Uploading data to the Cloud

Uploading ViBox videos / DiBox images 

There are two ways to upload videos from ViBox and images from DiBox to the Cloud through using the Cloud Uploader: export files from ViBox/DiBox with checked ‘Upload video to cloud’ or copy exported files from ViBox/DiBox to the folder (1) manually.

Way 1 (preferable). Export files from ViBox/DiBox 

 Please note that only videos with 200 frames are supported for uploading to the Cloud now. 

 Check the ‘Upload to cloud’ checkbox in ViBox/DiBox before exporting:

 

 Then export videos from ViBox / images from DiBox to the folder where you usually export media from ViBox/DiBox (please, do not use the folder (1) as the exported data folder). Next, ViBox/DiBox will automatically copy your exported files to the folder (1) and the Cloud Uploader immediately will start analyzing and uploading your files.

Way 2. Copying exported files manually

 If you have to upload to the Cloud videos exported from ViBox or images from DiBox created on a computer without Internet connection, you can do it by copying these files to the folder (1) manually. 

Uploading HP reports

After saving HP report it will be opened in your browser. Do the next steps for uploading report to the Cloud:

  1. Click on 'Save page as' in your browser menu.
  2. In the appeared saving dialog select folder (1) and create in it folder with the same name as your StoneID.
  3. Click on 'Save' button.

After these steps CloudUploader will automatically upload report to the Cloud.

You can also copy your HP reports manually from your reports storage to folder (1) for uploading to the Cloud. But remember to create separate folders for every separate HP report with stoneID as folder name.

In case of successful uploading of a file or a folder it will be moved from the folder (1) to the folder (2) and you will see a notification from the system tray:
