcast raw to a guest who refuses to download Dropbox. The paid plans go to unlimited transfer size with end-to-end encryption and antivirus.
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 Filemail do better than MASV?
Filemail's standout is "5GB free transfers with no signup". MASV doesn't make that promise — it leans into "No file size cap, accelerated transfers" instead. If the first sentence describes your workflow, pick Filemail; if the second does, pick MASV.
What are the trade-offs?
Filemail: free files expire after 7 days. 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?
Filemail 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 Filemail and MASV together?
Both are asset sharing tools so most teams pick one. Some workflows do combine them — for example, using Filemail for one show or episode type and MASV for another. Worth trying both free tiers before committing.
