SAN JOSE, CA - At NAB Show 2026, Adobe (adobe.com) introduced Frame.io Drive, a cloud solution that makes media quickly accessible to collaborators but without the need for each creative to download it. Users simply mount Frame.io projects to their desktop and media becomes live in Premiere, Photoshop, After Effects and any other tool in their workflow. There is no waiting for downloads and work can begin the moment the project is mounted.
Frame.io Drive is a desktop application that connects Frame.io projects on a computer. Once mounted, media appears in Finder or Explorer and behaves like local files inside creative tools. Editors can access footage directly in Premiere, while designers can access layered assets in Photoshop. Motion designers can also begin compositing in After Effects. This all happens without the need to download media.
Frame.io Drive builds on the foundation of the Frame.io Transfer app. With Frame.io Drive, collaborators each mount the same project and work from one source. There is no need to send transfer links, maintain separate storage systems or ship drives between locations. Teams stay aligned because they are all working from the same files, in the same project, at the same time.
This shared workspace becomes a single source of truth for an entire production. Media, metadata, permissions and project structure all live together, making it easier to find what is needed, track progress and keep teams coordinated. Instead of managing copies, teams work directly on the same underlying assets.
Frame.io Drive is powered by Frame.io Mounted Storage, a new architecture built for realtime access to large media files. Media streams as applications request it, while local caching keeping performance fast on even the largest files. Teams can now work with high-resolution assets without waiting for full downloads. Frame.io Drive is now available.
