How much storage do I have?
The free option provides 2GB of storage and two users, Pro has 2TB and Team offers 3TB. Free plan does not include C2C functionality.
How secure are my projects/files?
Frame.io Camera to Cloud uses full TPN+ and SOC 2 Type 2 compliant encryption. These global, industry-wide security standards define the requirements for protecting online content for any file that is transferred through a C2C connection. For more information, please visit this page.
Where is the Frame.io menu in my camera?
You’ll find the option in the NETWORK/USB SETTING menu.
How does AUTO IMAGE TRANSFER ORDER work?
If this option is switched ON and you have an active internet connection, files will be transferred to Frame.io as they are created.
How does IMAGE TRANSFER WHILE POWER OFF work?
When the camera is turned off, images will continue to upload. This will be indicated by a flashing amber/green LED on FUJIFILM GFX100 II’s body or FT-XH File Transmitter grip.
How do I get a Pairing Code?
A pairing code is created on the camera when you create a new C2C connection. It is generated as part of the connection process, then input into Frame.io to complete the connection. In order to connect the camera to a new project, in the Frame.io menu you can generate a new code via the connect menu.
What does the blinking LED on GFX100 II or FT-XH mean?
An amber blinking LED means the camera is searching for a connection, green means it is connected to a network. When files are transferring, the LED flashes amber and green.
What happens if I need to change batteries?
If you need to change batteries in the grip, the connection is maintained. However, it is dropped if you need to remove the grip to change the battery in the camera. In the case of GFX100 II, there is no requirement for a grip, but the connection will be dropped when changing the camera’s batteries.
How is Camera to Cloud different from tethering?
Unlike tethering, which requires a cabled connection, Frame.io Camera to Cloud is a direct connection to the internet. Tethering also means files can only be transferred to a single device, but with Frame.io Camera to Cloud, they’re uploaded to a platform that can be viewed on multiple machines or devices.
Can my camera remember multiple wi-fi connections?
Currently, your camera will only remember the last WiFi connection.
How many cameras can I connect at once?
There is no limit.
Will using C2C drain my battery faster?
Frame.io Camera to Cloud does use more battery power. One option to reduce consumption is to only connect when you have a number of files ready to upload.
Can I use a supported Fujifilm camera to upload images from a non-supported camera?
Compatibility is not guaranteed for cameras that have not been approved for Camera to Cloud.
What happens if I need to change memory cards?
No problem, switch memory cards as normal. However, any files currently queued will not complete if you are changing memory cards.
Are my files also stored in-camera?
Yes, files are stored on your camera’s memory card.
How do I connect a camera to a project?
In Frame.io, go to Add Project and make sure C2C Connections is switched on before creating the project. Then go to the C2C Connections tab and choose Add new device. Frame.io will then ask you to set the camera to the pairing mode, which is done when you connect the camera via WiFi. For more details, please visit HERE.
Where do I enter my Pairing Code?
The pairing code generated by the camera is input into the C2C connections tab in your Frame.io C2C enabled project to complete the connection.
Who can access my uploaded files?
Uploaded files can only be accessed by people you choose to share your files with. You can choose to grant one of two types of access. A Team Member will be able to see your whole account and all the projects within it. A Collaborator can only view specific projects. For more information, please visit HERE.
How do I cancel a queued upload?

Can I rename my C2C Connected camera?

Do I need internet to use my camera?
You need an active internet connection to upload files to Frame.io Camera to Cloud.
What methods can I use to establish an internet connection for my camera?
There are multiple methods, including WiFi, smartphone tethering and Ethernet.
What is USB Smartphone Tethering?
USB Smartphone Tethering is a cabled connection from camera grip to cell phone, which is then used to connect to C2C.
What happens if I lose connection?
If connection is lost during file transfer, once re-established, files will continue to upload.
Can I connect to a wi-fi network that requires interaction from the user? (i.e. hotel terms and conditions)
No, you cannot.
What is the difference between FTP and C2C?
FTP is a file transfer protocol that connects directly to a file transfer server. C2C uses TLS that allows you to upload directly to Frame.io.
What is the difference between wi-fi tethering and C2C?
Wi-fi tethering has no relation to transferring files to Frame.io.
My camera won't connect
Make sure you are using compatible products (FUJIFILM X-H2 or X-H2S with FT-XH File Transmitter grip, or GFX100 II) with the latest firmware HERE. Additionally, ensure you are connected to Wi-Fi, have charged batteries in both grip and camera, as well as an enabled C2C connection in the project to which you are trying to connect.
Why aren't my files uploading?
This could be for a number of reasons. Check you have an active internet connection. If the LED on GFX100 II or FT-XH File Transmitter is flashing red, there is no connection. Note: when you first switch the camera on, it takes approximately 15 seconds for the camera to connect to a previous WiFi network, so wait to see if the LED changes from red to green. If the light is green, make sure the type of file you’re trying to upload is selected. Go to the Frame.io Camera to Cloud menu, then choose SELECT FILE TYPE and tick required file formats. Make sure auto file transfer is selected: go to the Frame.io Camera to Cloud menu, select UPLOAD SETTING and make sure AUTO IMAGE TRANSFER ORDER is ON. Finally, if you turn the camera off while transferring, make sure the option is selected for files to continue to transfer. To do this, go to Frame.io Camera to Cloud, then choose UPLOAD SETTING and make sure IMAGE TRANSFER WHILE POWER OFF is ON.
Why is my upload slow?
This is most likely to be your internet connection, but could also be due to the file type you’re uploading. Video files or Raw still images will take longer to upload than proxy files or JPEG or HEIF files.
