How to Download All Your GoPro Cloud Videos to Your Computer

GoPro Cloud stores your footage after it auto-uploads from your camera, but getting the videos and photos back out is harder. There is no public API, the website downloads at most 25 files at a time as a ZIP, and there is no way to transfer your media directly to another cloud provider.

To move a single clip, you open the GoPro app on your phone, download it to your device, then upload it somewhere else by hand. That works for a handful of files. It does not work for hundreds of gigabytes of 5.3K footage from a year of riding, surfing, or travel.

GoPro Cloud is a proprietary system with no documented API for third-party developers, so the mainstream transfer tools have no way to reach it.

• rclone has never had a GoPro Cloud backend. It does not appear in any version of the changelog going back to 2012.
• MultCloud and Flexify list dozens of cloud providers, and GoPro Cloud is not among them.
• The community download scripts that exist are unofficial. They need an auth token copied from your browser session and download to your computer only.

Blober is a desktop application (Mac, Windows, Linux) that connects to GoPro Cloud as a first-class provider. You sign in with your GoPro account, and Blober shows all your uploaded media in a visual file browser.

From there, you can:

• Download all your GoPro footage to your local disk or NAS in one transfer.
• Transfer GoPro Cloud media to Dropbox, Google Drive, or any other supported provider.
• Upload DJI media to GoPro Cloud, so footage from more than one brand of action camera sits in one place.
• Copy files between any two providers without routing data through a remote server.

Blober runs entirely on your machine. Files stream between the provider APIs through your own computer, with no relay service in between, and there is no monthly subscription.

Without Blober, backing up GoPro Cloud footage to Dropbox looks like this:

1. Open the GoPro app on your phone
2. Select a video
3. Download it to your phone storage
4. Open the Dropbox app
5. Upload the video
6. Repeat for every file

With Blober:

1. Open Blober on your computer
2. Connect your GoPro Cloud account and your Dropbox account
3. Select the files (or select all)
4. Click transfer

Blober handles the rest, including auto-resume if your connection drops.

If you shoot with both a GoPro and a DJI drone or action camera, your footage ends up scattered across local drives, SD cards, and cloud services. Blober can upload DJI media directly to GoPro Cloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, or any combination of providers, so all your action camera footage can live in one place whichever brand shot it.

A backup is only useful if you can get the data back when you need it. Without a download or transfer mechanism, GoPro Cloud is storage you cannot control.

With Blober, GoPro Cloud can be one part of a backup plan:

• Pull footage from GoPro Cloud to a local drive as a cold backup.
• Copy GoPro Cloud to Backblaze B2 or Wasabi for cheap long-term archival.
• Copy GoPro Cloud to Google Drive so your footage is accessible from any device.

Blober doesn't sync. To add new clips later, run the workflow again: with the default deduplication setting, files whose name already exists at the destination are skipped.

• GoPro users who want to download their entire cloud library to a computer or external drive
• Content creators who shoot on GoPro and DJI and need to consolidate footage
• Travelers and adventurers who auto-upload to GoPro Cloud and want a second copy elsewhere
• Photographers switching away from GoPro Cloud who need to migrate their media
• Anyone who tried to bulk-download from GoPro Cloud and found there is no option

Does GoPro Cloud have a public API? No. GoPro Cloud is a proprietary system with no documented API for third-party developers, which is why rclone, MultCloud, and Flexify can't connect to it.

Can I download my GoPro Cloud videos straight to a NAS? Yes. Blober can download all your GoPro footage to a local disk or a NAS in one transfer. How to get GoPro Cloud footage onto a NAS shows the setup for a Synology or QNAP.

Can I put DJI footage in GoPro Cloud? Yes. Blober uploads DJI media to GoPro Cloud, so footage from both brands can sit in one library.
