***BETA ONLY AVAILABLE FOR MAC***
Overview
Strada Connect is a Virtual File System that allows you to access any connected Strada Agent (computer, drive or folder) that you've been invited to. By accessing files in the Finder, Strada Connect allows you to drag+drop files from remote computers directly into your local applications. This beta is only available for users with paid accounts.
Strada Connect is in beta and should only be used for testing and exploration purposes. Please use caution and keep backups of any important files while testing Strada Connect.

Current Limitations - Version 2026.3.20-2
The Strada Connect Beta is new and should only be used for testing. Some current limitations as of Version 2026.3.20-2
• Strada Connect does not yet have any caching. F
or best results, generate 3Mb-5Mb proxy (1920x1080) files for remote access in Strada Connect. This will be ideal for remote drag+drop editing.
• Strada Connect is READ ONLY
You can drag+drop FROM Agent directories in the finder into your local applications, but you cannot yet drag+drop files BACK TO remote Agents in the Finder (WRITE functionality will come in a future update).
• Strada Connect may require relinking
If you drag+drop files into your NLE and Strada Connect becomes unmounted, you may need to close your project, reconnect Strada Connect, then reopen the project.
• Strada Connect Beta will require many updates as we continue developing. Automatic Updates is the default setting. Please stay up to date and "Check for Updates" on a regular basis because new updates and improvements will be deployed on a regular basis. It's important to be up-to-date in order to provide feedback.
