Orientation, first steps, and how to think in workspaces.
Mount-style access, stream cache, and fast editing workflows.
Galleries, review, and polished handoff.
Shared workspaces, roles, and collaboration.
Local storage choices and speed when you are on the move.
Bizzi Cloud is cloud storage and a creative workflow platform in one. It is built for large media—video, photo, production assets—and for how real teams review, edit, and ship work.
Footage, stills, project files, and delivery packages live in organized workspaces—not scattered drives.
Access feels like a creative drive: open what you need, work with lightweight previews first, finish in full quality.
Proof in galleries, hand off with transfers—review and delivery are first-class, not an afterthought.
If you have only used generic cloud tools, you might expect uploads, sharing links, and little else. Bizzi starts from a different question: how do photographers, editors, and production teams actually move from ingest to final handoff? That is why workspaces, previews, galleries, and transfers sit on the same platform.
You can think of Bizzi as the place your active projects live in the cloud—where your team finds the right version, clients leave clear feedback, and nothing important is stuck on a single laptop.
Learn how this differs from generic storage in How Bizzi is different and walk the setup in Getting started.
Generic cloud tools optimize for documents and light sharing. Bizzi optimizes for creative media—big files, repeated playback, proofing, and team coordination.
| Topic | Typical cloud storage | Bizzi Cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Primary job | Store and link files | Store, review, edit-access, and deliver creative work |
| Organization | Folders you manage yourself | Workspaces tuned for brands, clients, and projects |
| Editing | Download first, often manual | Lightweight previews, stream cache, mount-style access |
| Clients | Generic download links | Galleries for proofing + transfers for delivery |
Generic tools are fine for PDFs and light assets. Creative workflows need repeated access to huge files, clear review loops, and predictable handoff. Bizzi connects those dots instead of leaving you to glue ten tools together.
A quick clarity check—so expectations match how the platform is designed.
If you are comparing tools, use the sections on galleries, transfers, and mount-style access to see how pieces fit.
A simple path from empty workspace to delivered work—no jargon, just the order of operations most teams follow.
You do not need every feature on day one. Most creators start with structure, uploads, and one client review flow—then layer editing performance and team habits as projects grow.
Short guides for the main areas of the platform. Read the card for the section you are using, follow the steps, then move on.

Shared
Open Shared when someone sends work to you. Review access, open the item, then save or download only what you need.
Deleted files
Use Deleted files when something was removed by mistake. Restore what you still need before permanent cleanup.
Settings
Update account, billing, storage, power-ups, and workspace preferences before a busy delivery week.
Desktop app
Use the desktop app when you want drive-style access, stream cache, and faster editing workflows on your machine.
If you ever feel lost, start with the left navigation: Home, Galleries, Shared, Transfers, Deleted files, and Settings. Each area answers one question: where is my work, who needs to see it, and what needs to be delivered?
For the fastest path, set the workspace first, keep files organized in the right folder, then choose whether the next step is review in a gallery or delivery through a transfer.
The same platform supports different creative roles—here is how each typically benefits.
One workspace for every project: ingest, organize, proof, and deliver without juggling five services.
Fast access to active projects, lightweight previews for cutting, and clean delivery when the job wraps.
Galleries for selects and proofing, branding for client trust, and transfers when files need to leave the cloud.
Large footage, repeatable playback, and workflows that respect how NLEs actually pull media.
Shared workspaces, coordinated folders, and review flows that keep producers and post aligned.
Multi-client organization, team roles, and polished client experiences without exposing your whole drive.
Scale storage, standardize delivery, and keep long-term libraries searchable and accessible.
A workspace is your creative home in Bizzi—where files, galleries, and delivery belong to a clear context: you, your team, or your client work.
Personal workspaces suit individual creators. Team-style workspaces help agencies and studios separate internal work from client-facing delivery while keeping everyone in the same system.
Most teams organize by brand → project → phase or client → job → deliverables. However you slice it, consistency matters more than any “perfect” taxonomy.
Creative libraries only stay useful when structure matches how people search—not how a drive defaulted on day one.
Do
Avoid
Bizzi holds footage, photos, audio, graphics, and documents together—so think in terms of production phases and handoff points, not only file types.
Bring media in with drag-and-drop uploads and cloud-side imports. The goal is simple: get to a trusted master library fast.
Coming soon: camera card convenience
A premium workflow many creators want: insert a card, import with clear naming, and let the cloud become the system of record—without slow manual babysitting. Watch this space as Bizzi expands ingest options.
Whether you are moving a day’s shoot or migrating an old drive, aim for predictable folder targets and consistent naming—your future self (and your editor) will thank you.
Pair uploads with organization habits and the workflow examples at the end of this page.
Two valid ways to work: keep media primarily in the cloud and open on demand, or keep full copies on disk for offline and maximum responsiveness.
Feels like a virtual creative drive.
Full copies on your machine.
If you have ever wished your cloud felt like plugging in a fast SSD, that is the idea behind mount-style access—without pretending that internet conditions do not exist. When travel or offline dominates, local storage wins; when collaboration and breadth dominate, cloud-first wins.
Next: how Bizzi keeps active sessions snappy in Stream cache & speed.
Stream cache is a local speed layer: recently used footage stays ready so playback and scrubbing feel responsive during real editing sessions.
Think in three sizes
Editors notice cache most during active sessions: you loop the same selects, revise the same cuts, and scrub the same moments. Stream cache is there to make that repetition feel smooth.
You can work faster when your timeline starts with responsive previews, then moves to full-quality files for finishing—without confusing your collaborators with duplicate assets everywhere.
Plain-language pipeline
This is the “fast feels first, quality finishes last” mindset that modern post often needs—especially when editors are remote or storage is massive.
