Record to Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive

Connect

Open Storage → Add destination, pick Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive, and sign in. That’s it: clips start uploading, encrypted, as they’re recorded.

What Unicam can see in your account

As little as possible:

• Google Drive uses the drive.file permission. Unicam can only see and change files it created itself, not the rest of your Drive.
• Dropbox and OneDrive use an app folder. Unicam works inside its own folder only.

Footage is encrypted before upload, so the provider stores ciphertext either way.

Set a storage limit

Free Google Drive is 15 GB and free Dropbox is 2 GB, and they’re shared with your email and photos. In the destination’s settings, set a Storage limit, for example “use at most 200 GB”. Then Unicam:

• deletes its own oldest files first to stay under the limit (starred clips are never removed);
• checks how full the account is every 10 minutes and makes room if it drops below 2% free;
• sends you a daily notification if the account passes 90% full.

Footage per uploaded file

The hub records in one-minute pieces. For these three providers, Unicam joins them into 10-minute files before uploading (you can choose 1, 10 or 15 minutes under Footage per uploaded file). That means far fewer files, a folder you can actually browse, and no trouble with the providers’ rate limits. Files are split at gaps and at midnight, and leftover pieces are sent after a few minutes.

How much will it use?

In Events mode, typically 80–95% less than recording 24/7. For heavy 24/7 recording across many cameras, an S3-compatible bucket like Backblaze B2 or Cloudflare R2 is cheaper and has no daily upload cap. See S3, B2, R2 and Wasabi.
