# GoPro Plus Cloud Media Download & Backup

> How to connect Blober to GoPro Plus Cloud. Download all your GoPro media, back up to other providers, or transfer to local storage. No 25-file limit.

GoPro Plus is GoPro's cloud storage service, offering unlimited storage for GoPro camera media. Blober connects to your GoPro account through a simple browser-based login.

**Blober is the only tool that connects to GoPro Cloud.** rclone, MultCloud, and Flexify do not support GoPro as a source. GoPro's own web portal limits batch downloads to 25 files at a time bundled as ZIPs, with no bulk export or "Download All" option. Blober removes these limits entirely.

## Capabilities

* ✅ Browse media (photos & videos)
* ✅ Upload files (up to 5 TB)
* ✅ Download files (highest quality, parallel downloads with automatic resume)
* ✅ Delete media
* ✅ View file metadata (resolution, camera model, capture date)
* ✅ Progress tracking for uploads
* ❌ Create folders (GoPro organizes by date/camera automatically)
* ❌ Move/rename files

## Prerequisites

* A [GoPro Plus](https://gopro.com/en/us/gopro-subscription) subscription (or GoPro Premium)
* Media previously uploaded from a GoPro camera or the GoPro app

## Setup

1. Go to **Workflows** => **New Workflow**
2. Select **GoPro** as source or destination
3. Click **Open GoPro Login**
4. A browser window opens - sign in with your GoPro account
5. Blober captures your session automatically and the window closes
6. Start browsing or transferring files

> **Tip**
>
> Your session lasts approximately 20 hours. When it expires, Blober will open a login window so you can sign in again - no data is lost.

## Multiple Accounts

Blober supports connecting multiple GoPro accounts at the same time.

1. In a workflow, open the **GoPro Account** dropdown
2. Click **+ New Account** to connect another GoPro account
3. A new login window opens - sign in with a different account
4. Switch between accounts using the dropdown

Each account maintains its own session independently. You can run workflows against different accounts in parallel.

Use **↻** to refresh the account list.

## File Organization

GoPro automatically organizes your media into folders by date, camera, and type:

```plaintext
/2026-01-23/HERO13 Black/videos/GX015742.MP4
/2026-01-23/HERO13 Black/photos/GOPR0001.JPG
/2025-12-15/HERO12 Black/videos/GX014521.MP4
```

### Browse Modes

| Mode         | Description                     |
| ------------ | ------------------------------- |
| Flat         | All files listed at root level  |
| Hierarchical | Date => Camera => Type => Files |

### File Selection

When browsing your GoPro Cloud library, you can select:

* **Individual files** by clicking a single file
* **Multiple files** by checking several files across folders
* **Entire directory** by ticking the **/ (Entire Storage)** checkbox

After making your selection, click **Submit Selection** to add the files to your workflow. There is no file limit - transfer 10 files or 10,000 in one run.

## Supported File Types

| Type   | Extensions                     |
| ------ | ------------------------------ |
| Videos | `.mp4`, `.mov`, `.avi`, `.mkv` |
| Photos | `.jpg`, `.png`, `.raw`, `.dng` |

## Metadata

Each file includes the following metadata, available for use in Blober's naming templates:

| Field        | Example            |
| ------------ | ------------------ |
| Camera model | HERO13 Black       |
| Capture date | 2026-01-23         |
| Resolution   | 5312 × 2988        |
| File size    | 142.5 MB           |
| Duration     | 0:32 (videos only) |

## Uploads

Blober handles uploads to GoPro Plus automatically.

* Files up to **5 TB** are supported
* Upload progress is reported in real time
* If an upload fails partway through, simply retry - no partial files are left behind

## Best Practices

### Backup Your GoPro Cloud

Use GoPro as a **source** to back up your cloud media to local storage or another cloud provider. Combine with scheduled workflows for automatic backups.

### Migrate to Another Provider

Transfer GoPro cloud media to S3, Azure, Dropbox, Backblaze B2, or any other supported provider. Blober always downloads the highest resolution variant to preserve original quality. Files move directly from GoPro Cloud to your destination - no manual downloads required.

### Browse Efficiently

Use hierarchical mode to browse by date and camera model, or switch to flat mode to see everything at once. Use Blober's filtering to find specific media types.

## Troubleshooting

### Connection issues

* **"Not authenticated"** - Your session has expired. Open the **GoPro Account** picker and click **+ New Account** to sign in again, or pick another previously connected account from the dropdown.
* **Downloads not working** - The file may still be processing on GoPro's servers. Check that it shows as ready in the [GoPro web app](https://plus.gopro.com/).
* **Login window reappears** - If you close the login window without signing in, Blober will not re-open it automatically. Click **Open GoPro Login** again when you're ready.

### Upload issues

* **Upload failed** - Simply retry the upload. Blober handles temporary errors automatically.
* **Slow uploads** - Large files take time to upload. This is normal.

## Limitations

* **Storage:** Unlimited with GoPro Plus subscription
* **Session duration:** \~20 hours before re-authentication is needed
* **No folder management:** GoPro organizes files automatically - you cannot create, move, or rename folders/files
* **Rate limiting:** Large batch operations may be throttled by GoPro

> **Caution**
>
> GoPro does not provide an official public API. If something stops working after a GoPro update, check for a Blober update. Your use of GoPro Plus through Blober is at your own risk and must comply with [GoPro's Terms of Service](https://gopro.com/en/us/legal/terms-of-service). Blober does not guarantee uptime or uninterrupted access to GoPro services. See our [Terms of Service](/kb/docs/terms-and-privacy/terms-of-service/) for details.
