Prerequisite
To upload your 360 video with the Desktop Sync app, you must have a paid contract with OpenSpace.
Overview
While OpenSpace offers mobile upload in our app, you may prefer computer-based uploading through our Desktop Sync app, especially if you have many captures to upload, your captures are lengthy, or you have spotty cell coverage.
Upload 360 videos
Download the OpenSpace Sync app for your region.
Tip: If you're unsure of your region, look at the start of the URL you use to log in to the OpenSpace web app:
United Kingdom (uk.openspace.ai/orgs) Click here to download the UK Desktop Sync App
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (ksa.openspace.ai/orgs) Click here to download the KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) Desktop Sync App
Tip: Make sure you have the latest version of the Desktop Sync app before connecting your camera. To confirm if an update is required, select the three vertical dots while the app is open.
