⚠️ Warning: Google Drive is not optimized for large file transfers due to its file transfer speed limits. Transfers to Google Drive might take longer than Google Cloud or other cloud services. We recommend that you verify Google Drive transfers. Any questions or issues, please don't hesitate to contact support@masv.io.
MASV makes it easy to deliver large files to Google Drive. MASV package recipients can select Google Drive on the download page and deliver large files to Google Drive without downloading locally and re-uploading.
Note: All MASV transfers are saved to a Google Drive folder created by MASV, named MASV. This is a security limitation set by Google Drive for third-party apps. MASV cannot transfer files to other Google Drive locations, such as other existing folders.
Considerations
- Google Drive limits upload activity to 750GB per day (24hr period). This means that a single package uploaded into MASV cannot exceed 750GB if you wish to save it into your Google Drive (regardless if you have an unlimited account). Any combination of uploads throughout a day cannot exceed 750GB otherwise the account will block subsequent uploads until the 24 hours period has elapsed. An upload may fail if you exceed the 750GB limit, as Google does not expose the remaining capacity or time remaining for the limit to reset.
- Pop-up blockers may affect authentication. If your authentication is blocked, please check your pop-up blocker settings to allow or prompt then allow Google Drive's pop-ups.
