The Challenge
To keep things simple, I want to upload large files received from colleagues to Dropbox using a browser.
Dropbox is one of the most popular file sharing services available today, thanks to its ease of use for storing files and collaborating with others through a browser window.
However, Dropbox is not designed to share large files over a browser. Dropbox has a strict 50 GB limit for file uploads over a browser. As such, those working with big video files and large batches of high-resolution images have to either:
- Split and/or compress large files to below 50 GB.
- Download the Dropbox desktop app for 2 TB uploads.
- Use the Dropbox API for larger uploads.
Luckily, those who use MASV with Dropbox get the best of both worlds: a simple browser experience and large file uploads of up to 350 GB.
The Solution
MASV: The best way to send large files to Dropbox.
MASV offers two convenient ways to upload large files to Dropbox:
1. Dropbox Cloud Integration
Add ‘Dropbox’ as an integration to a MASV Portal. A MASV Portal is an upload window which can be shared with teammates. Any file uploaded to a Portal will automatically appear in Dropbox.
2. Save to Dropbox
When you receive a file, you can choose to store it in Dropbox rather than download it to your computer. Simply hit the ‘Save to Dropbox’ button.
Share larger files from more people to Dropbox and finish tasks quicker. Try the MASV x Dropbox integration today.
