Best for cloud storage for large media files
Suite Studios streams large media files from a cloud drive as if they were local, for $75 a terabyte a month with 5 users included. That is many times what general storage costs, and there is no free plan and no phone app.
Who Suite Studios is for
- Fits if you edit video straight from a cloud drive
- Works for teams that share big files with outside clients through Suite Connect
Who Suite Studios is not for
- Pricey if you just need general storage: $75 a TB a month
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as there isn't one
- Watch out: users beyond five cost $10 each a month
- Not for you if you need a phone app, since none is listed
- Tight if you need SSO or your own storage, which are Enterprise with no published price
Why Suite Studios gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for money$75 per TB a month with 5 users, and $10 for each extra user. General storage plans typically cost around $7 a month, so this is far above the category.
- CFree plan and trialA 14-day free trial of the Managed plan is the only free offer; the page does not say whether a card is needed.
- CFeaturesFile streaming, multiple drives, bandwidth limits, transfers to outsiders and encryption. S3 access, SSO and bring-your-own-storage sit on Enterprise.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. You mount drives and set up users and bandwidth.
- CPlatforms and integrationsDesktop apps for Mac, Windows and Linux with Amazon S3 access. No phone apps are listed.

Keep Suite Studios, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Suite Studios you would be making files kept in step across devices without losing one. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 79 of the 91 other file storage and sync services grade higher. It costs $900 a year.
What you could not
- Files kept in step across devices without losing one.
- Storing and serving files for other people.
- Apps for macOS, Windows and Linux that stay in step with each other.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on and SCIM.
What this rests on. Suite Studios’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Suite Studios?
Suite Studios is cloud storage built for creative teams that work with large video and image files. Files are streamed to a desktop app and appear as a local drive instead of being synced in full. It is sold per terabyte, with a bring-your-own-storage option on the Enterprise tier.
Worth knowing
- There is no free plan; storage is billed by the terabyte from $75 a month.
- Users beyond the first five cost $10 each per month on Managed.
- The download page lists macOS, Windows and Linux apps; no mobile apps are listed.
- Bring-your-own-storage, SSO and SCIM are Enterprise features with no published price.
Key features
- File streaming
- Files open from a mounted drive and are fetched as needed, so large media does not have to be downloaded in full first.
- Suite Connect transfers
- Send files to people outside the team through Suite Connect, which is included on both plans.
- Multiple drives and bandwidth limits
- Managed accounts can create several Suite drives and cap how much bandwidth the app uses.
- S3-native access
- The site announces S3-native file streaming; the pricing page lists S3 native read and write as live and attaches it to Enterprise.
- Encryption and access controls
- Data is encrypted with AES-256 in transit and at rest, with granular access controls on both plans.
- Enterprise identity controls
- Enterprise adds SSO, SCIM and a team-wide MFA requirement, plus an SLA and a dedicated account manager.
