Sync of vids to Google Drive

by pcmac » Wed Jun 13, 2012 4:58 pm

where exactly is the vit D videos directory in Mac & PC ?


you previously advised not to use dropbox,what about the sync software below for google drive?

>>>It sounds like you set your entire videos directory to reside within dropbox? This probably won't work well for you as it will include all of the cache video as well (everything that is recorded). It will also have lots of file thrash as cache is cut into clips,



what about using this ?

"Super Flexible File Synchroniser -software which can automate the Sync of documents to your Google Drive.

The reason that I suggested you not sync your entire vdv directory because you don't want to sync all of the cache and constant file changes, and even if you did your dropbox/google/anything else likely doesn't have enough space and your internet connection likely doesn't have the outgoing bandwidth. Regardless of what service you're using to upload clips, you only want to upload clips triggered from specific rules so you need to isolate those somewhere. The only way to do this currently is via the ftp response, whether that is going to an external server or to a local folder on your machine which dropbox/any other file syncing service then uploads elsewhere.
