Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Frame.io Drive and mounted storage? Frame.io Drive is the desktop app for macOS and Windows that connects your Frame.io projects to your computer, allowing you to mount projects to your desktop, transfer files reliably without interruption, and upload or download media at accelerated speed.
Mounted Storage is a storage type in Frame.io that uses streaming to let you open and work on your projects instantly, without downloading or syncing.
Used together, you can easily connect Frame.io to your desktop and work with your files instantly in your creative tools.
How is this different from other cloud storage or file syncing tools? Traditional cloud storage relies on downloading or syncing files to your device before you can start working, often creating duplicate copies and version confusion. Mounted Storage works differently. Your files stay in Frame.io and only the data you need is streamed as you work — so you can open and edit instantly without syncing or managing copies.
How much does Mounted Storage cost? Every Frame.io account includes a set amount of Mounted Storage to get started. As your needs grow, you can increase your storage capacity to scale with your team.
What happens if my internet connection is slow? Mounted Storage streams only the data needed at that moment, so files can open quickly even on standard connections. For best performance, files you’re actively working on can be cached locally so they become faster over time.
What happens if I go offline? Mounted Storage requires an active internet connection. If files are already cached, you can continue working, but access depends on maintaining a connection to Frame.io.
Can multiple people work on the same files? Yes. Multiple users can access the same files in a shared project. Changes are tracked automatically and every save is preserved as a version so work is never lost.
Does it work with my creative tools? Yes. Mounted Storage works with any application that reads from a file system, including Adobe Premiere, Photoshop, and third-party applications.
What file types are supported? Frame.io supports over 500 file types, including video, images, audio, documents, and project files that your creative tools can open.
