Transferring Large, Remote Files
Congratulations! Hopefully now, you know how to set-up a NAS. With your NAS set-up and running, you’re ready to share files in your home or office.
As easy and fast as your new NAS is for your home or office, it isn’t ideal for sharing remote files, especially large remote files. Transferring gigabytes or terabytes of data to and from your NAS takes a long time.
To make large file transfers fast and easy you can use MASV. It’s an excellent complement for your NAS to send and receive large files. Just drag-and-drop files onto MASV’s easy-to-use interface and hit send. It’s as easy as sending an email.
MASV sends files up to 15 TB in size reliably, quickly. You don’t even have to zip or compress the files before sending them. MASV sends files securely, too, with ISO 27001 certification. It encrypts your files both in-flight and at-rest.
MASV works with any NAS, too. If macOS, Windows, or Linux can connect to a NAS, then MASV can send and receive files with it.
Automate with MASV Desktop
The easiest way to send files with MASV is with any web browser. You can also take advantage of automation features with the MASV Desktop app. It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. For example, MASV can watch folders on your NAS to send to remote locations.
Video production
In a video production workflow, you might need to receive raw footage from remote locations. By putting this footage on your NAS, your team can work on it more conveniently.
You could combine your NAS’s local storage features with MASV’s automation features to make it easier for your crew to send you this footage so that it’s ready for your team to edit, add visual effects, and so on. When you’ve done your editing, correction, and other processing, you can use MASV to send the final product for packaging and distribution.
Backup
MASV is a great tool to implement a 3-2-1 backup policy for your important data:
- Keep 3 copies, 1 primary and 2 backups.
- Store it on 2 different devices.
- Store 1 copy remotely.
Again, combining your NAS and MASV makes this straightforward: You can configure your NAS to set aside some of its storage for backup, giving you a primary and backup. Then you can use MASV to copy your primary data to a remote location. MASV even integrates with many cloud services, including Amazon AWS S3, giving you more flexibility and options for backing up.
Advanced features
If your NAS supports Docker containers, you can get even more performance with the MASV Transfer Agent. With Transfer Agent running on your NAS, you can receive and send large files with even more performance than the MASV Desktop app.
A network attached storage is an easy and fast way to share files at home or at the office. MASV is an easy and fast way to transfer large remote files to and from your NAS.
