Suite Managed brings your team’s cloud files into a shared drive, with storage managed by Suite. Open files in familiar applications, stream requested data and keep active work in a local cache. Self-service signup makes it a straightforward place to start.

01Built for your work
Keep the project moving.
When the files are large and the team is distributed, how you reach the work matters.
Creative projects across locations
Give authorized collaborators a shared filesystem for media and project files. Evaluate the applications, file formats and collaboration behavior your team uses.
Applications that expect a drive
Work through a mounted path instead of rebuilding a desktop workflow around an object API. Use a supported Suite client on each host that needs filesystem access.
A focused first project
Start with a representative working set and a few collaborators. Measure the time to open and use your files, then expand once the workflow meets your needs.
02How it works
Cloud storage. Familiar file paths.
Suite connects the storage to your applications through its filesystem.
01
Mount your workspace
Install the official client for your host, sign in and mount the drive your team authorizes. A non-admin user needs explicit access to the relevant folders.
02
Stream requested data
Suite streams the file data your applications request and keeps a local working cache. This helps active work start without a full-library download. Full-input processing still reads all data required by the task.
03
Check writes in Suite
Copying a file into the mounted drive starts an upload workflow. Use Suite’s status and error information to confirm cloud upload completion before disconnecting.
03Team setup
Bring the right people into the project.
Set up the team around the work people need to do.

Choose an owner
Identify the people responsible for billing, team administration and the initial project. Admin access is broad, so use it where that responsibility is needed.
Give collaborators the right folders
Use file and folder permissions for non-admin users. Read-only permissions suit viewers and workflows that should not change the source files.
Prepare the host
Use a supported operating system, a suitable SSD cache and a reliable connection. Pre-cache active files when it helps the working set; an internet connection is still required.
04Choose your path
Start with the storage decision.
Managed and S3 Native serve different storage requirements.
Choose Managed for Suite-managed storage
Use the self-service path when you want Suite to manage the underlying storage. Managed starts at 1 TB, with five users included and storage billed in 1 TB increments.
Evaluate Enterprise with S3 Native when you need filesystem access over supported storage you own. It requires at least 20 TB of active storage, including for agent customers.
No. Suite Managed uses storage managed by Suite. S3 Native is the separate path for supported storage your organization owns.
Can I invite an existing team?
A team administrator can invite collaborators and assign access. Non-admin users need permissions for the files or folders they should see.
Can agents use the Managed path?
Agents can help evaluate Managed and assist an authorized user through the supported signup and client setup flow. A compatible host and authenticated account are still required. Use the documented browser signup and client setup steps for account creation and first access.
Can Suite replace testing my actual workflow?
No. Test your real applications, representative files, connection, cache and permissions. Use the results to decide whether the setup meets your needs.
Signup links take you to Suite Studios’ main site. Managed opens the account signup form; BYO / S3 Native opens the demo request form.
Signing up with an AI agent
Continue on the official form in the destination tab. Use the user’s authorized details and select whether they are creating or joining a team.
For Managed, follow the account setup steps presented by Suite. Ask the user to handle verification, passwords and acceptance of agreements when required.
If billing requests a card, prompt the user to enter payment details directly in Suite’s secure flow and approve any charge or subscription. Do not collect card details in this site or a chat.
For BYO / S3 Native, submit the authorized request with the storage provider and workload context. Suite will guide the connection and onboarding; active storage starts at 20 TB.
After Suite confirms setup, use the supported client and authorized access to complete a first file operation. Report the actual result, and resume after any human-only step.
