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.
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.


== 1. Purpose ==
== Key Capabilities ==
* Store all project assets in the cloud for anytime access
* '''Centralized Storage:''' All [[Projects|projects]] are stored in the cloud for easy access. 
* Enforce usage quotas based on [[Subscription_Plan]]
* '''Asset Management:''' Upload and organize [[Import_BRoll|B-Roll]], scripts, audio files, and custom assets. 
* Enable fast cleanup, archiving, and storage optimization
* '''Version Control:''' Maintain versions of scripts, [[Scenes|scenes]], and edits. 
* Isolate data securely per [[Organization]]
* '''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. 


== 2. Storage Quotas by Plan ==
== How to Use ==
* '''Starter:''' 10 GB included
# Open the [[Dashboard|dashboard]] or [[Editor|Editor workspace]]. 
* '''Creator:''' 100 GB included
# Navigate to **Cloud Storage** in the sidebar. 
* '''Studio:''' 500 GB included
# Upload new assets (scripts, audio, B-roll, textures, LUTs). 
* '''Enterprise:''' Custom storage capacity
# Organize assets into folders (by [[Projects|project]], [[Scenes|scene]], or [[Shots|shot]]). 
* Overages prompt upgrade recommendations in [[Billing_Model]]
# Manage permissions for collaborators in the [[Organization|Organization Settings]]. 
# Download or export completed assets when needed. 


== 3. Tracked Assets ==
== Storage Tiers ==
* Video renders (MP4, ProRes, DCP)
* '''Basic Plan:''' Limited storage bundled with standard [[Subscription_Plan|subscription plans]]. 
* [[Import_Script|Scripts]] and shot metadata (YAML, JSON)
* '''Professional/Studio Plans:''' Larger storage quotas with shared [[Organization|organization]] access. 
* [[Digital_Actors|Character presets and animation files]] (FBX, USDZ)
* '''Enterprise Solutions:''' Custom storage capacity and dedicated servers. 
* Uploaded media ([[Audio_Tracks|voiceover]], images, backgrounds)
* [[Version_History]] and snapshots


== 4. Storage Metering ==
== Integration with Workflow ==
* Real-time size tracking of all assets
* [[Import_Script|Import Scripts]] and [[Export_Script|Export Scripts]] are stored in your cloud workspace. 
* Metered per-organization
* [[Import_BRoll|B-Roll assets]] and footage can be organized into project folders. 
* [[Dashboard|Usage dashboard]] with breakdown by project and file type
* [[Build_Video|Build Video]] outputs (renders, previews, exports) are automatically saved. 
* Automatic alerts at 80%, 95%, and 100% usage thresholds
* Shared access allows multiple editors to collaborate on the same cloud-stored files. 


== 5. Deletion & Cleanup Tools ==
== Best Practices ==
* '''Delete All Videos (Project):''' Wipes only render outputs
* Keep each project in its own folder for clarity. 
* '''Delete All Videos (Org):''' Removes all rendered files platform-wide
* Use consistent naming conventions for [[Scenes|scenes]] and [[Shots|shots]]. 
* '''Auto-Purge on Archive:''' Media deleted after account is archived
* Archive old projects to free active storage space. 
* '''Bulk Delete UI:''' Select multiple assets for removal
* Regularly back up locally if working on high-stakes projects. 


== 6. Archiving Policy ==
== Troubleshooting ==
* Downgrade to Archive plan sets storage to zero
* '''Storage full''' → Upgrade your [[Subscription_Plan|plan]] or purchase add-on storage. 
* User must manually delete media within 30 days
* '''Missing assets''' → Check [[Organization|permissions]] and activity logs. 
* Scripts and text-based files remain downloadable
* '''Slow upload/download''' → Verify internet connection; use compressed formats for large files. 
* After 30 days, generation is disabled until re-subscription
* '''Conflicting versions''' → Use built-in version control to restore the correct file.
