Take your studio anywhere

Share your media everywhere

You can automatically transcode your media with MOD, then backup, sync, and transfer your source and/or proxy files to the cloud automatically, without tying up your workstation.

Does it work with Dropbox and Amazon S3?

Yes, and more!
MOD’s built-in workflow tools make it easy to sync, transfer, and backup your files to Dropbox, Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, Wasabi, Backblaze, Google Cloud Platform, and EVO Cloud.

A cloud’s best friend

Speed up your cloud production workflow with MOD as an edge device.
Automatically transcode, sync, transfer, and backup your media to cloud storage—all with the power of MOD.

You can edit directly from the server and collaborate in the cloud. MOD works seamlessly with Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, Dropbox, Google Cloud Platform, Wasabi, Backblaze, EVO Cloud, and more.

What's an Edge device?

An edge device sits on the “edge” of your network and facilitates data processing tasks to and from the cloud.
For example, you can push media files from MOD into the cloud—or pull content from the cloud down to the server—all using the power of your MOD edge device.

MOD can also take on computing tasks like transcoding, which can simultaneously minimize your cloud computing requirements and streamline your cloud workflow. Win, win.
