Upload assistance: upload your build from a Dropbox or Google Drive link

Upload assistance lets the Eagle 3D Streaming servers fetch your build from a link - Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Box or your own server - instead of uploading it from your computer. A slow or unstable home connection does not matter: the build travels between servers, and is then checked and test-launched like any upload.

Where to find it

When to use it

Your situationBest way
Fast, stable connectionUpload from the Control Panel as usual
The build is already on Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or BoxUpload assistance - nothing is sent again from your computer
Uploads stop partway, or the Connection test is slow or failing at every stepUpload assistance
The build is on a computer with no cloud folderUpload from the Control Panel; if it stops, choose the same file again and press Continue upload (Your Projects)

How to use it

  1. Make the file's link open for anyone who has it. Dropbox and Google Drive: share the zip with Anyone with the link. A link that asks to sign in cannot be fetched.
  2. In the Control Panel open Utilities → Upload assistance.
  3. Type the app name. An app name you already use adds the build as its next version.
  4. Paste the link to the zip and press Upload from this link.

What happens next

The page shows each link's progress, step by step:

StepWhat our servers do
Checking the linkMake sure the link opens and points to a file, and find its size
Storage checkCompare the size with your free storage - a build that cannot fit stops here with "Not enough storage: the build needs X, Y GB is free"
Downloading from your linkFetch the zip from the link
Checking the zipThe same checks as an upload from the Control Panel
Uploading to your storageSend the build to the Eagle 3D Streaming storage
Test launchUnpack and start the build once, as every upload is
ReadyThe build appears in your build list and can be streamed

You can close the page; the work continues on our servers. If a step fails, the page says which step and why.
