Storage for newsrooms and media teams

Photographers hand in from the field. Editors export layouts. Video comes in by the gigabyte. It lands on a server somebody set up years ago, in a bucket nobody can search, and in a Dropbox that is always full. The question that matters — *where is the file from Tuesday?* — takes twenty minutes and a Slack thread.

BucketPilot puts all of it in one place you can search, keeps a copy of it on a schedule, and gives everyone on the desk a way to hand files in without a console, a key or a ticket.

BucketPilot Drop is a drive on a Mac or a PC. Whatever lands in it is uploaded to the bucket and folder you chose, confirmed, and cleared. Reporters sign in as themselves — their workspace, their role, the folders they may write to — and never see a key.

For people outside the building, Watch this folder gives the desk a drop link and one notification per batch when files land — in the app and by email — so nobody refreshes a folder waiting for a delivery.

Every bucket and server you connect is indexed, so the search box answers across all of them: by name, with wildcards, by type, size or date. A newsroom archive of a few million files searches in well under a second, and the same index tells you which files are duplicated and what the archive costs each month.

A backup job copies a bucket or a server's folder to a second place on a schedule — nightly is typical — and never deletes anything at the destination. Turn on versioning at the destination and an overwritten layout or a deleted photo is one click from restored. The job page shows every run, and an email tells the desk when a run needs attention.

Most newsrooms still have one: the machine the CMS uploads to, the NAS the video team fills. Connect it over SSH and it appears beside your buckets — browse it, search it, back it up to a bucket every night, or migrate it off entirely when the lease ends. Windows and Linux alike.

A Business workspace holds the whole team: admins manage everything, members work without touching credentials or deletes, viewers look but never break. Every action is on the record, and a Monday digest tells the editor what grew, what it costs and what was backed up.
