The Blackmagic Design Cloud Store Mini 8TB is a compact, high-performance network-attached storage device engineered to streamline media workflows for individual video professionals and small creative teams. It functions as a personal, high-speed media cache that is perpetually synchronized with cloud storage services. By connecting directly to a computer via USB-C, it provides fast, local-drive performance for editing and color grading, while its 10 Gigabit Ethernet port continuously and quietly mirrors the data to a connected cloud service like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Backblaze B2 in the background. This creates an automatic, off-site backup of all active projects without requiring manual uploads, effectively blending the immediacy of local storage with the safety and accessibility of the cloud.

Housed in a sleek, desktop-friendly aluminum enclosure, the Cloud Store Mini is designed for simplicity and reliability. Its integrated software manages the synchronization process intelligently, using block-level copying to efficiently update only the parts of files that have changed. For DaVinci Resolve users, it offers deep integration, supporting optimized media and proxy workflows directly from the drive. The 8TB capacity provides ample space for current projects while the cloud sync ensures a seamless archive. This device is ideal for freelance editors, cinematographers, and small studios that require a robust, "set-and-forget" storage solution, enabling them to work at full speed on local media while their data is automatically secured and made accessible from anywhere, fundamentally simplifying digital asset management.
