Bulk Transfer Huge amount of Images

User Support Data Management

Hello,

We have a few forms that have massive amounts of images. I do not know the full size but I suspect in the range of a few hundred gigabytes of data.

Is there any method or tools not available to the front-end user for transferring these? Do admins ever intervene to help transfer large amounts of data to a new an AWS account or are we on our own. I do not think the bulk downloader would be able to handle.

Welcome to the community, @zjohnson! Maybe you should be able to download your media files as outlined in the post discussed previously:

This one too should be helpful in your case:

Looks great thanks. Are you able to provide an example of the URLs needed for the json file?

@zjohnson, if you are using the Kobo Inc. server, you can use:

{
    "token": "your-secret-token",
    "kf_url": "https://kf.kobotoolbox.org",
    "kc_url": "https://kc.kobotoolbox.org"
}

And if the OCHA server:

{
    "token": "your-secret-token",
    "kf_url": "kobo.humanitarianresponse.info",
    "kc_url": "kc.humanitarianresponse.info"
}
