Choose by transfer need

Direct Drive intake or accelerated media transfer

These products overlap at the upload-portal level, but they solve different scales of file movement. Choose based on transfer architecture, destinations, compliance, and volume—not headline price alone.

Choose SendToDrive

For focused Google Drive collection

  • Google Drive is the final destination and a dedicated transfer network would add unnecessary cost.
  • You prefer a predictable $4.99 monthly plan instead of paying for transfer volume.
  • Custom forms, answer-based routing, submission subfolders, and filename rules organize your workflow.
  • Uploaded file contents should go directly from the uploader's browser to your Drive without SendToDrive keeping a file copy.

Choose MASV

For high-volume media operations

  • You routinely receive multi-terabyte media packages or need an accelerated global transfer network.
  • More than 20 cloud, object-storage, and media asset management destinations are valuable.
  • Package metadata should flow as JSON, CSV, or XML into a media workflow.
  • SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, TPN Gold, advanced roles, SSO, and enterprise transfer controls are requirements.
