Meet Pellio Drive
Your footage, on every computer.
Without the download.
Pellio Drive puts your team’s files on every Mac as an ordinary drive. Files stream from the cloud as you open them, so editors cut from the same footage wherever they are, and nothing waits on a sync. Windows is coming soon.
$59 a month for 5 people and 2 TB, billed yearly. SSO included.
- 85–98%
- of your connection’s speed, reading a file nobody has opened yet
- 0 GB
- downloaded before a file opens, however big it is
- AES-256
- every block encrypted before it’s stored, and a second copy kept elsewhere
Not another sync folder
Stream it. Don’t sync it.
Dropbox and Google Drive copy every file to every computer before anyone can work. Video teams can’t wait for terabytes to sync, so Pellio Drive streams instead.
- Every file copied to every computer before anyone can use it
- A 2 TB project needs 2 TB free on each laptop
- Edits sync whole files, again and again
- Two people save the same project: one save is lost
- Files appear at once and stream as apps read them
- Only what you open is kept, in a cache you size
- Saves upload just the changed file in the background
- An open project is locked, with the name of who has it
How it works
Open a 200 GB file in seconds.
Work from Finder, Premiere, Resolve or any app, as if the files were on a local disk.
- 1
Install the app and sign in
Pellio Drive for Mac, with Windows coming soon. Sign in with your Pellio account, or your company’s single sign-on.
- 2
Your filespaces appear
In Finder under Locations, like iCloud Drive. Every file is there at once.
- 3
Open, edit, save
Reads stream ahead of your playhead and fill a cache on your disk, so the second time is instant. Saves upload in the background, straight to storage.
For editors
Cut from the drive in the apps you already use.
Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro and any other app read from it like a local disk. Footage plays in real time whenever your connection is faster than the footage’s bitrate, and anything you’ve opened before plays from your disk.
Editing proxies
Pellio makes a lightweight proxy beside each camera file, with timecode intact, ready to relink.
Premiere Pro panel
Browse the drive, import from it and send a cut for review without leaving Premiere.
Offline when you need it
Pin what you’ll need on the plane. The cache on each computer is yours to size.
Built for teams that edit
Everyone on the same files, nobody on top of each other.
File locks
A project someone has open is read-only for everyone else, with their name on it. No more “who saved over my edit?”.
Versions and snapshots
Every save is a version you can go back to, and daily or hourly snapshots bring back a whole folder as it was.
Folder permissions
Keep finance or a client’s footage to the people who need it, and make folders view-only for the rest.
Mac and the browser
A menu bar app for Mac and every file in the browser with previews. A Windows app is coming soon.
Find anything
Search every filespace by name from Pellio’s search, with only what each person may see.
Every computer at a glance
See which computers are connected and what each still has to upload before anyone shuts a laptop.
Share and collect
Send footage out. Bring footage in.
Share a file or folder with a link, with a password, expiry and downloads on or off. Ask a camera operator or client for files with an upload link: what they send lands in the right folder, named and dated.
View links
Previews play in the browser; downloads only when you allow them.
Request files
Anyone can upload to a folder through a link, up to 100 GB a file, without an account.
Move in from anywhere
Bring a LucidLink filespace, Dropbox or NAS folder across with one command that picks up where it stopped.
Drive, Review, publish
From the edit to the published video, without a copy.
Send a cut from the drive to Pellio Review for client approval, and publish the approved version to your video Library. The file never leaves Pellio and is never uploaded twice.
Security
Enterprise controls in every plan.
SSO and SCIM included
Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace or any SAML or OIDC provider, and your directory adds and removes people.
Encrypted, block by block
Every file is cut into blocks sealed with AES-256 before they’re stored.
A second copy, elsewhere
Every file is also kept at a second cloud provider, so one outage or mistake can’t lose it.
Audit log
Who opened, saved, moved or shared what, from which computer, in your workspace’s audit log.
