Safe, reliable and large enough to whatever your needs

A very quick and secure way to upload contents, making them available to start working with. also, the option to share in-progress or finished contents with customers.

PROS

How easy it is to share contents and, at the same time, control any others users/customers access options. Also the chance of adjust sizing storage along time according to your needs.

CONS

Due to access restrictions from some external networks, access may require some specific configurations.

Reason for choosing Ci Media Cloud

Mainly, the reliability and capacity to adjust size along time, without being tied to an only growing storage space.

Vendor Response

Ci Media Cloud saves me money as a small agency

I share videos with my clients regularly. I usually send video assets as well as images or other file types. Instead of eating up space in Google Drive I'm able to do it all here. Vimeo I used for video but then I would also need to send a link for other assets.

PROS

I was able to consolidate three platforms into one for sharing different types of assets with my clients. It was easy-to-use and I was able to get set up in minutes.

CONS

The branding for Ci Media Cloud is the only thing that I disliked. The solution fits perfect for me.

Reasons for switching to Ci Media Cloud

Cost savings and consolidated tools all in one.

Vendor Response

Hi Roger, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're so glad that Ci has been able to consolidate your workflow. Happy creating! The Ci Team

Great quality product and platform

I really enjoy it and it's made my production company more nimble and efficient with our workflows

PROS

I really enjoy the mediabox functionality and customizations as well as the benefit of uploading directly from my SonyFX6 into the cloud storage for my editors to review quicker and remotely.

CONS

What I like least about the Ci Media Cloud is that there is not a mobile version / app version

Reason for choosing Ci Media Cloud

I chose it over Frame.io because this integrated with my camera system

Must-Have App for Any Sony User

It has been a painless installation and works flawlessly. I love having this in my toolkit.

PROS

25GB of storage allows me to have a secure, off-site storage location with a secure, stable company. Being able to control my Sony cameras is an added, well-appreciated bonus.

CONS

So far, my response has been totally positive (and you can't beat the price!)
