Description

Archiving allows a user to save video clips outside of retention and share these clips with anyone by sending them a secure link.  
A user login is not required in order to use the link and view the archived clip. 

Accessing the Archive

Access the Archive by clicking Archive on the Dashboard.



Creating and Manipulating Files within the Archive

The Archive allows you to create folders ( New Folder) and subfolders in order to organize your saved footage.

From the top menu, you can also Upload, Share,  Download, Move, Copy, Rename, and Delete files and folders. 
If the folder or file is shared, it will have the shared symbol    beside it.



In order to go back to a folder, you can click the back button  , or you can click the name of the folder at the top in order to navigate to whichever folder you would like. Clicking    will return you to the root folder. 


You can also use the back button your browser to navigate between folders in the archive. 
 
Use the search bar in order to find the file, video, or folder you are looking for faster.
