Uploading Videos to the CASTUS Cloud Portal

With two simple ways to upload content, sharing your work with customers has never been easier.

UPLOAD DIRECTLY TO THE CCS ADMIN PAGE

  1. Click on On Demand in the main menu to expand the menu options.
  2. Click on Library to upload, view, create folders, and organize your files.
  3. To upload a file from your local computer, select Add Video at the top of the Library and select your desired video.
  4. Edit the title and description, choose the featured status, visibility, and premiere status of the content and click Upload. A progress bar will appear to track your upload, and the file will appear in the directory you were in when choosing to upload.

Create a Folder & Move Files

  1. Choose the Create a Folder button to the left of the “Search Library” bar.

  1. A new folder titled New Folder will appear in your list. Click the pen icon on the right to rename. Choose the trash icon to delete the folder.
  2. Click and Drag - The first method of moving folders or files is to click and drag your file or folder to another location and release your mouse to get prompted to move the item. TIP: If you’re having trouble, make sure you click the file or folder first before clicking and dragging to the new location.
  3. Move - Select the item(s) you want to move and use Command/Control + C on your keyboard to copy and Command/Control + V on your keyboard to paste into the directory of your choice. TIP: Copy and Paste will move your item and not create an additional copy.
  4. Move Multiple Files - Either of the above processes will work with a single file or multiple files. To select multiple, first select one with your mouse and then hold Control (PC) or Command (Mac) on your keyboard and select the other file(s) you want to move. Then use the method of your choosing above to move a batch of files & folders.
  5. Right Click File - To move a file back a directory, right click the file and choose Move Up One Folder.
