[greg janza] “For those that collaborate with colorists, motion graphics artists and others on projects, it’s possible to use up 250 gigs very quickly.”
None of these services is currently at a place where the workplace or price makes any sense if you want to move a large amount of native, full-res media through them. They are R&A sites that can also function to move proxy files. Or a short ProRes, DNx master, submaster, etc. That’s the biggest stumbling block right now. Someone still has to go into the office and it’s easier/faster/cheaper to ship drives.

In general Oliver, I agree. I do still think people need to weigh the pros and cons of each. Both Vimeo and Frame.io are viable options and both offer very robust feature sets.

HighTail has a review function. Their 1 TB storage plan is reasonably priced, IMO. They have a 25GB per transfer limit, which is higher than all the file transfer services I looked at. That’s helped me work from home. I can send a link to shooters and producers, and it’s a simple drag and drop to the link from their end.

Frame IO is ramping up their marketing blitz on this with a series of informational tutorials. I’m not sure this applies much to the way many of us currently work; however, it’s definitely something to be aware of. His described workflow is more applicable to film studio productions. But, these and other scenarios will get increasingly bigger pushes in the foreseeable future in our business.
Here are the first two videos in a series. Intro and Ep 1.

This video was posted yesterday.

It’s recap discussion of the HPA proof-of-concept workflow. However, I’ve cued it to the point where they are talking about Eclipse Technology. It’s a very interesting Resolve / Frame integration.

This process won’t help everyone. If you haven’t already taken these steps, it probably won’t help now. But it will help you in the future.
Our media is all on a NAS for day-to-day work. However we routinely follow these steps:
1. New dailies media from a shoot is stored on the NAS.
2. The same dailies (after being organized for the project) are archived on raw drives.
3. Ongoing Premiere project files are backed up daily to DropBox (just for extra protection).
4. When done/locked/delivered the remaining elements (project file, music, grfx, etc) are added to the raw archive drive.
5. That project folder is also moved to a “backed up” folder on the NAS after the archive copy is complete. Oldest backed up folders are deleted when space is needed on the NAS.At any given time, if needed, we can fully restore the project to the NAS from the drive. We currently have 205 drives ranging from 2TB to 8TB in capacity. Yesterday I took 14 drives home (about 78TB) with the media that we could potentially need in the near term. Although we never envisioned the archive drives to be used in a situation like this, it is totally appropriate. Hope this helps someone in the future.

I pay for smash instead of hightail. No transfer restriction.
Even their free version is pretty good size wise compared to others.
