Uploading Videos and Photos to the Cloud

​RightBooth can integrate seamlessly with your favourite cloud storage account to allow videos, photos, messages and print layouts to be copied to your cloud storage account while the event is taking place.

Here's how:

1 Get yourself a cloud storage account
There are numerous providers of cloud storage, including Dropbox, Google Drive and Box.  For a great explanation on some of the best providers, read this:  https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping/free-online-storage

Most cloud storage providers work in the same way when it comes to uploading files from your PC or laptop.  They allow you to designate a local folder on your computer which will then be synchronised with your cloud storage account. This basically means that whenever a new file is added into your local folder, it will be automatically uploaded to your cloud folder.

Once you have chosen your account provider, install their software and set up your local syncronisation folder.
Full details on how to do this are available from your chosen cloud storage provider.

2 Connect RightBooth to your Local Cloud Storage Folder

• Run RightBooth
• Go to RightBooth Settings
• Click on the Folders tab
• In the section 'Copy files to cloud storage folder', click the Change button (1)
• In the Browse for Folder dialog, choose your local cloud storage folder (2). 
• Click the OK button (3) to add your chosen folder into the RightBooth settings.

Here you can see we have chosen to connect with a OneDrive folder...

3 Choose the type of files to copy to the cloud
Staying in the RightBooth Folders settings, use the check boxes to decide which type of event files will be uploaded to the cloud.  In this example we have chosen to upload Photos and Photo thumbnails:

Now make sure your computer is connected to the Internet and play the event.
And each time a user capture photos, the resulting photo print layout will be:

• automatically copied to your local cloud storage, then:
• automatically uploaded to your remote cloud storage folder.

File uploads will happen 'behind the scenes' while RightBooth plays the event, and if you make your cloud folder accessible to your users they will be able to immediately view and access all the files on their own devices as they are created during the event.
