== Overview ==
The '''Cloud Storage Management''' system in [[ACT3AI|ACT 3 AI]] provides secure, scalable storage for all your projects, scripts, assets, and rendered outputs. 
It allows creators and organizations to manage project files without worrying about local storage limits, ensuring seamless collaboration and fast access across devices.


== Overview ==
== Key Capabilities ==
Cloud Storage Management in [[ACT3AI|ACT 3 AI]] governs how user-generated assets—such as videos, scripts, renders, and metadata—are stored, metered, and maintained in the platform’s cloud infrastructure. It ensures efficient resource usage, quota enforcement, and secure data access per organization.
* '''Centralized Storage:''' All [[Projects|projects]] are stored in the cloud for easy access. 
* '''Asset Management:''' Upload and organize [[Import_BRoll|B-Roll]], scripts, audio files, and custom assets. 
* '''Version Control:''' Maintain versions of scripts, [[Scenes|scenes]], and edits. 
* '''Access Control:''' Share projects with your [[Organization|team]] using role-based permissions. 
* '''Backup & Recovery:''' Automatic backups with recovery options for deleted assets.
* '''Scalable Capacity:''' Expand storage as your project library grows.


== 1. Purpose ==
== How to Use ==
* Store all project assets in the cloud for anytime access
# Open the [[Dashboard|dashboard]] or [[Editor|Editor workspace]]. 
* Enforce usage quotas based on [[Subscription_Plan]]
# Navigate to **Cloud Storage** in the sidebar. 
* Enable fast cleanup, archiving, and storage optimization
# Upload new assets (scripts, audio, B-roll, textures, LUTs). 
* Isolate data securely per [[Organization]]
# Organize assets into folders (by [[Projects|project]], [[Scenes|scene]], or [[Shots|shot]]). 
# Manage permissions for collaborators in the [[Organization|Organization Settings]]. 
# Download or export completed assets when needed. 


== 2. Storage Quotas by Plan ==
== Storage Tiers ==
* '''Starter:''' 10 GB included
* '''Basic Plan:''' Limited storage bundled with standard [[Subscription_Plan|subscription plans]]. 
* '''Creator:''' 100 GB included
* '''Professional/Studio Plans:''' Larger storage quotas with shared [[Organization|organization]] access. 
* '''Studio:''' 500 GB included
* '''Enterprise Solutions:''' Custom storage capacity and dedicated servers. 
* '''Enterprise:''' Custom storage capacity
* Overages prompt upgrade recommendations in [[Billing_Model]]

* [[Import_BRoll|B-Roll assets]] and footage can be organized into project folders. 
* [[Digital_Actors|Character presets and animation files]] (FBX, USDZ)
* [[Build_Video|Build Video]] outputs (renders, previews, exports) are automatically saved. 
* Uploaded media ([[Audio_Tracks|voiceover]], images, backgrounds)
* Shared access allows multiple editors to collaborate on the same cloud-stored files.

== Best Practices ==
* Real-time size tracking of all assets
* Keep each project in its own folder for clarity. 
* Metered per-organization
* Use consistent naming conventions for [[Scenes|scenes]] and [[Shots|shots]]. 
* [[Dashboard|Usage dashboard]] with breakdown by project and file type
* Archive old projects to free active storage space. 
* Automatic alerts at 80%, 95%, and 100% usage thresholds
* Regularly back up locally if working on high-stakes projects. 


== 5. Deletion & Cleanup Tools ==
== Troubleshooting ==
* '''Delete All Videos (Project):''' Wipes only render outputs
* '''Storage full''' → Upgrade your [[Subscription_Plan|plan]] or purchase add-on storage. 
* '''Delete All Videos (Org):''' Removes all rendered files platform-wide
* '''Missing assets''' → Check [[Organization|permissions]] and activity logs. 
* '''Auto-Purge on Archive:''' Media deleted after account is archived
* '''Slow upload/download''' → Verify internet connection; use compressed formats for large files. 
* '''Bulk Delete UI:''' Select multiple assets for removal
* '''Conflicting versions''' → Use built-in version control to restore the correct file.
