The most convenient way to add new videos to PeerTube is if you have the *syncthing* app installed. Set up [[./app_syncthing.html][syncthing]] with a folder called ~/Sync in your home directory. Create a subdirectory called *~/Sync/peertube_upload*. Within that directory make a text file called *login.txt*. This will contain your PeerTube login details.
