What Gets Uploaded When You Share

Use this when

You want to know exactly which files leave your machine when you share a recording with your team, and where those files are stored.

What is uploaded

When you share a recording, HumVision sends two things to the cloud:

Recording files (binary data)

The entire recording folder is packed into a single archive and uploaded. This includes:

• .DAT files — the main sonar data file
• .SON files — raw channel data
• .IDX files — index files for those channels

This is the same set of files that lives in the recording folder on your drive. The archive is a complete copy of those files.

Metadata

A small document is written alongside the archive that lets teammates see the recording before downloading it. This includes:

• Recording name and your email address
• Duration and ping count
• Channel list
• GPS track coordinates
• Bounding box and location label
• Notes you have added to the recording

Annotations

Once the file upload finishes, any contact points and text annotations you have open for that recording are also sent. Teammates see your annotations immediately when they open the shared recording. Annotations continue to sync in real time while the recording is open.

What is not uploaded

• Any other files in the recording folder that are not .DAT, .SON, or .IDX files.
• App settings and preferences.
• Export files you have generated (PDFs, images, GeoTIFFs).
• Other recordings you have not explicitly shared.
• Projects that are not shared separately.

Where it is stored

Uploaded recording archives are stored in Cloudflare R2 object storage, scoped to your organisation's workspace. Only members of your team workspace can access the files. The storage path follows the pattern orgs/{your-org}/blobs/{shareId}/. The file is deleted from storage when the item is removed from the shared workspace.
