There are three ways to upload files to a screeningroom - it can be done via the backend interface, by adding videos from Mediabox (wherever MB is available) or via FTP, using an FTP client.
Files larger than 1 GB can only be uploaded via FTP. FTP upload is also a way for external partners, such as production companies, to upload content to a screeningroom.
FTP upload
Uploading via an FTP account you need to use an FTP-client. We recommend Filezilla. It’s free of charge and it’s very easy to use. It can be downloaded here.
Send upload guide to external partners
To allow production companies or other external partners to access and upload files to a screeningroom you can send the manual via email, see Email manual below.
