Upload your collection to Movie Collector Connect
Like most things Collectorz.com, uploading your collection to Movie Collector Connect is also very easy.
- Start Movie Collector and click on "Connect > Synchronize"
- Movie Collector may ask you to link unlinked movies in your collection. Select "Yes" if it does. More about linking your movies here.
- The Synchronize Screen pops up. Fill in your Connect User Name and Password.
- Now click "Upload to Connect".
- Green: Add. This movie will be added to your online collection.
- Orange: Change. This movie will be modified in your collection (because you apparently changed some data in your offline collection).
- Red: Remove. This movie will be removed from your online collection.
Don't want some of these changes happening to your online account? Simply uncheck the box in front of the change.
Click "Upload to Connect" to make the changes final on your online account.
Download your collection from Movie Collector Connect
Downloading your collection back from Connect works almost the same as uploading to Connect.
- Click on "Connect > Synchronize"
- Movie Collector may ask you to link unlinked movies in your collection. Select "Yes" if it does. More about linking your movies here.
- The Synchronize Screen pops up. Fill in your Connect User Name and Password.
- Now click "Download from Connect".
Now you have to tell Movie Collector which changes to your local software database (the one on your computer) you'd like to process. The intended changes are shown in that screen, and automatically checked.
- Green: Add. This movie will be added to your local database on your PC.
- Orange: Change. This movie will be changed in your collection (because you apparently changed some data in your online collection).
- Red: Remove. This movie will be removed from your local database on your PC.
