Connect AWS S3, Dropbox, Wasabi, Cloudflare, Google Drive, Azure, Synology, Quantum, any NAS, and local drives in seconds.
Mount any bucket, folder, or server as a native desktop drive (macOS, Windows, Linux) and share specific slices of storage with anyone, without moving files or handing over raw credentials.
02Editfly real-time streaming & editing Beta
Edit full-resolution video without downloading the media first. Editfly streams footage directly into Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Avid, or Final Cut on demand, from the cloud or NAS you already own. Performm Free streams and previews individual files from any connected storage; Editfly adds high-speed block volumes built for active multi-track timelines, with no massive downloads or duplicate proxy folders.
03High-speed delivery & hybrid sync
Send massive files globally at peak bandwidth with Fastr and run unlimited continuous syncs between local drives, office servers, and any cloud. Performm never charges per-GB transfer fees. Traditional clouds bill egress every time you move or download data; connect Wasabi, Backblaze B2, or your own NAS to keep those charges low or at zero (you only pay your storage provider’s standard rates). Every external recipient can connect their own storage at no cost, turning file delivery into instant collaboration.

04Multimodal AI search & governed agents (MCP) Beta
Most video tools call auto-transcription or a chatbot “AI.” Performm lets AI act on your files. Search: Ask Kai indexes video, audio transcripts, and metadata across all 90+ endpoints without moving the files. Action via MCP: connect agents like Claude, OpenAI models, or Cursor to the built-in Performm MCP Server to find clips, move renders to archive, or generate client links through standard, permissioned tools. Every action passes Check, Preview, Approve, Record, enforced outside the model.
