What happens when I exceed 15 GB a month with an On-Demand account?
You pay $0.25 per GB after the first 15 GB of usage with an On-Demand account
When you sign up for an On-Demand account, it works as a pay-as-you-go account. This means that you pay for usage that exceeds the free 15 GB per month credit. MASV does not limit usage (there is no GB limit) for On-Demand accounts – they are designed to provide maximum flexibility.
For example:
Within a one month billing period, you send the following packages that your recipient downloads (usage is counted when packages are downloaded):
-
5 GB package > No charge (15-5=10 GB free remaining)
-
12 GB package > Charge for 2 GB (Remaining 10 GB free is applied, then pay-as-you-go at $0.25 per GB).
- 10 GB package > Charge for 10 GB (Pay-as-you-go at $0.25 per GB)
Note: If you send one package to multiple people, each download counts as usage.
There are no other usage fees, but if you extend the default Expiry setting for a package (beyond the free days included with your account), Extended Storage fees apply.
How can I monitor usage?
The MASV Dashboard provides an easy way for you to monitor your MASV account usage. For more information about Dashboard functionality, see How to use the MASV Dashboard.
To view current usage in the Dashboard
- In the MASV Admin Console, select Dashboard from the sidebar on the left.
- On the Dashboard page, select Usage Report tab.
- Select the date, and from the drop-down menu, select Custom Dates.
- Set the start date to match your monthly billing start date. For example, if your account renews on 4th day of the month, select the 4th.
Tip: How do you find your billing start date? Check one of your MASV invoices for the Date of issue.
