The Blackmagic Cloud Pod turns any USB-C drive into powerful network storage. It’s ideal for fast media sharing across your office or post-production team. With a built-in 10G Ethernet port, you get blazing-fast file access—even with multiple users connected at once. This makes it a top choice for editors, colorists, and media teams who need fast, shared access to footage right off the camera. This compact Cloud Pod supports up to 50 users and connects via SMB file sharing. Plug in any USB-C external drive (formatted in ExFAT or HFS+), and you’re ready to go. There’s no need for expensive storage servers or complex setups. An HDMI monitor output lets you view system stats in real time. This includes your drive’s status, sync activity, user load, and network speed graphs. You also get glowing red indicators during read/write operations, so you always know when your storage is active. The Blackmagic Design Cloud Pod comes with Blackmagic Cloud software, including the Setup Utility and Proxy Generator Lite, to help you manage syncs and configure your storage easily. It supports macOS 14.3 Sonoma or later, and Windows 10/11 (64-bit). Setup is simple over USB-C or Ethernet. This Blackmagic Cloud Pod is small, powerful, and made for creators who want speed, flexibility, and team collaboration without the heavy price tag.
