Common questions

Why are my files gone from my Pinpoint folder?

ter the Pinpoint editor has retrieved your files, the files may be removed from your folder at a later date, 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?

There is no size limit to your Pinpoint shared folder. Pinpoint has an Enterprise account and you are using Pinpoint’s capacity.

Tips for a faster and easier upload

Plug your computer into your router or modem, if you can. If you must use wireless, we suggest keeping your computer close to the wireless internet source.

Keep your 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 use this approach: If there is a bad shot of a person (and there is only one image) then it is best to leave it in. A big time waster is when a client says, “I know you took that shot, where is it?”
