Overview
DroneDeploy allows you to manually upload Walk data through the web application. This process is useful if a mobile sync fails or if you prefer to manage 360 video files directly from your computer.
Before you begin
Ensure your 360 videos are in the correct format before starting your upload:
Insta360 ONE X4 and X5: Requires one .insv file per Walk.
Earlier Insta360 models (X3, X2, RS One, etc.): Require two .insv files per Walk.
Other 360 cameras: Require a single .mp4 file in equirectangular format.
Upload Walk files
Follow these steps to upload your Walk data:
Log in to your account on the DroneDeploy website.
Navigate to the project where you want to add the data.
Click the UPLOAD tab at the top of the screen.
Click New Upload.
Drag and drop your .insv or .mp4 files into the upload area.
If you want to place the data on a specific interior level, click More and select Assign Level.
Select the orange icon to position your Walk. Choose the start and end points for your Walk by dragging the orange 1 and 2 icons to the correct locations on your map or drawing.
Click Start Upload.
Note: Do not close your browser tab or disconnect your storage media until the upload status bar confirms the process is complete.
9. You'll receive an email when your Walk processing is complete.
Align a processed Walk
Once processing is complete, you will receive an email notification. You can then refine the alignment on the desktop version of DroneDeploy.
Select Walks from the Media panel on the left side of the screen.
Click the Alignment Tool (crosshair icon) in the right-side panel.
Select your alignment layer (Basemap or an uploaded overlay) at the top of the screen.
Adjust the blue numbered pins on the left and manipulate the path on the right to align and scale the Walk path.
Click Done at the top right to save your changes.
Limitations
Manual alignment features are only available on the desktop/web version of DroneDeploy.
Data uploaded this way defaults to the Exterior map view unless an interior level is assigned during the upload process.
Splitting processed plans is not permitted
