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

Keep your files in the bucket you already pay for. Performm adds drives, search, sharing and transfers on top.

What connects

Amazon S3 and any S3-compatible storage. If it speaks S3, it already works. That includes object storage such as Wasabi, Backblaze, Cloudflare R2 and Storj, which Performm supports.

What stays where it is

Your files stay in your bucket, in the format they are already in. There is no proprietary format, so they stay readable whether or not you use Performm. You keep your own billing with your storage provider.

What stays yours

Keep the storage. Add the workflow.

Connecting storage does not migrate your files or replace your provider’s storage bill.

What you can do next

S3 is affordable, but it is rudimentary: great for capacity, rarely built for people.
A front end turns the bucket into something a creative team can use.

  • Search across your bucket and every other connected location
  • Move files between S3, a NAS and the cloud, directly between endpoints when the transfer is peer to peer
  • Share a file with one link, by email, or with an upload link
  • Stream media with Editfly, in beta

Which plan you need

Connecting, syncs, one-link sharing, email and upload links are on the Free plan, and search is free for launch. Flow at $20 per user per month adds shared drives, unlimited transfers and MCP. Add Performm managed storage only if you want it: Global at $15 per TB ($10 annual) or Archive at $4 ($3 annual).
