Spools, a cloud drive for enormous video files
Spools presents cloud storage that streams only the portions of large video files being edited, while preserving versions and resumable uploads.
Field notes
The service is organized around large media objects rather than ordinary document sync: the page shows 60–64 GB footage files, multipart uploads, and a 412 MB streamed edit against a 60 GB master. Overwrites become restorable versions, while MCP and API access are intended to let agents browse footage and retrieve specific revisions. The page shows a native Mac app and web app; Windows support and file locking are identified as unfinished or planned.
