Born on a full NAS.
Stone started inside working studios that hit the same wall every year. The NAS filled up again. The finished project went onto a drive, into a padded envelope, onto a courier's van. The cloud was there the whole time — too slow to actually work in, priced to punish you for looking at your own files.
Eventually we stopped waiting for someone to sell us the thing we needed and built it ourselves: one filespace, every byte stored once, fast enough to edit against, safe enough to be the only copy. We're a small team of storage engineers and recovering studio people, based in Oslo. We've been on both sides of the upload bar. We prefer this side.
