BYO drone data hosting
Bring viewer-ready hosted-view packages from DJI Terra, Agisoft Metashape, or your processing workflow into SmartData for secure browser access, team sharing, and review.

BYO hosting needs to make sense for both the people creating processed outputs and the teams who rely on trusted viewer-ready data.
Use DJI Terra, Agisoft Metashape, or your own processing workflow, then host supported packages in SmartData so clients can open a clean viewer instead of downloading files.
Bring processed datasets into a secure workspace where asset teams can inspect, measure, compare, and review without needing specialist desktop tools.
Built by National Drones / SmartData
Real viewer screenshots, hosted dataset workflows, and a team that understands drone capture, processing, asset review, and reporting.
Use polished 16:9 examples across the upload path, 2D maps, 3D Tiles, point clouds, Gaussian Splat-ready hosted views, analytics, volumetrics, and inspection review.
A clear upload path for supported hosted-view packages.
Orthomosaic and site context for fast browser review.
Browser-ready 3D context for terrain and assets.
Dense asset and corridor data for technical review.
Immersive hosted views for site and asset context where packaged splat data is supported.
Corridor overlays, spans, poles, and vegetation evidence.
Stockpile and terrain evidence for volume review workflows.
Review detections, inspection evidence, and reporting workflows after hosting.
BYO Data Hosting is not a raw processing product. It is for teams that already produce supported drone dataset outputs and need SmartData to host, visualise, and share them.
Processed ortho outputs that have been tiled or packaged to a supported SmartData upload shape.

Check hosting plansTiled point cloud packages prepared for viewer performance rather than loose LAS or LAZ files.
Check hosting plansPackaged Gaussian Splat hosted-view assets for immersive site or asset context in SmartData.
Check hosting plansRaw DJI or Agisoft project folders, raw photos, loose GeoTIFF files, loose LAS or LAZ files, loose OBJ or FBX files, and arbitrary file drops are not direct BYO uploads unless conversion or processing is quoted separately.
The launch path is simple: choose the hosted dataset allowance, upload a supported package, then share the trusted SmartData viewer with the right people.
Start Dataset Pass or choose Starter or Pro with the plan query string sent through to the SmartData app.
Use a processed, viewer-ready package for ortho, 3D Tiles, point cloud, or Gaussian Splat hosting.
SmartData hosts the package, checks the viewer path, and keeps storage within the included fair-use allowance.
Invite seats, share the hosted view, and add processing, AI, analytics, or reporting if the scope requires it.
Start with a single upload or choose a plan that matches the number of hosted datasets your team expects to keep active in SmartData.
The low-friction first upload option for proving one processed dataset in SmartData.
AUD 149/year
For small teams hosting a few processed drone datasets across early customer or internal projects.
AUD 249/year
For active teams managing recurring uploads, larger hosted datasets, and wider viewer access.
AUD 249/month
For asset owners that need a contact-led SmartData platform arrangement rather than normal self-service checkout.
Custom pricing
Storage is included as a fair-use infrastructure allowance. Overage is reviewed manually for the MVP rather than charged through automatic overage billing.
SmartData needs a supported upload package. Terra and Metashape can be the source of the processed outputs, but the BYO upload must be packaged for hosting.
These examples set the expectation before a customer signs up or speaks with sales.
| Processed output | SmartData package | Do not upload directly |
|---|---|---|
| Orthomosaic | Supported ortho hosted-view package | Loose GeoTIFF-only exports unless conversion is quoted |
| 3D model | Cesium 3D Tiles package | Loose OBJ, FBX, textures, or source folders |
| Point cloud | Tiled point cloud hosted-view package | Loose LAS or LAZ files without viewer-ready tiling |
| Gaussian Splat | Gaussian Splat hosted-view package | Arbitrary splat folders or unsupported viewer assets |
Processing, ForestSmart, Powerline, inspection AI, analytics, and reporting can be added to a SmartData scope, but they are not bundled into BYO hosting unless the quote says so.
Dataset Pass is the fastest way to host a first processed dataset. Starter suits a small batch of hosted data, Pro supports recurring uploads, and Enterprise is a contact-led arrangement for larger asset owners.
A few commercial and upload boundaries matter before the first paid dataset.
You create the SmartData account with the selected BYO plan, prepare a supported upload package, upload the dataset, and then use the hosted viewer to share and review it with your seats.
Turnaround depends on package size, readiness, and whether conversion work is needed. Viewer-ready supported packages are the fastest path; files that need processing or conversion are quoted separately.
BYO hosting is for processed hosted-view packages including orthomosaic, Cesium 3D Tiles, tiled point cloud, and Gaussian Splat views.
SmartData can quote conversion or processing separately, but BYO hosting should not be treated as a raw photo, raw project folder, loose GeoTIFF, loose LAS or LAZ, OBJ, FBX, or arbitrary file upload product.
Dataset count is the main customer-facing limit. Storage is included as a fair-use infrastructure allowance so the hosted viewer remains reliable.
For the MVP, storage overage is handled by manual account review. SmartData does not promise automatic overage billing for BYO hosting.
Processing, ForestSmart, Powerline, inspection AI, analytics, and reporting are add-ons unless they are quoted separately.
BYO Enterprise is a contact-led sales path for larger asset teams that need custom or unlimited datasets, custom seats, a 5 TB baseline, or a broader platform scope.
