How To See How Much Storage Your Filmers Have On Their Phone (And Why It Is Important).

Cinebody has a tool that allows you to see how much available storage a filmer has on their phone. Watch the video below to see how you can access this tool then, read the instructions below to understand why this will be helpful.

Step-By-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the desired project. You may be a part of one or many. 
  2. Find the desired user in the 'clips' tab, identified by a 'grid' icon. You can select a user one of two ways:
    1. The first way is to click the 'team' filter and search for the desired user. 
    2. The second way (shown in the video) is to click the name/photo in the top-left corner of a clip's thumbnail. 
  3. When you select a user, a gray information bar will appear above the clips. This will communicate an array of information about the selected user. 
  4. On the right side of this bar, you'll see the available storage on this user's device as of the last time they used the Cinebody app. 

Why is this Important? As a fail-safe, Cinebody must save a copy of every clip filmed in-app to the flimer's native camera roll BEFORE uploading it to the platform. This means that the app will not allow a user to film unless they have adequate storage available on their device. If a user complains about the app stopping recordings on its own, it is likely due to inadequate storage.
