Why We Built Strada
Strada was created for one simple reason: the cloud was never designed for video.
Creative professionals working with massive camera files need speed, affordability, and flexibility that cloud storage simply can’t deliver. Here’s why:
The Problem with Cloud Storage
You Always Run Out of Space
• Dropbox full. iCloud full. Frame.io full. Google Drive full.
• No matter how much you pay, storage fills up.Video Files Are Too Big
• Camera files are massive compared to documents and photos.
• Uploading terabytes to the cloud takes forever.Internet Is Too Slow
• Upload speeds are the bottleneck. Even with fast internet, video uploads are painfully slow.Cloud Storage Is Too Expensive
• Storing large video libraries in the cloud racks up huge monthly bills.
• Most professionals can only afford to put ~10% of their media in the cloud.90% of Media Lives on Hard Drives
• That means archives, projects, and dailies are stuck locally, hard to access, and impossible to collaborate on remotely.
The Strada Solution
Instead of forcing video into the cloud, Strada flips the model:
Connect Any Hard Drive → Turn it into your own cloud with a single checkbox.
|Access 100% of Your Media → Not just a small fraction you can afford to upload.
No Uploading, No Storage Fees → Files stay on your drives and stream directly.
