What's the Media Upload tool?
The Media Upload tool in MediaSpace allows you to upload video and audio files, stored on your computer, tablet, or smartphone, to your MediaSpace account. Once the upload is complete, a copy of that file will reside in your MediaSpace online storage and will be accessible from your My Media page. You can then share that file, post it to Brightspace, and even edit it using MediaSpace editing tools. Note that the original file is retained following the upload and remains wherever you stored it on your device.
