"The Adobe Drive 2 Connect UI is an easy-to-use interface that allows users to connect to a Digital Asset Management (DAM) server. Once you are connected, Adobe Drive 2 offers simple, intuitive access to remote assets through the platform file browsers, platform dialogs such as Open and Save, Adobe Bridge, and directly from the menus and UIs of Adobe Drive-integrated Creative Suite applications, which include: Adobe Photoshop®, Adobe Illustrator®, Adobe InDesign®, and Adobe Bridge."

Sounds great: Based on CMIS and AtomPub. Replaces WebDAV, i.e. lets you mount a DAM as a network drive through HTTP. Available for both CS4 and CS5 on Mac OS X and Windows.

It's Prerelease 1, so no wonder it sounds quite unfinished – CMS Connector for Adobe Drive 2.0: Technical Note [PDF]: "XMP metadata cannot be viewed, edited or searched using Adobe Bridge CS5. Thumbnails and preview icons are not available in Adobe Bridge CS5. […] Paging of search results is not supported by Adobe Drive. […] The CMIS Connector cannot connect to a server using secure HTTP (HTTPS)."

I'm looking forward to playing with it…
