  4. Define the output size of the layers by selecting between 25%, 50%, or 100% image scale output. 100% maintains full resolution, while a smaller image scale results in smaller file size and a faster upload to PIX4Dcloud.
  5. [Optional] The name of the Share to PIX4Dcloud project is predefined by the name of the PIX4Dreact desktop project. The name can be modified before uploading.
  6. Click Upload. After a successful upload, the PIX4Dcloud project link is displayed in a pop-up window.
  7. Select if the link will be Private, Public view or Public view and edit.
  8. Click on Copy link and paste it into the web browser to view the project.

Notes:
  • Every upload creates a new PIX4Dcloud project.
  • Max upload is 20GB (either two layers for a total of 20GB or a single layer for a total of 20GB).
  • The PIX4Dcloud project link can be used from a mobile phone with a GPS location marker.
  • No existing PIX4Dcloud projects can be synchronized to the desktop device.
  • PIX4Dcloud’s inspect feature cannot be used with projects uploaded from PIX4Dreact.

Error R0072

Error R0072 can happen due to several reasons.

  • Big files that require higher connection quality to upload. Try reducing the Image Scale:

  • Most of the cases are solved by connecting to the internet through an Ethernet cable. This will reduce micro-disconnections and will help PIX4Dreact finish the uploading.
  • Licenses issue: Make sure that the limits mentioned above are not reached.
