Title: Dreamstime Uploading Is Horrible.
Post by: oscarcwilliams on May 06, 2019, 14:53
You would think Dreamstime uploading process would be fixed but now.  It is horrible and the images do not upload properly. What's going on there?  Thanks

Using the web uploader is slow have you tried the FTP uploader via something like Filezilla?

Web browser uploading doesn't work. The only way is ftp and Filezilla works fine.

I was able to upload for a few months and then never again.

Thanks all for your replies.  They should remove the web uploading system if it's not working all this time. Come on! In the real world and without no respect to the photographer they could care less if making things easy is o.k.

I've never had an issue.  I just uploaded 20 images today and it was fine.

EyeEm web uploader on the other hand...

eta: and 10 minutes later, they're approved, lol.

Like Sean I also just uploaded a new batch today with no problems. Wondering if it has to do with your location? I'm West Coast US.

There are indeed some issues. For me, it happens when I use the web uploader while the bandwidth is limited (for instance when I'm uploading on other platforms at the same time). The only workaround I have found was to wait till the other platforms have finished uploading (including the ones on FTP), before starting to upload on DT.

Actually I never had any problems with uploading on their website. But I agree that the whole process, and especially the categories is a pain. The only platform where I very often have upload problems is Alamy, depends on the time of the day. I am uploading in the Philippines.

Here problems with Alamy too, sometimes, with the ftp.
