Video Production Team Streamlining Large File Storage and Access
Company Situation
The company operates within the video production industry, managing both filming and editing tasks. Their team handles large digital video files regularly, requiring efficient storage, transfer, and access solutions. The team is relatively lean and often handles multiple projects simultaneously, which demands streamlined workflows to maintain productivity.
Existing Workflow
Currently, the company attempts to move and upload large video files directly from their local directories into cloud storage solutions. They have tried using both web browsers and mounted drives to upload their assets. The process involves manual file handling and relies heavily on their local internet connection and bandwidth capabilities.
Issues with the Existing Workflow
The company encountered significant delays and failures during file uploads, with many files either not appearing correctly or being inaccessible after upload attempts. This inconsistency created workflow interruptions and uncertainty about file integrity. The issues were compounded by bandwidth limitations and unclear best practices on file transfer methods, leading to wasted time and increased support calls.
How Shade Would Change Their Workflow

By integrating Shade’s application and mount tools with expert guidance, the company can significantly reduce upload failures and latency issues. Shade’s migration specialists assist in diagnosing root causes, such as bandwidth constraints and data center proximity, and advise on best practices to optimize file transfer speeds.
