If you have documents in hard copy that you want to add to your Content Cloud so your team can access them, you first need to convert them into a digital format. This might involve scanning a document or taking a photo of the physical document.
Most file uploaders automatically reduce a submitted photo to the maximum allowable size without losing quality.
Documents
Documents are often text-based and might contain images. Whether they are stored on your computer or in some other device (like a tablet or smartphone), you can upload documents to the same location where you created or saved them by choosing the “upload” option on the website or program where you want to send them.
You can also turn hard copies into digital documents by scanning or taking a photo of them with your phone, for example. Then they can be sent to the cloud, where you and other people can access them from any location, without needing to print them out or send them physically. A document can also be a saved media project or any other type of file that you can open and read using a specific application on your computer. These files generally have a recognizable name and an extension (letters or numbers that come after the dot). The names of these files usually include a visual icon associated with the program used to create them.
Images
Uploading images to a server can be done in a number of ways. One popular system is a digital asset management (DAM) system. DAM systems allow you to securely put large quantities of images online, and they can also help you sort files for easy retrieval using metadata.
If you’re using a shared hosting system it’s important to set up permissions properly for uploaded files. If not, anyone on the same server who can access /var/www/html/web/site_files or any other directory within it could upload a malicious php script that executes when called.
When you add a file to the site, it will be added to the “Site Files” folder. You can see all of the files in this folder by clicking the magnifying glass icon.
Videos
Video files are a combination of data and signals that use codecs for compression. It’s one of the most popular file formats and is incredibly versatile. But, because it’s such a high-quality format, video files are often quite large. Thankfully, there are many tools available to help you get your video files up and running in no time.
Dropbox is a well-known cloud storage service that specializes in sharing big video files with ease. It’s great for teams of all sizes and comes with media encryption so you can control who sees your work. It’s free to use and offers 100MB of basic storage space that can be upgraded for more storage if needed.
For video production teams, GoVisually is a cloud-based collaboration and proofing tool that allows you to share and review videos with a team. The software is easy to use and eliminates messy email threads and revision loops by capturing feedback and approvals on video content. It also has a mobile application and offers multiple storage plans starting at $20 per month for freelancers or solo players.
Audio files
Uploading audio files to Veed is as simple as selecting your desired file and clicking the “upload” button. The file will be uploaded to your project’s Google Drive cloud storage, making it accessible to anyone with an internet connection.
You can also choose to upload uncompressed or lossless audio files to Veed. These files tend to be larger than compressed files, but they offer the highest sound quality.
Sharing audio files with your team may seem like a no-brainer, but there are several challenges that can arise when it comes to large file sizes and limited storage space. One solution is to use a file transfer service such as WeTransfer or Filestage, which can help you send audio files in seconds with a shareable link.
Filestage is a powerful tool that can help you streamline your review and approval processes for all types of files, including audio, video, and documents. Learn more about how it can help you save time and money.Upload Files
