The studio had shared files through FTP servers and worried about encryption and access control, with shared accounts and history management also a problem. Rollout began in May 2025, with accounts issued to staff in the production and business divisions. The studio used Dropbox Transfer and view-only links on Shiranuhi, directed by Ryo Katonosaka and released in theaters in August 2026.","whyItMatters":"A studio that runs its own theatrical distribution and overseas sales has moved day-to-day file exchange off in-house FTP, and the stated reasons are access control and audit trails rather than storage capacity.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe rollout started in May 2025 and reached all employees in the production and business divisions. Accounts are managed from an admin console, where deleting an account when someone leaves or takes leave takes a few clicks, and the studio says inquiries to administrators have dropped significantly.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShiranuhi, directed by Ryo Katonosaka and released in theaters in August 2026, ran past 300 cuts with frequent exchanges of large files.

Shared accounts and a missing file history were the operational leaks: production files moved with no record of who touched them.","twitterPost":"CoMix Wave Films left FTP because shared accounts and no file history meant nobody could trace who touched a production file.","threadsPost":"CoMix Wave Films' move to Dropbox Advanced started in May 2025, but the driver was governance, not storage. FTP gave the studio shared accounts with no per-user log, so encryption and access control were guesses. Dropbox Transfer and view-only links on Shiranuhi put a name on every file handoff.","newsletterBlurb":"Dropbox Japan published a case study on CoMix Wave Films using Dropbox Advanced for animation production file sharing, a shift away from FTP servers that began in May 2025. The studio cites encryption, view-only URLs, activity logs, and a 365-day data recovery function. Dropbox Transfer and view-only links handled large-file exchanges on Shiranuhi, directed by Ryo Katonosaka.","attributionJson":"[{\"source\":\"ASCII.jp\",\"url\":\"https://ascii.jp/elem/000/004/446/4446740/?rss\",\"title\":\"Streamlining Large-File Sharing in Anime Production: CoMix Wave Films Uses Dropbox\"}]","lintFlagsJson":null,"lintHits":0,"costUsd":0,"inputTokens":4864,"outputTokens":762,"status":"published","repairAttempts":0,"nextRepairAt":null,"factsAttemptedAt":1793243067,"createdAt":"2026-10-29T02:58:57.000Z","publishedAt":"2026-10-29T03:03:24.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-29T03:03:24.000Z"},"cluster":{"id":"c_2d4487b75a5409c5d6cb6397","canonicalTitle":"アニメ制作の大容量ファイル共有を効率化　コミックス・ウェーブ・フィルムがDropboxを活用","representativeArticleId":"a_d1a482354b5f4026f82e7c5c","sourceCount":1,"writtenSourceCount":1,"writeAttempts":0,"isSolo":true,"entitiesJson":"{\"anime_titles\":[],\"manga_titles\":[],\"work_titles\":[],\"studios\":[\"CoMix Wave Films\"],\"people\":[],\"type\":\"business\",\"domain\":\"industry\",\"is_roundup\":false}","contentType":"news","status":"published","firstSeenAt":"2026-10-29T02:15:00.000Z","lastSeenAt":"2026-10-29T02:15:00.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-29T03:03:26.000Z"},"attribution":[{"source":"ASCII.jp","url":"https://ascii.jp/elem/000/004/446/4446740/?rss","title":"アニメ制作の大容量ファイル共有を効率化　コミックス・ウェーブ・フィルムがDropboxを活用"}],"entities":{"anime_titles":[],"manga_titles":[],"work_titles":[],"studios":["CoMix Wave Films"],"people":[],"type":"business","domain":"industry","is_roundup":false},"keyFacts":["Dropbox Japan announced a case study of CoMix Wave Films using Dropbox Advanced on October 28.","CoMix Wave Films previously shared files through FTP servers and adopted Dropbox Advanced for encryption, view-only URLs, activity logs, and a 365-day data recovery function.","The Dropbox rollout began in May 2025, with accounts issued to employees in the production and business divisions.","Dropbox Transfer, which sends files up to 100GB, and view-only links were used on Shiranuhi, directed by Ryo Katonosaka and released in theaters in August 2026.","CoMix Wave Films plans to consolidate file sharing across its entire production process onto Dropbox."],"pageLinks":{"healthSlugs":["comix-wave-films"],"storySlugs":[],"entities":[{"slug":"comix-wave-films","supported":0,"disputed":0,"contradicted":0,"unverified":1,"overall":"unverified","story_count":1,"has_dossier":false}],"stories":[],"entitiesOk":true,"storiesOk":true}}
