it all depends on your upload speed. you're looking at approximately 130Mb per minute of footage. so a 30 second video is ~65mb. wifi will probably be faster than using your mobile connection, especially in the US... but it all depends on what your upload speed was when you tried it...

Remember to be careful of your download and upload limits if you are going to use a cloud service while abroad. Or make sure you are on a public wifi before you start the upload. You don't want to get hit with a big mobile data bill. Although, Sim Cards on the 3 network have very generous limits (not unlimited though - so still be careful if uploading / downloading movies)

Email them to yourself, I have the same problem with my iPhone, I run out of space real fast in Disney!

It doesn't usually take that long, as some people have said could be your speed.

It will sync in the background so my plan is just to let it do its thing during the day while on Disney wifi, there's an option in the settings to delete backed up content so if you use that at least you know everything is safe.
