My Uploads

MY UPLOADS is the section in SmarterSign where you will manage all of your images and video files that you use in your PROGRAMS and/or on your schedules. Once these media files are uploaded in your account you can use them as items on your PROGRAMS or you can directly schedule them on your SCHEDULES.

Accessing My Uploads

You access the MY UPLOADS section of the application from the left navigation inside of the CONTENT section of the application. All media is stored in a folder structure that you can control in a similar manner that you do in your operating system.
