Remote collaboration tools like Resilio Sync and MASV make it easy and convenient for media and production teams to share large files, like original camera files (OCF) and proxy media. You can make syncing and transferring lots of media easier by putting these solutions together.
Resilio Sync is an excellent solution for keeping your team up to date with the latest data for your post-production project. But it requires everyone on your team to have a paid license. That can be a challenge when working with remote collaborators. MASV solves this by making it easy for you to receive large, remote files. MASV is also great at sending media to remote collaborators.

What is Resilio Sync?
Resilio Sync keeps files and folders synchronized for its users. You can use Resilio Sync to automatically back up files, share files with colleagues, and keep files up to date when collaborating on projects.
Resilio Sync runs on several platforms and devices, including laptops, NAS servers, and mobile. It turns any folder on your computer into a synchronized folder. You can share a link to your folder with anyone else in your organization who’s also running Resilio Sync.
One of Resilio Sync’s strengths is BitTorrent, a peer-to-peer network protocol for distributing files. Normally, sharing files with a small computer like a laptop or mobile device would be pretty slow. But with BitTorrent, the more users that have a file, the faster Resilio Sync can sync the file with other users. It does this by dividing a large file into segments then downloading several segments at a time from the other computers that have the same file.

To set up :
- Create a folder to receive and sync files from remote contributors.
- Download and install either Resilio Sync Business or Resilio Sync Home.
- Start Resilio Sync to set up the folder for syncing with other Resilio Sync users.
- Share the link for the Resilio Sync folder with your teammates. They can use this folder to transfer files with remote collaborators.
