MASV Portals are designed for non-technical administrators to set up in a couple of minutes. Contributors only need a browser, there are no plugins to install, and they don\u2019t even need a MASV account to send you files.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/massive.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/SectionC_Desktop_HQ.png” alt=”Screenshot of adding files to a MASV Portal” title_text=”Use a browser to upload files into a MASV Portal” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”80%” max_width_tablet=”100%” max_width_phone=”100%” max_width_last_edited=”on|tablet” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_id=”section-two” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_line_height=”1.8em” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n MASV Portals are fully brandable and support custom metadata forms, password protection, and access control. MASV integrates with a growing list of third-party cloud providers<\/a>, from storage to SaaS platforms. Connecting Portals to cloud providers takes just a few clicks in the MASV Web App.<\/p>\n Your implementation can be as simple as the following, with nothing to install and no coding:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/massive.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/PortalWorkflowDirect.png” alt=”Diagram of uploading files to a cloud provider” title_text=”Portal Workflow, Direct” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_id=”section-two” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_line_height=”1.8em” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n If MASV doesn\u2019t support your SaaS platform (yet), or you’re working with an in-house solution, just add a cloud storage provider that both support:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/massive.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/PortalWorkflow.png” alt=”Diagram of using intermediate cloud storage to upload files to a SaaS platform” title_text=”PortalWorkflow” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”2%|20%|2%|20%|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”4%|0%|4%|0%|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”6%|0%|6%|0%|true|true” border_width_top=”1px” border_color_top=”#e1e1e1″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_id=”desktop-app” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_line_height=”1.8em” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Web browsers are ubiquitous but they have limits on performance and flexibility. If the user closes the browser tab or powers down their computer, they have to restart their upload. So we made MASV Desktop App<\/a> for more performance and flexibility.<\/p>\n Desktop App is also a no-code, user-friendly front-end to MASV. It\u2019s a native app your users install on macOS, Windows, and Linux to take full advantage of a computer\u2019s performance and network connections. It adds these features to file uploading:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”2%|20%|2%|20%|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”4%|0%|4%|0%|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”6%|0%|6%|0%|true|true” border_width_top=”1px” border_color_top=”#e1e1e1″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_id=”web-uploader” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_line_height=”1.8em” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n If your workflow needs more control over web uploads, you can use the MASV Web Uploader<\/a>. It\u2019s what we use to implement MASV Portals. Web Uploader is a Javascript module that provides the building blocks to upload files to the cloud with a web browser. You can focus on your app\u2019s custom UI and UX while Web Uploader handles the complexities of file uploads.<\/p>\n Like MASV Portals, Web Uploader doesn\u2019t require your contributors to install anything or get a MASV account.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”physical” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_line_height=”1.8em” header_4_text_color=”#444444″ background_color=”rgba(158,213,247,0.19)” custom_padding=”2%|3%|2%|3%|false|true” border_width_left=”5px” border_color_left=”#3d72e7″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \ud83d\udca1 Read More<\/strong>: Find out more about Web Uploader in MASV Developer Documentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”section-two” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_line_height=”1.8em” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n We recently updated Web Uploader from version 1.1 to 2.2.

And with our latest update from 2.0.4 to 2.2.0, we\u2019ve improved performance for packages containing many small files, like image sequences.<\/p>\n We tested Web Uploader\u2019s performance for a package containing 10,000 files of one byte each. The green line represents version 2.2.0:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/massive.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Graph-5.png” alt=”Graph comparing throughput in versions 2.2 and 2.0. ” title_text=”Throughput: Uploading 10,000 1-Byte Files ” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_line_height=”1.8em” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Notice how Web Uploader 2.2 is practically twice as fast, uploading in about six minutes instead of 12.

There are about a dozen events<\/a> for your app to help manage file uploads.
