Common questions

Why are my files gone from my Pinpoint folder?

Some time after Pinpoint has retrieved your files, the files will be removed from your folder, so don’t worry if your folder is empty. Do not delete the main Pinpoint folder as you will use it for the next assignment.

Is there a limit to how much I can upload to Box?

Your free account has a limit but there is no size limit to your Pinpoint folder. Pinpoint has an Enterprise account which has unlimited capacity.

Tips for a faster and easier upload

Try to plug your computer into your router or modem. If you must use wireless, keep computer close to the wireless internet source.

Keep files on your computer, not on an external device such as a card reader, mobile hard drive or camera. This is a must. Do the upload overnight.

Delete any files which should not go to the client. Please do not rename files.

If there is a bad shot of a person (and there is only one image), leave it in. A big time waster is when a client says, “I know you took that shot, where is it?”
