Uploading from PC


Step 1

Turn the camera on and plug into the computer using a USB-C cord. A new folder window may open automatically. If not, open This PC or My Computer to view storage devices.

Step 2

Under the “Devices” section, open “Ricoh Theta Z1” and then click “Fixed Storage“.

Step 3

Next, open the folder labeled “DCIM“.

Step 4

If you captured photos using the mobile app, open the “100RICOH” folder.

Step 5

Inside the “100RICOH” folder, you will see a list or group of thumbnails. There should be 2 identical files for each photo: a JPG and DNG image. We will use them all.

Step 6

Create a new folder on the desktop. I called mine “360 images“. Select all the images in the “100RICOH” folder and drag them to the new folder.

Step 7

Open the Dropbox URL that you were provided. Click the blue “Add Files” button and then click “Files from your computer“.

Step 8

Navigate to the folder you created. Select all the images and then click “Choose for Upload“.

Step 9

Fill out the boxes labeled “Your name” and “Your email address” and then click “Upload“.

Step 10

The images will now begin uploading. Once complete, you will see the screen above telling you “Finished Uploading“.
