Case Study: HGTV's Elbow Room achieves streamlined remote production and cost savings with Dropbox for Business

Dropbox for Business helps HGTV’s Elbow Room keep the show on the road

HGTV’s Elbow Room, a remodeling show led by Chip Wade, needed a better way to keep its traveling construction and production crews in sync with the San Francisco headquarters. The team struggled to share large files, budget updates, talent releases and signed invoices while on the road, relying on email, flash drives and costly overnight shipping that caused delays and confusion.

After adopting Dropbox for Business the show centralized documents in shared folders with clear version control, enabling simultaneous access and remote review across time zones. This streamlined production reporting and approvals, eliminated rush shipping by allowing signed PDFs to be processed instantly, sped up payments, cut costs and improved coordination between field crews and HQ.