Bizzi’s editor experience is built around creative speed: getting to the right media, staying in flow, and avoiding unnecessary downloads.
Expect media access, smart previews, and editing convenience to work together—so you spend time on story and picture, not on babysitting file paths. Pair this with mount-style access and stream cache when projects get heavy.
Clients review photos and videos in a focused gallery experience—favorites, selects, and clear feedback—separate from simply downloading finals.
Go to Galleries, choose the client or project gallery, and confirm whether it is photo, video, or mixed.
Upload directly into the gallery, or click Add From Files to use media already in your storage.
Gallery uploads are stored under the Gallery Media drive in that gallery's folder. Add From Files keeps the original in Storage and adds a gallery reference.
Set the cover, highlights, branding, access mode, favorites, comments, and download settings before sharing.
Clients favorite photos, submit selects, or leave review notes. Use that feedback to finalize the right assets.
Use a transfer when the client is ready to download masters or packaged deliverables.
Gallery Media
The organized drive where gallery-uploaded assets live.
Add From Files
Links existing Storage files into the gallery without re-uploading.
Highlights
A curated client tab for the clips or images you want to feature.
Proofing is the decision phase. Delivery is the logistics phase. Bizzi keeps both clear so clients can review comfortably before anyone sends the final download package.
A simple rule helps: if the client needs to choose, comment, or approve, use a gallery. If the client is ready to download the final package, use a transfer.
Transfers package large deliveries for clients: structured links, optional protections, and a better experience than random ad-hoc downloads.
Transfer tab map
All: Every transfer in the current workspace.
Active: Links clients can still open.
Expired: Past deliveries you may need to review or clean up.
Files: The file browser for transfer package folders and transfer-ready assets.
Open Transfers from the sidebar. Use All, Active, and Expired to find existing links.
Create a transfer, then drop files into Files to transfer or select existing uploaded files for an instant transfer.
Add the client name, optional email, password or expiration, permission, and invoice gate if needed.
After the transfer is created, copy the client link or open View transfer to preview it first.
Use opens, downloads, Analytics, and Edit to follow up or adjust an active delivery.
Switch to the Files subview to browse transfer package folders and the files behind your deliveries.
If you have ever lost a client in a confusing download flow, you already know why structured delivery matters as much as storage size.
Transfers are best after a gallery approval, after an edit is final, or anytime the main job is simply: send these files clearly and track what happened.
Invite collaborators, share workspaces, and coordinate roles so agencies and studios can run production without chaos.
Shared assets, review workflows, and workspace boundaries help teams stay aligned—especially when producers, editors, and clients each need different visibility.
Position Bizzi as the shared creative system of record—not a pile of personal drives with conflicting copies. Start from workspaces, then tighten habits in performance modes.
Pick a playbook that matches how and where you work—then adjust cache, local storage, and collaboration habits.
Fast remote editing
Emphasize stream cache + mount-style access; keep project folders tight.
Travel and offline prep
Store key projects locally; resync when you are back on solid internet.
Agency collaboration
Shared workspaces, clear client folders, galleries for review.
Large client deliveries
Transfers for packages; galleries for approvals beforehand.
Photographer proofing
Galleries first; transfers for finals and add-on purchases.
Production houses
Scale storage deliberately; standardize naming and archive policy.
These are starting points, not rules—mix and match as your roster of clients and projects changes.
Bizzi scales with you: add storage as libraries grow, and treat upgrades as part of production planning—not an emergency.
Creative businesses rarely shrink their libraries year over year. The goal is predictable growth: align workspace structure and delivery habits early so storage decisions feel boring instead of frantic.

Straight answers to questions creators ask before they commit to a new workflow.
Yes—that is the idea. Bizzi is built so your media can feel like it lives on a fast creative drive. You work from previews and lightweight versions for speed, then move to full-quality files when you are ready to finish. The desktop experience is designed around editing workflows, not just downloading everything first.
No. You can open and work with what you need, when you need it. Stream cache keeps recently used clips feeling responsive, and lightweight previews help you stay fast on the timeline before you pull full-resolution media for final export.
Think of it as a local speed layer. Bizzi can keep recently used footage ready on your machine so playback, scrubbing, and active sessions feel smoother. You choose how much space to dedicate—small, medium, or larger—based on your projects and disk space.
Mount-style access feels like a virtual creative drive: files stay in the cloud, and you open them on demand. Storing locally (native sync style) keeps full copies on disk for offline work or maximum responsiveness. Many teams mix both—cloud access for breadth, local storage for travel or heavy sessions.
Yes. Galleries are built for proofing—clients can browse, favorite selects, and leave clear feedback. That is different from simply sending a raw download link: review happens in a structured, client-friendly experience.
Yes. Workspaces can be personal or shared. Teams invite members, share assets, and coordinate review and delivery—ideal for agencies, studios, and brands that need one home for production media.
Yes. Choose how much media you keep locally for offline prep, lean on stream cache for active work, and use performance recommendations for travel and remote editing. The platform is built for creators who move between set, studio, and home.
Organization starts with workspaces, folders, and project structure. You are not meant to treat Bizzi as an undifferentiated pile of files—think brands, clients, and projects. Previews and lightweight workflows help you navigate huge libraries without pulling every file down at once.
Transfers package files for clients with a polished handoff—links, optional passwords, and a clear download experience. Pair that with galleries for review, and you have both sides of the job: feedback and final delivery.
Generic cloud is built for documents and light sharing. Bizzi is built for creative media—editing workflows, proofing, team coordination, and delivery at production scale. The difference is in how you access, review, and ship work—not just where files sit.
