Importing from your computer
If you have a number of photos, videos or music files on a desktop that you’d like to add to your ibi library, you can easily do this with the ibi desktop app. This content will be available on both the mobile and web app. This further consolidates all of your content into one place where you can enjoy and share it.
- From within the ibi mobile app, click on ‘Get desktop app’ from the side menu
- This will trigger an email to your ibi account with further instructions and a download link to get the desktop app
- Install the desktop app and then sign in using your ibi account credentials.
- You can now add content to your ibi, either by using the ‘Open In Browser’ or ‘Open In Finder.’
- 'Open in Browser' will launch a webpage where you can view the content stored on your ibi in a similar way to your mobile device
- This option is great if you want to add something directly to an album or a particular folder etc.
- 'Open in Finder' will add your ibi device to your computer / laptop as if it was attached to it
- This is the recommended option if you have a lot of files or a few files but are large in nature.
- Both of these options will require that you remain connected to the internet while the upload is happening.
- 'Open in Browser' will launch a webpage where you can view the content stored on your ibi in a similar way to your mobile device
Tip: For large files > 5GB (like a long video, for example), it’s easier to use ‘Open In Finder.’
