An hour of flight weighs several gigabytes. Waypoint360 does not lock it away: you choose where it lands, on your own account.
Waypoint360 keeps the record of your flights — dates, tracks, reports — and deposits the heavy files wherever you decided. Cutting the link erases nothing: the videos are already with you, on an account you own.
S3 is the common language of object storage. Anything that speaks it will do: a NAS in the office, or the host of your choice — European if you want one.
When a video is meant to be watched and shared, not merely archived, it needs a service that transcodes and streams it. api.video does that from Bordeaux: the company joined the OVHcloud group in February 2025.
Available, and convenient if your teams already work there. These are US services: we say so rather than leave it unsaid, so the choice is made knowingly.
Archive and keep control: S3, on a NAS or with a host. Stream and share: api.video. Work with tools already in place: Google. Nothing is final — the destination is set per content type, and can be changed whenever you like.
Automatic deposit and permissions are described in detail on Connected services.
The original file is deposited with the destination you chose. Waypoint360 keeps only what it needs to show it in your library: the media record and, depending on the destination, a thumbnail.
Files already deposited stay where they are: they belong to you. The change applies only to later uploads.
With a host, yes: the account is yours, and so is the invoice. A NAS you already own costs nothing more. Better to know before connecting.
