Powerful File Uploading No Installs Required

Cyberduck is a desktop-based application that forces users to download and install software before using. It also requires sharing sensitive server or FTP login credentials with external partners, creating significant security vulnerabilities.

  • Users often need to submit IT tickets for approval, setup, and firewall configurations.
  • For non-technical users, navigating server protocols and connection settings is a confusing headache that affects productivity.
  • Cyberduck can also be slow when moving large files and often suffers from unreliable connections.

MASV intelligent managed file transfer (MFT) is a hassle-free Cyberduck alternative for uploading large files. MASV is cloud-native transfer designed for users who need the power and reliability of an enterprise tool along with the simplicity of sending an email.

File size limits

Caps file uploads at 375GB over a browser and 2TB using the desktop app; all uploads must be smaller than your available Dropbox storage space. If you’re over your limit, your files stop syncing.

Not optimized for speed

Dropbox is built for cloud storage and collaboration, not high-speed large file delivery. Consumer-grade sharing tools typically don’t have the infrastructure to handle large files efficiently.

Storage-based pricing

Dropbox charges based on storage tiers. For project-based teams or those handling large seasonal volumes, that means paying for capacity you may not always need.

Limited native ingest

Extremely limited native ingest directly to third-party cloud or on-prem storage, creating extra steps and added storage costs.

Why Choose MASV Over Cyberduck?

With MASV you can send and receive file packages of unlimited size with a drag-and-drop interface, custom branded upload Portals, simple user management, secure access controls, and no need to get IT involved for setup or configuration.

Browser-Based Upload Portals

No software to install, maintain, patch, or update. Recipients don’t need an account to drag-and-drop files to your browser-based MASV Portal.

Insanely Fast Transfers

MASV uses proprietary acceleration technology and a global private network to saturate your bandwidth and deliver files at maximum speed.

Automated Workflows

Set up file transfer automations to one or many cloud or on-prem storage platforms or other destinations without writing a line of code.

Enterprise-Grade Security

MASV is an ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type II, and TPN verified file transfer solution, with strong encryption and user-based permissions. No need to share credentials.

Transfer Tracking and Visibility

Track Transfer History for audits and record-keeping, monitor live delivery status, and see exactly when recipients access your files.

Relentless Reliability

Infinite auto-retries in case of transfer interruption, checkpoint restart, and checksum verification means no more transfer babysitting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Cyberduck outdated for modern workflows?

While Cyberduck is a well-established open-source client, it has fallen out of favor as remote teams shift toward streamlined, browser-based cloud tools. The friction lies in the user experience: Cyberduck requires every collaborator to download, install, and configure software before a single file can be moved. It can also be slow and unreliable when transferring extremely large datasets. In contrast, MASV eliminates the need for IT tickets and manual server configurations, offering browser-based simplicity that adapts to the speed of modern media production. Its accelerated network and relentless transfer retries with checkpoint restart ensure consistently fast and successful transfers.

Is MASV more secure than Cyberduck?

MASV provides a more robust security posture than traditional file transfer clients by eliminating the need to share sensitive server credentials or login info with external partners. MASV offers granular access controls, file expiry dates, and mandatory in-flight and at-rest encryption. MASV is verified by industry-leading data privacy and cybersecurity standards including ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type II, and TPN verified, ensuring high-value media is protected by enterprise-grade safeguards that standalone clients often lack.

What are the benefits of using a Cyberduck alternative?

Cyberduck requires users to understand protocols like SFTP or S3 and manually manage those connections, which can lead to configuration errors and security holes. As a cloud-native alternative, MASV is as simple as sending an email and requires no installation or firewall configuration for you or your recipients. MASV also features native integrations with platforms like Amazon S3, Google Drive, and Dropbox, allowing workflow automation without leaving your browser.

What type of customer support does MASV provide?

Unlike open-source tools that rely on community forums, MASV provides 24/7 support. If you run into any technical hurdles or have questions, our team is available around the clock to ensure your project stays on track.

How much does MASV cost compared to Cyberduck?

While some clients are free, they often come with hidden costs in the form of lost productivity, IT overhead, and the need for expensive server hardware. MASV offers flexible, cost-effective pricing designed to scale with your needs:

  • Pay as you go: Perfect for individuals and teams sending large files occasionally.
  • Subscription: Adjusted to the TBs you need per month. Ideal for high-volume teams.
  • Pre-buys: Save upfront and use your credits whenever projects demand.
  • Custom pricing: Tailored solutions for enterprises requiring huge volumes, enhanced security, and workflow integration.
