Shade replaces disconnected tools with one platform that manages everything from raw footage to final delivery. Unlike legacy cloud platforms, Shade is purpose-built for massive media files and professional workflows. It combines the functionality of tools like LucidLink, Iconik, Frame.io, Dropbox, and Google Drive into one seamless system—with AI-powered features like facial recognition, automated metadata tagging, transcription, and fast, vector-based search to keep teams focused on creative work, not file management.
