Steve Wozniak says he hasnāt been this excited about an innovation since Apple II.
Heās talking about Air (via Cameo video for today's launch of Air for Teams).
Letās back up. Air launched three years ago, looking to fix clunky cloud storage experiences. āThree years, and nearly 100,000+ users later, I feel confident in saying: we found the better way,ā co-founder Shane Hegde shared.
If youāve been seeing more of Air lately, it's probably because the team closed a $10M "Operator Round" in January and announced plans to use the capital to accelerate the company's go-to-market motion. Prior to that, Air said over 90% of its growth was organic thanks to traction within the D2C community in New York and word-of-mouth. Many of those early adopters are chiming in today to praise the simple UI.
For those who are new to it, Air isnāt just storage ā itās similar to Notion and Airtable in that itās a cloud-collaboration tool, plus it's a digital asset management system (DAM). Users can import videos and images and Air automates organization with image and color recognition. Boards help teams collaborate and distribute content, and todayās update adds integrations that make the process even easier.
Real-time sync means that your assets stay up to date while you work with editing tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, and more. Slack integrations help you work faster. And this might be what Woz is most excited about: āAir flowā lets you view, search, and manage your āAirpsaceā right from Appleās Finder. There are also saved filters and new private spaces and permission levels are coming soon.
āAir wouldnāt be what it is without our community,ā ends Hegde. So the team is offering up a discount today and asking what you want to see next.
