Import, Sync & Automate
Sync video you created.
Automate everything after.
Connect Google Drive, Amazon S3, FTP, or Dropbox — wherever your production team drops finished content. VideoNest ingests it, you associate metadata, and your publishing automations handle the rest. One upload triggers distribution across every channel you've configured.
How it works
Connect. Tag. Publish automatically.
Point VideoNest at where your team drops finished video. Everything after that runs on its own.
Connect your source.
Link Google Drive, Amazon S3, FTP, or Dropbox. VideoNest monitors the source and ingests new files as they arrive — no manual uploads, no file-by-file work.
Associate metadata.
Tag each video with a title, category, show, and distribution rules — right at ingest, or mapped automatically from sidecar files. The metadata you set determines where it goes.
Publishing automations handle the rest.
Based on the rules you configure, VideoNest automatically distributes to CTV, podcasts, news feeds, and social. One ingest event, every channel updated.
Supported sources
One home for all of your video content.
Google Drive, S3, FTP, and Dropbox are great for storage — but they're not built to help you publish. VideoNest syncs from wherever your video lives, associates metadata and thumbnails, and gets everything ready to distribute. Your existing storage stays in place. VideoNest becomes the publishing layer on top of it.
Google Drive
Link a folder and VideoNest imports from it on a schedule or on demand. The natural handoff point after post-production for most teams.
Folder-level or file-level sync
Amazon S3
Point VideoNest at a bucket. It ingests directly, picks up sidecar metadata files, and stays in sync as new files land.
Supports metadata sidecar files
FTP / SFTP
Connect to any FTP or SFTP server. Common for broadcast and media workflows where files are delivered directly from an encoder or NLE.
Works with any FTP-compatible server
Dropbox
Connect a folder and VideoNest monitors it. Drop a file in and it's ingested automatically — no additional steps needed.
Auto-ingest on new file arrival
Box
Link a Box folder and VideoNest ingests new files as they arrive. Common in enterprise media workflows where Box is used for team storage and delivery.
Enterprise-ready folder sync
OneDrive
Connect a OneDrive folder and VideoNest monitors it for new video files. Works with both personal and Microsoft 365 business accounts.
Supports Microsoft 365 workflows
Backblaze B2
Point VideoNest at a Backblaze B2 bucket. VideoNest ingests new video files directly, ideal for cost-efficient high-volume storage pipelines.
Low-cost cloud storage ingest
Wasabi
Connect a Wasabi bucket and VideoNest monitors it for new files. A popular S3-compatible alternative for media teams managing large video archives.
S3-compatible bucket syncMetadata & tagging
Associate the right metadata at ingest.
The metadata you set on a video determines where it goes. Map it from sidecar files automatically, or tag it manually — either way, it drives your publishing automations.
If your production workflow already outputs an XML or JSON metadata file alongside the video, VideoNest can read it at ingest and populate all fields automatically. No manual tagging required.
