Cloud Drive

CloudDrive provides the ability to store files and folders with an online storage provider that can easily be accessed inside of VirtualDJ regardless of what computer is used. Using Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox or iCloud, you can easily create emergency folders or even backup your entire music folder to the cloud that can be later accessed from any computer running VirtualDJ.

CONNECTING CLOUD DRIVE

Right-click on the CloudDrive folder and select Login... or click on the browser area to connect.

A list of available cloud services will be displayed on initial use. Select the Storage Engine that you wish to connect to.

A browser window will open asking to connect to the cloud service and authorize VirtualDJ. Follow the on screen instructions and login using your specific cloud service credentials. Each provider's login page is a bit different, so it's important to follow the steps provided.

When the successful authorization is complete, the browser will advise to close the window and return back to the software.

USING CLOUD DRIVE

To start syncing with CloudDrive, folders need to be added to the main CloudDrive Folder. This can be done by right-clicking and selecting Add Subfolder...

A box will pop up asking to name the new folder. Enter a name for the folder and click OK.

Once a folder is created, simply drag and drop files into it.

Existing folders can also be synced via CloudDrive. Right-click on any folder in the Folder List and select Sync to CloudDrive. Any modifications made to these folders will be reflected in the cloud as well.

Once a folder is created, simply drag and drop files into the folder and they will automatically sync with the cloud.
