For creative teams working in Adobe Premiere Pro, storage isn't just about space—it's about speed, security, and seamless collaboration. As teams grow and timelines tighten, the limitations of external drives and patchwork file servers become all too obvious.
If you're tired of waiting for files to copy, losing track of project versions, or bottlenecking multiple editors on one machine, it's time to level up. This guide will explore the best shared storage solutions for Premiere Pro teams in 2025.
Video editing demands high-bandwidth performance, reliability, and the ability to share large files quickly. Shared storage enables:
Real-time collaboration between editors
Centralized project and media access
Fewer file duplication errors
Faster media ingestion and delivery
Whether you're in a studio or working remotely, shared storage is the backbone of a modern post-production workflow.
Not all storage is created equal. When choosing a solution for Adobe Premiere Pro, prioritize:
High throughput (1GbE, 10GbE, or higher) for editing HD/4K footage
RAID protection for media redundancy
Scalability as your projects grow
Integration with Adobe Premiere workflows
User access control and permission settings
Remote access capabilities
Purpose-built for video editors, the ProMAX Platform offers:
Blazing-fast performance for 4K/8K workflows
Seamless Premiere Pro project sharing
Built-in asset management
Automation for backups and file transfers
Remote access
It's a full solution for teams that want plug-and-play collaboration without IT headaches.
A cloud-native file system that streams files instead of downloading:
Works well for remote teams
Great for light editing workflows
Requires consistent high-speed internet
Good for dispersed teams with smaller media needs, but can struggle with large raw footage.
A well-known NAS solution designed for video editors:
Fast, local network performance
Easy setup and sharing
Higher cost and limited cloud integration
Great for in-office teams but less flexible for hybrid/remote work.
Affordable, DIY-friendly storage options:
Customizable RAID arrays
Support for SMB/AFP/NFS protocols
Varies in performance and reliability
Better for small teams with technical know-how, but less user-friendly and lacks integrated media management.
Local NAS: Fastest performance, limited to in-house teams
Cloud-Based: Remote-friendly, often slower with large files
Hybrid (like ProMAX): Best of both worlds with local speed + remote accessibility
Use a dedicated 10GbE network for editing machines
Organize media with clear folder structures
Use proxies for editing and relink to full-res on export
Set user permissions to prevent overwriting or data loss
ProMAX offers more than storage—it provides a full workflow solution:
Shared projects with version control
Built-in video asset management
Automation features tailored for post-production
Remote access that doesn't sacrifice performance
