Workfront Fusion — Native Adobe Storage (ESM) support

Workfront Fusion now natively supports Adobe Storage (ESM)

Workfront Fusion now connects directly to Adobe cloud storage (Enterprise Storage Management, ESM). Browse and upload assets inside Fusion, automate store lifecycle and access, and generate presigned URLs for secure read/write integrations with external systems.

Overview

This release adds native Adobe Storage support in Fusion using the same ESM layer that powers the Workfront/Frame.io unified review and approval experience and is shared across Frame.io, Document Cloud, and Creative Cloud. You’ll see a new Storage navigation menu for browsing and uploads, plus Adobe Storage modules you can use in scenarios to manage stores, collaborators, and presigned URLs.

What’s new

• Storage navigation — A new Storage menu item in Fusion to browse ESM stores and upload files without leaving the app.
• Store lifecycle — Create, discard, restore, and delete ESM stores from scenarios for automated provisioning and cleanup.
• Collaboration management — Invite users to collaborate with explicit role, sharing scope, and notification controls.
• Presigned URL support — Generate Presigned URL and Generate Upload URL modules so external systems can read from or write to ESM stores securely without routing files through Fusion or sharing standing credentials.
• Custom API calls — Use a generic/custom action to call Adobe Storage API endpoints for operations not yet covered by built‑in modules.

Why this matters

Because Fusion talks directly to Adobe cloud storage (ESM), you can integrate storage operations into existing review, approval, and asset workflows used by Workfront and Frame.io. The presigned URL modules are especially important for content supply chains: they let other systems push or pull large assets securely and efficiently without moving files through Fusion or exposing long‑lived credentials.

Before you start

• These modules operate on ESM stores. If your organization still uses legacy Workfront storage, enable Adobe cloud storage first — see the links in Documentation below.

How to get started

1. Confirm Adobe cloud storage (ESM) is enabled for your organization.
2. Open Fusion, click the new Storage menu to browse or upload assets, or initialize the connection with Adobe Storage.
3. Start using Adobe Storage modules for collaboration, presigned URLs, or custom API modules.

Behavior and tips

• Store operations act at the ESM store level — review retention, governance, and access policies before automating deletions or discards.
• When inviting collaborators, choose roles and notification settings deliberately to avoid unintended access or notification volume.
• Presigned URLs are time‑limited. Use short lifetimes for public or untrusted clients and rotate keys/credentials regularly.
• Test custom API calls and presigned URL workflows in non‑production environments to validate scopes, request formats, signed headers, and error handling.
