If you want to be able to upload these video files and post them to your SNOWPRO PORTAL™ website’s client page with a little less hassle, then you could consider using a Vimeo Plus account, as Vimeo will automatically fix the file name for you on the fly.
This will force the video to play on the page. Here is an example file name: “some-great-video-08-16-2014.m4v”Īs I mentioned in a previous post you will also need to revise the “ to “ in the Dropbox shared URL. I also rename the video file to something personally memorable – not the default file name that your device assigns it – also be sure to use just letters, numbers and dashes ( – ) or underscores ( _ ) – no spaces or other characters like $ % ^ & etc, other wise they might not play in all browsers. You can upload the video to Dropbox firsth, then change the file extension on Dropbox and you’re done. If you want to use Dropbox to host your videos on your SNOWPRO PORTAL™ site, you’ll need to simply rename your videos files with a new file extension – just change the file extension from “.mov” to “.m4v”. There is one issue on the iPhone side: iPhones save the videos in Quicktime Movie format (.mov), which is not an extension that is native to all web browsers. So here’s the low down on how to do this. I really prefer to upload just the photos of video I want uploaded – not all of them. If you installed Dropbox without reading the instructions very carefully then you may have already begun the upload of all your photos already – yikes! Uploading all your photos to Dropbox takes a ton of your free space and sounds a little too obtrusive right? I totally agree.
If it’s not yet enabled, go ahead and try it out if you really want to, but I advise not to. You can upload all the photos in your camera roll to Dropbox by enabling the Camera Upload feature but this is NOT a good idea in my opinion. Steps will be similar for other devices.įirst off you need a Dropbox account. Let’s figure out how to manually upload photos and video to Dropbox from an iPhone. Let’s look at uploading photos or videos manually instead of letting the Dropbox app take control of syncing your Camera Roll photos. For all its features, Dropbox makes a few things a bit unintuitive Video shot and uploaded to Dropbox, SNOWPRO PORTAL™ page created, video link dropped in and “quick tips” added. In fact, here is a link to a client video page that I created 100% with my iPhone. Instant access to photos, video or even other file types is a super nice feature. The Dropbox App for your smart device (phone, tablet, etc) is awesome. We love to use our smart phones for shooting video then quickly uploading it to our SNOWPRO PORTAL™ sites.
