Vimeo Discontinues the Desktop Uploader

vimeodesktop

Vimeo has discontinued their Vimeo Desktop Uploader. This tool was often used as it allowed for uploading larger files. It also always seemed faster than the web interface in my opinion.

"Our decision to discontinue the Desktop Uploader is the result of the many improvements we’ve made to the web uploader. When the Desktop Uploader was first released, it was the only way Vimeo members could upload files over 1GB. Today, Vimeo members can use the web uploader to upload files up to 5GB, rendering the Desktop Uploader obsolete. But when it comes to technology, obsolescence is a fact of life."

The company suggested that the new website uploader works great and takes the apps place – http://www.vimeo.com/upload.
