Download to the cloud

Download to the cloud hands the video to the Video Tracker server: it downloads it into your cloud by itself. You can close the app and turn the device off. The finished file shows up in Downloads on all your devices marked “In the cloud”. This is a Pro feature.

From an app or the extension

Where: Mac, Android, Chrome, and Safari · Plan: Pro

1. Open the page with the video and find it as usual (Find videos).
2. Choose the quality and the audio.
3. Press Download to the cloud.

Downloads shows a row “Downloading to the cloud: 45%” with Cancel; while the server is busy with other downloads — “Queued on the server”. When the file is ready, it is “In the cloud” on every device.

• A page behind a login. If the video is open under your login to the site, the device passes the server the cookies of this video's sites only; the server keeps them for no longer than a day.
• The cloud is full. If there is no space or the file did not fit, the server does not download it and you get “The cloud is full” — free some space (Cloud space).
• It failed. The row shows the error with Error details, Retry and Remove.
• The site is not reachable from the server. Some sites do not open from the server's country. Then you see right away: “The Video Tracker server cannot open this site — it is not reachable from the server's country. Download the video on this device.”
• No button. A video the device cannot download itself (DRM-protected; in store versions — YouTube and similar sites) has no Download to the cloud.

For pages behind a login, the Chrome extension asks for permission to read this site's cookies: “To download a video from a page behind your login, the server needs this site's cookies: allow the extension to read them.”

With dubs and subtitles

Where: Mac, Android, Chrome, Safari, and the cabinet on the site · Plan: Pro

Choose More audio and Subtitles on the video and press Download to the cloud — the server downloads the same tracks and puts the same MP4 into the cloud as a download to the device would produce. More about tracks — Dubs and subtitles.

In the cabinet on the site

Where: the cabinet on the site · Plan: Pro

In the cabinet the server downloads the video, and the finished file goes straight to the cloud: it takes cloud space and shows up on your devices marked “In the cloud”.

1. Open New download and paste the Link to a page with a video.
2. Press Find videos. If the server did not find the video by itself, choose Find manually: the page opens in a browser, you play the video as usual and press Done — show what was found.
3. Tick the videos you need, choose the quality, audio and subtitles, and press Download selected.

Progress is in My downloads. Deleting a download from this list leaves the file in the cloud; deleting the file from the cloud marks the download “File deleted”.

Sites behind a login

If the site shows the video only after you sign in, you sign in to that site in a browser that runs on our server: its window is shown to you in the cabinet.

1. In New download, switch on The site needs a login and press Open the sign-in window — or open Site logins and create a New site login with the site's sign-in page.
2. Sign in to the site in that window as usual — the login and password go straight to the site; the service neither sees nor keeps them.
3. Press I'm signed in — save the session.

The saved login works for 24 hours and is used by itself when videos are looked up on that site. In Site logins you can Revoke it (the cookies are deleted on our side; sign out on the site yourself) or delete it. Google and YouTube do not let you into an account from such a browser — for them there is Cookie import from your usual browser.

When Pro ends

New downloads on the server are Pro only: on Free, Download to the cloud shows “This needs Pro.” and Buy Pro. What the server has already accepted before Pro ended (from the apps and from the cabinet), it finishes — one at a time. Finished files stay in the cloud: you can download or delete them.
