How to backup recordings in secure and private online storage

Securely back up your screen recordings to help avoid disasters and save disk space

Screen Recordings and imported video files can consume large amounts of storage and become difficult to manage over time.  You may invest a significant amount of time and resources when creating a tutorial, demo, or course.  Losing these video assets can be extremely costly.

ScreenPal users often ask us how to locate recordings they have previously created with the screen recorder or imported video from other devices. We can’t answer as the recordings you create on your personal computer are yours and entirely managed by you locally.

Customers have expressed a need to address the following scenarios:

• Hard disk space continues to grow but we also keep finding ways to fill that space.  Recordings that require large amounts of storage can easily reach disk space limits.
• Changing computers, a hard disk crashing, or deleting unintentionally can result in losing precious recordings.
• Video creation is often accomplished in focused time spans with long gaps in between. For example, starting a new course and finding your recording assets from previous classes can be difficult, especially after a long break away.
• You create recordings on a computer at work and then complete your video on a different computer when at home. You need to easily transfer your recordings and continue working.
