2. The Good (Pros)
- Seamless Project Backup: Automatically backs up your EDIUS project files and exported videos to the cloud. If your editing PC crashes, your work is safe.
- Cross-Computer Syncing: Start editing on a desktop workstation, save the project to Google Drive, then open the same project on a laptop (provided all media paths are identical—see "The Bad" below).
- Collaboration on Scripts/Assets: Perfect for sharing rough cuts (exported MP4s), graphics, audio files, or production documents with remote team members.
- Version History: Google Drive keeps previous versions of files. If you save a corrupted EDIUS project, you can restore an earlier version.
- Free/Cheap Storage: 15 GB free, with affordable plans for 100 GB–2 TB+.
- LucidLink or Blackbird – Designed for video editors, block-level access.
- Resilio Sync – P2P sync without cloud delay.
- NAS + VPN – Synology or QNAP with remote access.
- Dropbox (with Smart Sync) – Slightly better than Google Drive, but still not ideal for active editing.
- Use Drive link permissions carefully (view-only, expiration dates), and consider encryption for sensitive footage before uploading.
