Why teams choose Pellio Drive
A drive that’s part of the whole job.
- A flat price for 5 people, then $8 a person and $30 a terabyte, with no member caps
- SSO, SCIM and the audit log in every plan
- Proxies made for you beside every camera file
- Every file also copied to a second cloud provider
- Send a cut for client review and publish the approved one, without copying a file
Where LucidLink is ahead
What Pellio Drive doesn’t do yet.
- Zero-knowledge encryption by default (Pellio manages the keys for now)
- Your own cloud storage account behind the drive
- Apps for iPad and phones
- A cheaper plan for one or two people with little footage
- Years in production: Pellio Drive is new
The difference
LucidLink stops at the drive.
With LucidLink, the edit lives on the drive and everything after it happens somewhere else: a review tool, a video host, a file transfer. With Pellio, the same file goes from the drive to client review to your website.
