> [@vaughajj](#): > > Unfortunately the use case doesn’t lend itself well to uploading to dropbox or youtube as the student work needs to be kept private and the class frequently uploads the movies directly from iOS devices lended out to them by our college so setting up Dropbox each time the devices were checked out won’t work. YouTube is a great solution to this though… as they can upload natively via the YouTube app and default to `private` so the video isn’t public and is only shared when embedded into your community site. It’s entirely free and the delivery / speed is top-notch. Is there anything missing from the workflow that would preclude YT? I use this exact workflow for videos I make for my moderating team. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/uploading-video-file-returns-sorry-there-was-an-error-uploading-that-file-please-try-again/70963)._
