Migrating Photos/Videos to the website

[cyunis]

Investigate how much space we can use

[capsulecorplab]

What platform do we want to host videos? (e.g., Youtube, Smugmug, etc.)

[Burhan-Q]

Options

• SmugMug
• YouTube
• Vimeo
• GDrive
• Wistia
• Dropbox
• etc

Redundant locations? Need to be consistent with file naming convention

• GSuite for GPhotos and GDrive

• Mylio for syncing across devices (not working on Linux)?

• Syncthing

• IPFS (P2P file system)

Video needs to work with SquareSpace Centralized or distributed storage solution?

• control on what media is public vs not?

Conclusion of discussion

@capsulecorplab @cyunis @Burhan-Q

• Simple access to uploading media for now (where ever that is) and have a link to media.
  • check what metadata is accessible/visible to media uploaded
• Can upload photos to GitHub as long as no single file exceeds 100MB size
• maybe need a separate site for video (like YouTube)
  • embeddable

@mmroden can you drop an upload link for batch uploading all media (instead of a separate one for each date) in the group chat? (related to first bullet point in conclusion of discussion)

[mmroden]

No, I can't-- each gallery has their own upload link.

Ok, for now if there's a need to batch upload in the aftermath of building @Burhan-Q can provide a folder for dropbox.
