Blackmagic Cloud Store User Manual Ingest

Blackmagic Cloud Store’s ingest feature lets you automatically copy files from external USB-C media to your Cloud Store’s internal storage. For example, you can ingest media from a USB-C drive or from a camera card connected using a card reader.

To ingest files:

1. Connect your external media to your Cloud Store’s ‘ingest’ USB-C port.

   

2. Your connected media will appear in the ‘ingest’ section of Blackmagic Cloud Store Setup’s ‘cloud sync’ page.

   

3. Your Cloud Store will automatically begin copying the files from the external media to its internal storage into a folder named to match your media. For example, if you have plugged in a CFast card with camera files in a folder named ‘A001’, cloud store will save them to an internal folder named ‘A001’.

   NOTE If the drive you have connected has the same name as a folder within the cloud store, a new folder will be created with the same name and a number appended on the end. For example, if the existing folder is called ‘A001’ and the drive you plug in is the same name, a new folder will be created labeled ‘A001-01’.
