Where Does Vimeo Store Uploads and Library?
Vimeo keeps uploads and library in your account with the phone holding session cache in a private sandbox.
Last updated
Vimeo videos live server-side. Uploads, watch later, purchases, and stats attach to the account. The sandbox holds login session and cached pages.
Privacy settings per video decide visibility across devices uniformly. Staff picks and subscriptions sync with the login. Both phones agree after login.
