10 Best Cloud Storage for Video Editing of 2026

LucidLink is built for the problem most editors have with ordinary cloud drives: waiting for footage to download before work can start. Its filespace mounts on the desktop as a normal drive, and LucidLink says it streams only the data an editing app requests, so a team can open the same project in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Avid or Final Cut Pro from different cities. Starter costs $7 per member per month and includes 100 GB per member, pooled across the workspace, with extra storage at $7 per 100 GB. Business is $27 per member per month on annual billing, includes 400 GB per member, raises the limit to 25 members, and adds 30 days of snapshot recovery, guest link expiry and SSO. Files are protected with zero-knowledge encryption. The trade-offs are cost at scale, since a 10 TB project on Business needs extra storage on top of seats, and Starter's lack of snapshots. A 30-day trial needs no credit card.

Frame.io is where many editors already send cuts for approval, and its storage now goes beyond review files. Pro costs $15 per member per month, covers up to 5 members and includes 2 TB of storage plus 2 TB for each additional member, so a 3-person team gets 6 TB. Comments are frame-accurate and can cover a range, with annotations, version stacks and a comparison viewer, and Pro adds custom-branded shares, passphrases, link expiry and the option to block downloads. Camera to Cloud sends takes from set as soon as they are recorded, and Frame.io lists integrations with Premiere and Final Cut Pro. The limit for editing from the cloud is Mounted Storage, the tier that streams assets to the desktop: 250 GB on Pro and 500 GB on Team. Team costs $25 per member per month with 3 TB, internal comments and restricted folders. A free plan covers 2 members and 2 GB.

Dropbox is the general cloud drive that has done the most for video work. Its help center says the desktop app can upload files of any size up to your storage limit, while the website takes single files up to 375 GB. Plus gives one person 2 TB, 30 days to restore deleted files and transfers up to 50 GB, and costs $11.99 a month in the US App Store, with Simple at $6.99. Dropbox Replay adds review and approvals: it accepts video files up to 150 GB and up to 12 hours long, and Dropbox lists integrations with Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Pro Tools. Replay files already stored in Dropbox do not count twice against your quota. The limit is that Dropbox syncs complete files, so a team editing the same multi-terabyte project will wait on downloads in a way LucidLink and Suite avoid.

Google Drive is the inexpensive choice for storing and handing over video rather than editing it live. Google's help center lists a 5 TB limit for files that are not Docs, Sheets or Slides, and Drive previews MOV, MPEG4, AVI, WMV, WebM and other video formats in the browser, which helps when a client wants a quick look without downloading. In the US App Store, 100 GB costs $1.99 a month, 200 GB $2.99, and the Google AI Plus plan with 2 TB is $9.99. Most editors already have a Google account, so sharing needs no new sign-ups. What it lacks is any of the editing workflow: no streaming drive for creative apps, no frame-accurate comments, no version stacks. Treat it as a delivery and backup drive for finished files and proxies.

Suite Studios takes the same streaming approach as LucidLink but prices it differently. Its Managed plan costs $75 per terabyte per month and includes five users, with more at $10 per user per month, so a crew of ten on 4 TB pays for storage first and seats second. Suite says its drive works like a local drive, and the plan includes Suite Connect for sending files to outside parties, bandwidth limiting, multiple drives and AES-256 encryption in transit and at rest. Desktop apps cover macOS on Apple silicon and Intel, Windows and Linux. Enterprise adds bring-your-own S3 storage, onsite caching, instant archive, SSO, SCIM and a dedicated account manager, with custom pricing. The weakness is the floor: one terabyte costs more than ten times what Backblaze B2 charges, so Suite only pays off for teams that need live access to the same media.

pCloud is a storage choice for editors who care more about keeping footage than editing it in the cloud. Its features page says you can store files of any size, and the apps include a video player that streams from storage, which is handy for checking an old project without downloading the whole file. In the US App Store, Premium costs $4.99 a month, Premium Plus $9.99, and Ultra with 10 TB is $29.99 a month. On pcloud.com the company also sells one-time lifetime plans in 500 GB, 2 TB and 10 TB sizes, which suit a growing archive of finished projects. pCloud is a personal and family drive at heart, so there are no frame-accurate comments, shared editing drives or team roles here. Use it as the long-term shelf behind a working tool such as LucidLink or Frame.io.

Backblaze B2 is the archive layer for editors who have outgrown hard drives on a shelf. It is S3-compatible object storage that costs $6.95 per terabyte per month on pay as you go, with no minimum file size and no minimum storage duration fees, so deleting an old project early costs nothing extra. Egress is free up to three times your average monthly storage and $0.01 per GB beyond that, which matters when you restore a whole project for a re-edit. Backblaze also shows media teams pairing B2 with Synology NAS units to sync and protect assets. The price for that value is usability: B2 has no editing drive, no review links and no client-facing interface of its own, so it needs a NAS, a sync tool or a media asset manager in front of it.

MASV is on this list because sharing is half of the question: moving a 500 GB camera card or a ProRes master to a colorist, client or broadcaster. It is a transfer service rather than a drive. Pricing is per gigabyte moved, with the first 15 GB free each month and $0.25 per GB after that, and no charge for seats; annual plans start at $58 a month for 250 GB at $0.23 per GB. MASV says uploads resume automatically after interruptions, and senders can add a message, password and expiry date. Teams can set up custom portals for clients to upload into, and MASV integrates with Amazon S3, Dropbox, Google, Microsoft, Synology and QNAP so files land where the team already stores them. The catch is storage itself: MASV keeps sent and received files for five days at no charge, so pair it with a real cloud drive.

Sync.com is the pick for editors whose footage cannot leak, such as unreleased campaigns or legal and medical video. Sync says its storage is end-to-end encrypted so only you can access your files, and it does not track or sell app usage data. Personal 1 TB costs $9 a month billed annually for the first year, then $12, and Solo 5 TB costs $21 a month billed annually in the first year, with custom branding on shares. Personal Unlimited has no capacity limit and keeps 365 days of file recovery, though Sync notes upload speed management may apply beyond 10 TB. Apps cover Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android. As with Google Drive and pCloud, there is no streaming drive for editing apps and no frame-accurate review, so Sync works best as an encrypted store and delivery drive.

Box suits video teams inside larger companies, where legal, IT and marketing already share one content platform. Every business plan includes unlimited storage, but the per-file limits decide whether it works for video: 5 GB on Business, 15 GB on Business Plus, 50 GB on Enterprise, 150 GB on Enterprise Plus and up to 500 GB on Enterprise Advanced. Box's support pages also cap uploads through Box Drive and Box Sync at 15 GB per file regardless of plan, and shared folders follow the owner's limit. Business plans require at least 3 users and include 1,500+ integrations and SOC 1/2/3 compliance support. The free Individual plan has 10 GB with a 250 MB upload cap, which is too small for video. Box's pricing page showed EUR from our location, so the USD price check is pending.
