Cloud Storage for Music and Entertainment Industry — Manage Media with RcloneView
Recording studios, music labels, and entertainment companies generate enormous volumes of high-value audio and video files. RcloneView automates their cloud backup, delivery, and archiving across 90+ providers.
A recording studio producing an album generates 50–300 GB of raw session data per project: multi-track ProTools sessions, stem files, mix iterations, and final masters in uncompressed AIFF or WAV format. A video production company shooting a 4K documentary accumulates 2–8 TB of raw footage per week. For both, losing a session or a shoot to hardware failure is catastrophic — and a single storage solution is never sufficient. RcloneView provides the automation layer to back up, distribute, and archive media assets across cloud providers without manual intervention.

Multi-Cloud Backup for High-Value Session Files
Recording studios benefit from the 3-2-1 backup rule: 3 copies, 2 different media, 1 offsite. RcloneView's 1:N sync makes this easy — configure one Sync job that writes session files to both Backblaze B2 (cheap, reliable cloud archive) and Google Drive (accessible for remote collaboration) simultaneously. Both destinations receive the same data in one job run, from a single local source.
For a studio with 10 active sessions and 20 TB of archived projects, set up separate jobs by project status: active sessions sync hourly to Backblaze B2, completed archives copy to Amazon S3 Glacier-compatible cold storage monthly. Job History logs each run for insurance and contractual compliance documentation.
Delivering Files to Artists and Collaborators
Record labels and studios regularly deliver files to artists, producers, and mastering engineers. Rather than uploading to shared folders manually, use RcloneView to sync approved deliverable folders (final mixes, stems, artwork) to a shared Google Drive or Dropbox location on a schedule. New files placed in the source folder are automatically pushed to the shared destination — no file-by-file manual upload.
For international collaborations, use Amazon S3 or Cloudflare R2 to pre-position files near collaborators in different regions. RcloneView's cloud-to-cloud sync can replicate from a US S3 bucket to a European Cloudflare R2 bucket, reducing download latency for overseas collaborators.
Archiving Completed Projects to Cold Storage
Once a project is released, the raw session files move from active storage to a deep archive. Use RcloneView's Copy job to move completed project folders from Backblaze B2 to Amazon S3 with Glacier-compatible storage class, or to a dedicated cold storage bucket at minimal cost per GB. Set a file age filter to automatically identify projects with no modifications in 90+ days as archival candidates.
The Folder Compare feature is useful for confirming archive completeness — compare the active session folder against the archive bucket to verify every stem, mix version, and session file landed correctly before removing the active copy.
