file sharing

[Daren_W]

Has anyone figured out a way to have 2 users access the chief files and related pdfs etc without having to download the files and reupload hoping the other user hasn't made changes...?

(the 2 users are in different cities)

Daren, 

 

Having previously used Google Drive for project sharing, I can provide a solution that worked for my team. While we were working in the same office, I don't see why this wouldn't work for remote purposes. 

 

Setup a shared google drive between two google accounts > Download the google drive for desktop app > configure the desktop app to stream files, and show the shared drive in your file browser > when you open a new project, save it to your shared drive.

 

Any edits one of you makes will be saved to the shared drive. Just be sure you aren't both working on it at the same time, and backup a version locally just to be safe. FYI this setup worked great for us for X16 however I have not tested this with X17 and the new Project Management structure.

 

Hope this helps!
