Uploading images from the cloud

Once you’ve flown a site and collected images, you’ll need to upload the images to the Raptor Maps App.

Note: Use the uploader only to upload image files. For zip, pdf, or other file types, please email them to [email protected]

If you have access to the Raptor Maps app, log in and select Upload Images.

If you don’t have a Raptor Maps account, send an email to [email protected] to request a link. Provide the name of the site associated with the images.

Tip: Bookmark the link to use for your next upload session. Edit the session name to match the name of the site.

Transfer a maximum of 1000 images during each upload session.

Note: Please access the app using the Chrome browser.

Using the link provided to you, access the Upload Images page. If you’ve copied the images to a cloud drive, click on Cloud:

Use the following convention to name the upload:

CLIENT NAME - SITE NAME - FILE TYPE (IR, RGB, BOTH)

If you are uploading data to enable create of an orthomosiac, use ORTHO as the file type.

Note. We need the full site name to match upload sessions with the associated report; do not abbreviate the site name.
