Uploading files to Cincopa

There are two ways to upload your stuff onto Cincopa :

• Web Interface - Upload files from your desktop using this upload page. You can select and upload many files at once. Files will be uploaded to your Cincopa CloudDrive.
• Desktop Media Agent - Cincopa Media Agent is a small application that you install on your PC which enables you to use your file with the various Cincopa products, services and plugins.

Upload from your browser

Upload files directly from any browser, there is no need to install anything on your browser or PC.

Uploading speed may vary and is determined by your Internet connection speed, for example if you are using a standard ADSL or Cable Internet connection uploading 100MB file should take between 2-6 minutes.

The following options are available :

1. Fancy multi-files flash uploader - This is the easiest way to upload file to Cincopa, choose multiple files, set the target folder on the CloudDrive and let the flash upload everything.
2. Basic uploader - for non-flash browser like smart phones.
3. Upload from URL -  Upload directly from other sites in case your media is already hosted there, simply paste the URL of your file and Cincopa will import it to your CloudDrive. Support popular services like Flickr, YouTube and any other service that supports exporting using URL.
4. Import from RSS - (in beta, not available yet) Upload many files at one directly from other online storage services.

Which uploading method is best for me ?

You can decide to use any one of those two methods or even use both of them. In fact it is very common among Cincopa users to have few Media agents (one for each machine like at work, home and laptop) and to use CloudDrive.

Consider the following to decide which one is best for you :

• The easiest way is to upload using the Web Interface.
• If you need to upload videos, audio or many photos it will be quicker to install a Media Agent.
• Media Agent allows you to upload from remote. If for example you have many videos at work then you can install a Media Agent. Later at home or from your mobile phone you'll be able to view the files from remote and decide which one to upload to your gallery.
