Warning! Keep your user library on the same drive as Chief!

[Michael_Gia]

iCloud works the same as Dropbox or any other cloud service. 

But if you want your user library to be available on other devices then it must be placed in your iCloud or Dropbox drive, which sits on your hard drive and is mirrored in the cloud. 

When I say that I move my user library to the cloud I mean I place it in the folder that is in my iCloud directory. I don't put it in the cloud myself obviously. That's an automatic feature of iCloud/Dropbox. 

 

I don't know why everyone keeps drawing attention to this distinction.

The point is, if you move your user library to the cloud (the drive sitting on your local hard drive which represents the cloud drive you are suncing with - much longer to say) then you might have a problem on your hand with Chief not being able to locate your plan/layout files on that same cloud drive.

Michael,

 

Don't move the library or any other individual files.  Move the entire Data Folder and set the Path to the Data Folder in Preferences.  Then it works fine - no problem.

Thanks Joe, I will try that on maybe my laptop first to see how it goes. 

I think I'll wait a few days to build up the courage though.

I should've come here first instead of calling tech support? That's a sad state of affairs isn't it?
