Download video files from asset library/website

Recommended Posts

Hello! I am currently building out an updated website for a client who is migrating from 7.0 to 7.1. This involves the transfer of several image and video galleries. While the image files and embedded videos streamed from youtube etc. are no problem, it does not seem possible to download video/mp4 files from the asset library/current website. It will save a lot of time for my client if I can access these video files directly. Does anybody know if I'm missing something or is there a workaround for this? Many thanks.

We currently don't have that functionality as far as I'm aware, the asset library is pretty new, and will undoubtedly get more functionality in time.

There are a number of Chrome extensions that could help with downloading images/videos for pages, not sure about all from a website, but the sitemap could help.

Please like and upvote if my comments were helpful to you. Cheers!

Thanks for your input Ziggy! You're right - I was onto SS support and they confirmed that you can't download videos from the asset library and the original files must be found elsewhere... Will see if I can find a solution through a Chrome extension though! 

Did you find a good extension? I'm migrating to Shopify due to lack of features Squarespace offers (this being one of them) and need to download videos I uploaded 7 or 8 months ago.

Hello, no I'm afraid I didn't find a solution for this... Hopefully the Squarespace team develop the asset library features in future. I am finding the folders for image organisation very useful in the meantime!
