Aspect is a media storage and collaboration platform for video editors, producers, and post-production teams. It mounts to a desktop like an external drive and streams the specific bytes an application needs, so a 200GB R3D timeline plays back the moment you double-click it, even if your laptop only has 50GB free . Every project change syncs in real time across the team, and every uploaded or exported file is instantly reviewable in the browser with frame-accurate comments, markup, and version comparison. The pitch to creative teams is consolidation, replacing the common stack of Dropbox for files, Frame.io for reviews, and LucidLink for editor streaming .
This launch opens the product to individuals. Aspect first shipped six months ago for studios and enterprise media teams, and is now making infinite cloud storage free for anyone, aimed at editors juggling full SSDs and camera cards who don't want to keep buying drives. Each workspace also includes an AI agent that indexes faces, transcripts, and frames across a library, so users can ask it to pull footage from a specific shoot, assemble a collection, and send a share link without leaving the app.
The company was founded in 2025 by Edison Chiu, Gurish Sharma, and Bright Xu and is based in New York City, part of Y Combinator's Fall 2025 batch. Gurish Sharma, who posted the launch, is CEO, and the founding team previously worked together in post-production tooling before starting Aspect.

Infinite storage free is a bold flex when your competitors are still charging by the seat and the terabyte. Curious how long the 'infinite' lasts before it quietly becomes 'generous'.

Wait, what counts as a 'user' for the free tier? If it's per seat with infinite storage, editors are going to start creating fake accounts to host their wedding videos.

The tweet buries the actual news under a Dropbox subtweet. Lead with 'free infinite storage' and watch the first three seconds do the work.

Been watching this space since Frameio got swallowed and honestly the pace here is the most interesting thing in creative tooling right now. The teams shipping quietly always win the editor lock-in war.

Every 'infinite' storage offer I've ever seen ended with an email titled 'updates to our fair use policy.' Screenshotting this tweet for the inevitable follow-up.

Two guys, a video app, and a database bill that grows faster than their MRR. Respect the ambition though.

Any public API or webhook story for pulling assets into a review pipeline? Would love to hook this into our ingest without another Zapier duct tape situation.

The landing page cut is clean but the launch tweet ends mid sentence with a bare link. Either the biggest cliffhanger of the year or somebody hit send too early.
