Downloads

MASV clients download files directly from MASV's private cloud infrastructure. The MASV API supplies authorized links in order to carry out the downloads from the MASV cloud.

MASV makes the following downloads available:

Each individual file that was uploaded as part of the package.
A zip file for Microsoft Windows and Linux platforms.
A zip file for macOS platforms.

1) Obtain package link information

The package link information can be obtained from the recipient's email. The package information requires the link_id and secret. (See the Links page for more details and examples.)
