Yes ok will try again, ipad up in top new room thick wall between/ a bit away from hub.. so does only get a low connect to it. But even so, should this take about 1.5 hrs to do? just a 2 min clip of my noisy unit on an ipad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamyTea Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 That size file would take about 40 minutes to upload from my phone (what I use to connect to the internet). My phone uploads at about 10 mb/s. So as @Onoff said, check your connection speed. It may only be 1 or 2 mb/s. So could be 5 to 10 times longer. I would also be very surprised if an Apple product could not compress a video file. Everyone in the world knows that Apples are the only viable platform to edit video and images on (this is irony, they are no better than anything else, and if people telly you different, walk away from them, Apple users are total bores that know very little about IT).

Onoff Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 You could sign up for a free Flickr account. It's really good. Try uploading to that and sharing the Flickr link to whoever you want to view the clip. I take so many photos I pay per year for unlimited storage. https://www.flickr.com/about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avoid like the plague, it's ad riddled crap now. They sucked many users onto their free platform then sold out and changed to a pay format. If you have the free service they bombard you with upgrade emails and pop ups. Photobucket is why I switched to Flickr. (No different to what Draftsight did tbh).

Do you see how you can easily alienate people trying to help? Anyway...3.5 Mbps you say as a download speed. That tbh is dire. Your upload speed (what you're trying to do with that video) will be even less. (Just checking and my download is about 11Mbps, that's crap too ?). It's what we get for living in the sticks. So you've tried WeTransfer and still no joy? It'll cost you nothing to try Flickr. There's Smash, lesser known but very like WeTransfer. Nothing lost trying that: https://fromsmash.com/ Google as aforementioned, Firefox Send is another. Whatever, at the very minimum you'll have to give them your email and set up an account.

zoothorn Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 @Onoff YES he was!! (of course it was bc pocaster wouldnt have 'liked' it > then 'likes' your having a go at me too doesn't he? I mean ffs if the only contribution to a fkn thread is adding a few likes like this at me its sad/ & trolling I think actually the perfect word too hiding away, sniping. hiding. ffs grow up. his picture says enough afaic). Anyway... yes 3.5 is max here, its often 2.5- 3.5 someone I think said. No joy with we transfer, it stopped just shy of 269mb (263.. takin the p*ss surely). Setting up accounts.. sounds easy, but couldn't do with apple bc its needs a mob phone: ok I now have one, but no signal/ have to go top of the hill (seriously) & its pissing down & the owls are out & might snatch my wig off. I'll google snatch transfer tho.. thanks. zH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoothorn Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) @SteamyTea Ok apologies if you weren't ST.. even if not entirely convinced. So was the bamboo vid showing me how? I could only establish you were showing what i was trying to do 'look i can do it p'easy' but without letting on how, so I couldnt see it as being exactly helping.

Go to Google's home page, find the bit to create an account. You do not need to have your iPad registered. Create an account, don't think you even need a telephone number. Then you can share files once they are uploaded. It is a very easy system to use. https://accounts.google.com/signup/v2/webcreateaccount?hl=en&flowName=GlifWebSignIn&flowEntry=SignUp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok will try Onoff smash one again, seemed quicker than other one, tho drop out in signal stopped this try for sure.. then this one. Be a useful thing to be able to use.

zoothorn Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 @SteamyTea hi could you help, managed to upload my clip to a new gmail account. I think gmail is a google acc you suggested.

But Ive now no clue how to email this on. There should be an option to share the file. Usually an icon like this. Or it may be a link icon in Drive. Click once on the file, then click on the chain icon, a box appears with the link in it, copy that and send it to the recipient.

zoothorn Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 Ok found the wee icon share icon. Tells me to put in email address to send, so put in mine ive just created, or my hotmail address.. and both times it says 'must be a gmail account'. So i try again, my new gmail address, same 'no can do' mssg. It gives me option to send - i think - to a similar address, my name but without the numbers i created it with.. & so i send, but to who knows where its gone. this is nigh on impossible it seems to me.
