Remote Camera Data Sheet and Online Photo Sharing Protocol
Installing Online Photo Sharing service, Dropbox:
1) Download Dropbox online at: https://www.dropbox.com/install
2) If you attended a training or have spoken to Kit, your email will be added to the “2012 Remote Camera
Monitoring Season” folder on Dropbox. If you need to be granted access to post pictures send email
request to Kit McGurn, Remote Camera Program Coordinator, at [e-mail] to be added
to the shared Remote Camera Monitoring Season Folder on Dropbox. You will receive an invite which
you will have to respond to in order to be added to the “2012 Remote Camera Monitoring Season” folder
Uploading Remote Camera Photos to DropBox Online:
There will be folders for each team and site within the overall “2012 Remote Camera Monitoring Season”
folder. You will need to follow this protocol for creating uploading photos from each camera check:
1) There will already be an overall location folder within the “2012 Remote Camera Season” folder.
(Example: Mt. Rainier_Tahoma Creek)
2) Each time you upload new photos from your last check you will need to create a folder for that
check for each camera site (most teams will have two camera sites) . The folder will need to be
labeled as such:
Location_XXX (previous visit date) to XXX (current visit date)_
Example: Mt. Rainier Camera #1_8/12/12 to 8/30/12
And for second site:
Mt. Rainier Camera #2_8/12/12 to 8/30/12
