Helping You Get the Most out of Iconik
The Challenge
Getting files in and out of Iconik is hard.
- Logins required: Contributors typically need paid Iconik credentials to upload files, which can stifle productivity and collaboration.
- Drive disconnect: Local downloads result in unnecessary use of local storage capacity and potential versioning issues.
- Time-consuming transfers: Downloading raw footage from Iconik, just to have to re-upload it to a transfer service, wastes time and money.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, absolutely. There are two different ways. Because Iconik brings all your files from different locations into one central place, you can upload files via MASV to your preferred cloud storage of choice (e.g. Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.). MASV also uploads to Iconik directly with a native integration; simply connect your Iconik account to MASV to automatically sent all received files to an Iconik collection of your choice.
First, ensure that your Iconik account is connected to your cloud storage provider of choice. You will need to create an Application Token in Iconik (contact your administrator if you do not have access to create this) before you can connect MASV. Next, create a Cloud Integration in MASV using the new Iconik provider option. Now you can attach your Cloud Integration to your MASV Portal(s) to have your uploads automatically transferred to Iconik. You may also select this connection to upload individual packages using the Send to Cloud feature on the Packages list pages. The final step is to attach a cloud integration to a MASV Portal. Simply select the desired Portal and choose Select Connections under Deliver to Cloud. Then locate the Iconik connection you want to use and click Update.
