SSD full in the middle of a Premiere Pro edit?
Move originals to the cloud, keep lightweight proxies locally, and reclaim space on demand.
The worst moment in editing
You drop a clip on the timeline and Premiere throws a disk-full warning. Media Encoder refuses to export. You start hunting through Finder or Explorer for the heaviest folders, and you end up deleting shoots you might actually need later. Ten minutes of cleanup becomes half a day.
Manual cleanup has a cost: you lose track of what lived where, you delete the wrong thing once or twice per quarter, and the problem returns the moment you ingest a new card.
Automatic cleanup, safe deletion, pin what matters
Sanbila stores originals in the cloud and keeps only proxies (10 to 50 times smaller) on your SSD. The local cache has a configurable size limit (50 GB by default). When the limit is hit, LRU eviction removes the least recently used proxies first, never touching originals.
Pin the rushes of the project you are currently editing to exclude them from eviction. Unpin when delivered. The cache stays healthy on its own, and your originals are always one WebDAV stream away if you need them back.
Configurable cache limit
Set the local SSD budget between 5 GB and 500 GB. The oldest proxies are evicted automatically.
Pin critical projects
Protect active projects from eviction. They stay on disk until you unpin them.
Originals always recoverable
Every original is on R2 and backed up on B2. A deleted proxy is re-streamed on demand.

Frequently asked questions
How is Sanbila different from the proxy generator built into my NLE?+
Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro and Avid all generate proxies locally, but they keep the original full-resolution files on the same SSD — so the disk fills up twice. Sanbila stores the originals in the cloud (Cloudflare R2) and keeps only the lightweight proxies on your machine. At export, Smart Relink streams the originals back via a local WebDAV mount, so you finish at full quality without ever downloading the source files.
Does Sanbila work offline?+
Yes for editing — once a proxy is cached on your SSD, you can cut, trim, color and arrange your timeline without an internet connection. You only need network access for the initial import (uploading originals to the cloud) and for the final export (streaming originals back via WebDAV).
How much cloud storage does the free plan include?+
The free plan includes 5 GB of cloud storage and one project, with no credit card required. Paid plans start at $49 per month for 2 TB and 50 projects, going up to 25 TB on the Enterprise plan with overage billing for teams that need more.
What upload speed do I need to use Sanbila?+
Any broadband connection works for the initial upload — Sanbila chunks files into 50 MB parts and uploads in parallel, so a typical 100 Mbps fiber line uploads 1 hour of 4K H.264 footage in about 6 minutes. After upload, day-to-day editing happens on local proxies, so your connection speed only matters again at export time when originals are streamed.
Which video formats does Sanbila support?+
Sanbila handles 22+ formats out of the box: MP4, MOV, MXF, R3D (RED RAW), BRAW (Blackmagic RAW), ARRI proxies, ProRes, DNxHR, DNxHD, H.264, H.265, plus WAV and AAC for audio. Both 4K and 8K sources are supported up to 200 GB per single file (URL imports have no size limit).
Stop deleting shoots in a panic
Install Sanbila and let the cache manage itself. Free plan includes 5 GB cloud storage.
