Sharing my latest production system

I had issues organizing, managing, storing extremely large (10 TB) raw footages,

and efficiently pulling them for editors to work on.

Sharing my current workflow, in case anyone finds it helpful

I use a NAS and Dropbox for perpetual storage
Gdrive for editorial flow
save corresponding raw footage to folders for editors
each Gdrive folder also has media assets and sounds for each content piece
I Auto rename all files in Dropbox via automations using a set rule (such as date_location_description)
Each content gets a new google drive folder with name of the folder being content ID
As the editor edits the video we will collaborate on Frame.io or other tools
Once content has been produced and published, I DELETE the raw media from that GDrive folder (to save storage space, but the downside here is you cannot easily find the raw files if you have to reedit the video later)

What’s your workflow?

Would love to discuss!
