I understand how to make a normal process - which will download the file and upload to Youtube But the problem is that I have very large files and it will be a load on the tariff Is there any possibility to give Youtube a direct link to the disk, without downloading the file completely? ---

YouTube does not provide an API to upload videos from a URL. Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues. — @samliew * * * P.S.: Did you know, [the concepts](https://community.make.com/t/make-academy-course-overview/29699) of about 70% of questions asked on this forum are already covered in the [Make Academy](https://academy.make.com).

Oh, wow, I hear you Then I’m not quite sure what the rates are If the files are large, what rate do I need? Because I just tried to upload a couple of files and I immediately exceeded the transfer date. ---

The [Vimeo.com](http://Vimeo.com) api has an upload via url feature on their api. Maybe switch to Vimeo from YouTube? ---

Thank you, that’s a good clarification, but it specifically needs to be YouTube; it’s the users who are choosing, not me. ---
