Uploading recordings to External Storage

Updated on

Core gives you the ability to copy the recorded files from the archive to External storage, using FTP or the Google Drive option.

NOTE: External Storage feature is available only for Core Plus, Pro, and Enterprise Plans

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used for transferring files from one host to another or between computers through a network. FTP integration with Core archive is done in order to enable customers to more seamlessly integrate Core with their production workflow by allowing copying files from the archive to FTP manually or to allow automatic FTP uploads of all newly recorded files.

To be able to add your External FTP Storage, go to http://corecloud.tv and once you open it, navigate to Recordings tab. Then click External Storage on kebab menu in the upper-right corner which is next to the Upload File button

 

and choose Add FTP Server

Then, a sidebar Add External FTP Storage will appear. There you will see five text fields: Host, Port, Username, Password and Save Path.

 

Fill out all of the fields for your external FTP server: Host (IP of your FTP server), your Username and Password. Two fields have default values: Port (21) and Save Path (/).

To Auto save all new files to FTP, enable it after you fill out all the fields above — this will allow your new recordings to be automatically pushed to FTP once they are uploaded to the archive.

After you complete this, click Add Storage and once it’s added, close the sidebar.

Now, if you click the kebab menu icon (three dots) on a recorded file, you’ll be able to see Copy to FTP option. Select it and wait for a few seconds to start a copying process. There’s also an ability to copy multiple recordings simultaneously, just repeat this process applying to more than one recording at a time. The saved files will be shown in the right lower corner.

To disable FTP simply go back to the External Storage and click Unlink next to the FTP server data.

 

To use Google Drive as the external storage, click External Storage in the upper-right corner which is next to the Upload File option and choose Add Google Drive.

 

Sign in, by choosing the appropriate Google account, allowing Corecloud.tv access your Google account.

Choose the folder you would like to save your files to and Save changes

Now, if you click the kebab menu icon (three dots) on a recorded file, you’ll be able to see Copy to Google Drive option.

Select it and you will see the downloading folder in the right lower side.

There’s also an ability to copy multiple recordings simultaneously, just repeat this process applying to more than one recording at a time.

To disable Google Drive as an external storage option, just Unlink it at the External Storage sidebar, by clicking on the kebab menu icon (three dots).
