Which one should you pick?
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.
Pick Sync.com if
You’re building around privacy-first cloud sharing. Sync is the privacy-first Canadian cloud storage where end-to-end encryption is the default, not an add-on. The free 5GB tier and the unlimited-storage Pro plan at $8/month make it competitive on price too.

Frequently asked
What does MASV do better than Sync.com?
MASV's standout is "No file size cap, accelerated transfers". Sync.com doesn't make that promise — it leans into "End-to-end encryption on by default" instead. If the first sentence describes your workflow, pick MASV; if the second does, pick Sync.com.
What are the trade-offs?
MASV: $0.25/gb compounds fast at scale. Sync.com: external sharing ux is friction-heavy. Whether either matters depends entirely on what you actually need — neither is a deal-breaker by itself.
Do they support the same platforms?
Sync.com 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 MASV and Sync.com together?
Both are asset sharing tools so most teams pick one. Some workflows do combine them — for example, using MASV for one show or episode type and Sync.com for another. Worth trying both free tiers before committing.
