Files stay with their storage provider. Local storage and a NAS on your network require the desktop app.

Studio NAS, on-set NAS and local drives sit in the same view as your cloud storage. Files stay exactly where they are.

What connects

NAS over SMB and NFS, and the drives around it.
Performm supports LaCie, WD, SanDisk, Synology and QNAP among them, plus S3-compatible on-prem storage and Quantum StorNext.

  • Synology and QNAP NAS
  • LaCie, WD and SanDisk drives
  • S3-compatible on-prem storage
  • Quantum StorNext

What stays where it is

Your files stay on your NAS, on your network, under your own backup and permissions.
Performm does not move them into a new home.

What you can do next

Search the NAS together with your cloud storage, sync it to the cloud on a schedule, share a file with one link, and stream media from it with Editfly, in beta.
Peer-to-peer transfers go directly between endpoints, with no storage in the middle.

On set and in the studio

An on-set NAS becomes part of the same view as the studio's, so rushes do not need a separate route. Local storage needs the desktop app. Cloud storage works in the browser with nothing to install.

From set to studio

Put both sides of production in reach.
