Accessibility is the name of the game.

The key value of cloud storage is accessibility. No matter the location, no matter the device, cloud storage makes your files accessible wherever there is a WiFi connection. However, just because a file is accessible for preview does not mean that it is actually usable for editing.

For a file stored in cloud-based web applications like Dropbox or Google Drive to be usable, you first need to download a local copy. This is where the headaches start. For small files like text documents, photos or iPhone videos, waiting a few minutes for them to download is no big deal. But RAW video files are massive, and most commercial projects can easily acquire enough footage to reach multiple terabytes in size. This means that “accessibility” really means “you can have your files, but you’ll have to wait hours or even days to use them.” Well, that’s not very helpful at all, now is it?

At Suite, we revolutionize the way teams interact with their data on the cloud by making every file accessible in real-time without the need to download or sync. Our cloud-native filesystem enables creative teams to work directly off of your cloud storage, no matter where you or your team are located, thanks to how we're handling the data. When you want to work with another collaborator, simply invite them to your Suite account, enable the appropriate permissions, and they can start working on heavy RAW files in a matter of minutes. Once again, no downloading required.

So, what's the big deal?

Cloud storage is more useful when you can work instantly from it. The best part? It's infinitely scalable and it feels familiar since it populates as a Drive directly in your Finder window. Use Suite like a local NAS that's connected to the cloud—instead of waiting hours for your files to download, you can stream you content immediately for faster remote work. Simply put, Suite unlocks the power of the cloud in new ways, completely transforming how remote and hybrid teams collaborate.
