A MASV alternative
DropYourFiles and MASV, side by side.
Both get large files to your client with no account to make. Here is where they differ, from each one’s own pages, with the date we read them.
Free up to 5 GB. No card. Read on each one’s own pages on October 28, 2026.
What you and your client get.
| What | DropYourFiles | MASV |
|---|---|---|
| Price a month | Free; Solo $20 ($220 a year); Studio $59; Enterprise from $149 | Pay as you go: $0.25 a GB, with the first 15 GB free each month. Yearly commitments from $58 a month for 250 GB |
| What the price is for | A monthly plan. Your client’s downloads cost you nothing more | Each gigabyte that leaves MASV, as a download or a delivery to storage. No paid seats |
| How long the files stay | As long as you keep the project. Nothing expires on a clock | 5 days free by default, then $0.07 a GB a month. Files are deleted when they expire |
| What your client opens | A page of photos and films under your name, to watch, review and download | A download link by email, or a branded portal |
| Your client’s notes | At a timecode on a film and pinned to a spot on a photo, all in one list | Not on MASV’s pages. It moves files and doesn’t take notes |
| How your client approves | Your client presses Approve and confirms once | Not on MASV’s pages |
| Your client needs an account | No | No, to download, or to upload through a portal |
| Your branding | Your logo, name and colors at the top of your client’s page, on every plan. The link is on dropyourfiles.com | Branded portals and download pages, with your logo, background and accent color |
| Locking it down | A password or an expiry date on any link, and download links signed for 12 hours | Passwords, download limits, expiry dates and download notifications. SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 |
| Where else files can go | Your client downloads them. Notes go to Final Cut Pro as to-do markers | Frame.io, cloud storage (Amazon S3, Dropbox, Google Drive, Box and more), Slack and an API |
MASV’s side was read on its own pages on October 28, 2026, and prices are in US dollars. Plans change: check theirs before you decide, and tell us at support@dropyourfiles.com if a line here is out of date.
Which one suits you.
MASV may suit you better if
- You move terabytes to a post house or a broadcaster and need speed and certifications.
- You need clients and crew to upload files to you through a branded portal.
- You want files to land straight in Frame.io or your own cloud storage.
- You send rarely and would rather pay by the gigabyte than by the month.
DropYourFiles may suit you better if
- Your client should watch and leave notes before the files are final, then approve and download from the same link.
- You want the link to stay open after the job, not expire in days.
- You want one monthly price, with nothing charged for each download.
- You deliver photos and film to the same client and want them on one page.
