How do I upload a video?

Upload videos with the Upload button, drag & drop, or Desktop App.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

There are several ways to upload videos to MediaZilla. All uploads use the same Upload screen, where you select a destination project and a source (My Device, Google Drive, or Dropbox).


Upload Methods

1. Drag & Drop (Quick Upload)

  • From within a project, drag one or more videos directly into the main area of the screen.

  • The upload will begin automatically


2. Upload Button (Project View)

  • Open a project in your dashboard.

  • Click the Upload Video button at the top.

  • The Upload screen will open with the project already selected as the destination (you can change it if needed).

  • Choose a source and select your file(s).


3. Upload Button (Upload Manager)

  • Click the Upload Manager icon (up arrow, upper-right).

  • In the Upload Manager, click the Upload icon.

  • The same Upload screen will open. Here you must select a destination project before choosing a source and selecting your file(s).


4. MediaZilla Desktop Upload App

  • The Desktop Upload App lets you set up watch folders that automatically upload new videos as soon as they’re added.

  • This is useful for workflows where your editing software exports directly into a designated folder.

  • When you first connect a watch folder, the app can upload all existing videos in the folder or only new ones added going forward.


Tracking Uploads

  • The Upload Manager lists all queued, uploading, completed, pending, or failed uploads.

  • You can monitor progress, pause/resume uploads, or clear completed ones from this panel.
