Device & Software Use
At ADR Studio Management, we offer a flexible work environment — including the freedom to use your own tools and devices. However, to maintain efficiency, compatibility, and security across the team, there are a few essential guidelines.
💻 Devices
You are free to use your personal laptop or desktop for ADR Studio work as long as:
It is secure (password-protected and up to date)
It has the required software installed
It can handle the workload for your role (design, video editing, dev, etc.)
You follow all guidelines in the Security & Confidentiality section
📎 For specific roles (like video editing or 3D), minimum hardware specs may be required.
✅ Required Software
Depending on your role, you will need access to some or all of the following:
Slack – Team communication
ClickUp – Task and project management
Google Chrome – Preferred browser for compatibility
Google Workspace (Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides) – Documents and collaboration
Box Drive – For secure file sharing and archives
Figma – Design and prototyping
Adobe Creative Cloud – For design, video, and content production
Frame.io – For video feedback (if applicable)
WeTransfer – For lightweight file transfers
Notion – For notes and internal references (if part of your workflow)
🔄 Updates & Maintenance
Keep your device’s OS and software updated regularly
Ensure antivirus or malware protection is active (especially on Windows)
Restart and clear cache periodically for performance
Inform your PM if your device is experiencing limitations affecting work
📥 Software Licenses
ADR provides licenses for:
Adobe Creative Cloud (if required)
Paid Figma accounts (for design team)
SEO tools (for the marketing team)
Additional apps on a case-by-case basis
If you need access to a premium tool for your work, speak with your Project Manager before purchasing anything independently.
🔌 Backups & File Storage
Do not store important project files locally without backup
Always upload working files to Google Drive or Box Drive
Use clearly named folders and follow the naming conventions described in the Design Guidelines
🛑 What Not To Use
Personal Google Drive or Dropbox accounts
Public or unverified AI/image-generation tools without review
Shared accounts or logins without approval
Any platform not authorized for storing or processing client work
💬 Use the tools that make you powerful — but do so responsibly. Efficiency starts with a clean, updated, and well-prepared workstation.
