Does TESSA Drive take up space on my Mac?

At first only a placeholder sits on the machine. A file takes up space once you open it — and once downloaded it opens offline, too.

How does an edit from Photoshop get back into TESSA?

You edit and save as usual. After that the asset is up to date in TESSA right away, with a new version.

TESSA Drive

Your favourite apps, connected to TESSA

TESSA Drive is a small app for your Mac, like Dropbox or OneDrive: it brings your whole TESSA library into the Finder, in the same folders as in TESSA. A file takes up space only once you open it, and once downloaded it works offline, too. Open an image in Photoshop, edit and save it: in TESSA it is up to date right away, with a new version.

TESSA in the Finder
Your whole library is in the Finder, in the same folders as in TESSA. From the Studio, a right click opens any asset on your Mac.
Space only once you open it
At first, only a placeholder is on your Mac. Once downloaded, the file opens without a connection, too; TESSA Drive syncs your changes when you are back online.
Save, done
Edit in Photoshop or any other app as always. Once saved, the asset is up to date in TESSA right away, with a new version; the previous one is kept.
