Share work with external collaborators & key players—straight from Suite.

Creative teams & business with hybrid workflows are tasked with new challenges. From data access to file sharing, to media management & security, being able to stay organized, maintain access to the data that matters, and share files quickly is more crucial than ever. For many teams, collaboration is key. Suite Connect, now featuring Download Links, empowers teams to streamline their workflows by enabling direct file sharing from the cloud.

What is Suite Connect with Download Links?

Suite Connect is a robust file transfer tool for teams using Suite Storage, and currently it’s free to use. It provides a direct link between Suite users & non-Suite users (often clients & key creatives) to send & receive media directly from/into your cloud-connected Suite Drive.

How does Suite Connect work?

For media ingest, Suite users simply create a link, share it with the necessary team members (DITs, DPs, and other front-end media managers) who can then log-in to Suite Connect & upload files directly into a specific location within your Suite Drive, available for immediate access. Now, Suite Connect offers Suite users the ability to send media to anyone directly from the cloud… without the need to download files or transfer data locally at any point in the process. In short, Suite Connect file sharing tool now makes it possible to share final cuts & polished assets to clients & project stakeholders in an instant.

How does Suite Connect benefit my workflow?

Suite Connect offers teams two avenues for file sharing—media ingest straight into your cloud-connected Drive & external file sharing directly from the cloud. For teams & creatives using Suite’s cloud storage, Suite Connect is an easy way to share media with external collaborators. Imagine a dispersed, collaborative post production workflow in which RAW files never touch a local drive, or never have to sync to a local machine—editing, coloring, rendering, and shipping for client approval all happening directly from the cloud. That dream scenario is possible on Suite, where media management & file sharing connects creatives in real-time:

1. Upload Media Directly into the Cloud‍

Effortlessly upload media files directly into your Suite cloud storage, ensuring immediate access for your entire team without any local transfers. Easily choose a specific location for the file upload in the Suite app, share a link, and watch the magic happen—files will land directly in Suite!

2. Send Media Stored on Suite for Easy Downloading

Share files directly from your cloud-connected Suite Drive to anyone that requires it, allowing external collaborators to download media instantly without the need for additional tools.‍

3. Work Confidently with Anyone, Anywhere

With Suite Connect, you can choose the exact folder where you want your media to land, send a link to an external DP, DIT or other media manager, and receive media instantly into your cloud Drive. Suite admins maintain complete oversight of project permissions & file access; and every file shared via Suite is encrypted in-transit & at-rest so every bit & byte is only accessible by the right people.

4. Save Time & Cost on File Transfers

Speed up your review process by enabling clients and stakeholders to access and approve files faster than ever with files shared directly from the cloud. Forget about the need to ship a hard drive to your next client or freelancer; forget about wasting time while you wait for a complicated VFX composting project to download. Suite enables instant file access at every step.

Collaborate confidently with Suite Connect

Suite Connect simplifies the way creative agencies, movie studios, post production teams, freelance editors, and more interact during the post production process, especially when remote team members & dispersed creatives are integral to the project. Better yet—it eliminates the need to add other file transfer & review tools to your workflow—on Suite you can work end-to-end entirely off of the cloud, without ever bringing media locally or syncing files.
