Working From Cloud Storage?

[A_Joseph_PE]

I posted this in the wrong place earlier... moved to correct location.

 

Do any of you work through cloud storage or remotely accessed files?  I don't mean for backup, but to access and modify then save to a remote or cloud storage device/facility.

 

I work from a external HD, then physically back it up every so often to cloud storage.  I would rather work directly from online storage so I can use different computers to access from anywhere.

 

Was thinking that OneDrive is too clunky.

 

Any thoughts or experience would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Dropbox is the much better choice.

Plans and Database Libraries.

Been using Dropbox for at least a decade, no issues at all.

And you work right from Dropbox?  Like it was your own Hard Drive?

 

Does CA have any tutorials on this?

Yes. No tutorials that I know of but it's as easy as installing Dropbox and using it as a drive. All my client files, plan file, and layout files are saved in there.

Our office of 5 users has a Microsoft 365 Business plan that includes OneDrive. All of our files - the entire contents of our old on-site physical server - now reside in the cloud. It works, but uploads can be slow.
