SunDrive · In development

Every drive your studio uses. One place.

SunDrive brings your studio NAS and your cloud drives into one window. Send a set of files for review or download with a single link, and decide exactly who sees what — on any drive. It replaced FTP at Sunrise Film.

The problem

Your files live everywhere. Your team shouldn't have to.

  1. 01

    Footage sits on the studio NAS, documents in Google Drive, deliveries in transfer links — and every place has its own logins and rules.

  2. 02

    Many cloud tools don't connect to a studio NAS at all.

  3. 03

    Sharing a handful of files means zipping, uploading again and hoping the link still works.

What it does

One cloud on top of all your storage.

Files stay where they are — on the NAS or in the cloud. SunDrive gives your team one place to find them, share them and control who can reach them.

How it works

How it works in the studio.

  1. 01

    Connect the studio NAS and your Google Drive — files from both appear side by side.

  2. 02

    Invite people by e-mail or Telegram and give each of them access to exactly the files and folders they need — on any drive.

  3. 03

    Upload big files straight from the browser to the NAS — no middle server that limits file size.

  4. 04

    Select several files and send them as one link — for review or for download, with an expiry date and a password if you need them.

  5. 05

    See who's online and where they signed in from; get a notice when files are uploaded or downloaded.

  • Familiar file manager.

SunDrive doesn't ask you to move your files. It connects the storage you already have — and adds the control a studio needs.

Every SunStack tool is built and tested on real projects at Sunrise Film first. When it's ready for other studios, pre-orders will open here.
