Jarr3tt88 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Hello, I'm hoping someone might be able to help me. I've been using chief for many years mostly on X2. I recently upgraded to X7 and I love all the additions since. My biggest problem is the save times. They are getting ridiculous! I have to wait almost a full 2 minutes every time I save, and these files are not even that large. They are about the same size as any project I've done on X2. So I was wondering, am I alone on this issue? Or is there others that experience this? Its not any file in particular, its all files. When I save in AutoCAD, it is seconds, now chief takes minutes and it kills my workflow. My computer specs are top shelf, so there should be no reason to take more than a couple of seconds to save these files. I really hope someone can shed some light! Thank you in advance! My computer specs Windows 10 64-bit AMD FX 9590 4.7ghZ 8-core processor 32GB RAM GeForce GTX 960 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 You definitely have something else going on. It only takes me seconds to save plans no matter how big they are. You should probably contact tech-support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 If I remember correctly a lot of us had that problem when we first upgraded to X7. I know it was fixed. Maybe you don't have the latest release? IAE do as Michael says and call TS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I would check your AV settings and make sure Chief Files and Folders are exempted. That may not be the problem, but it might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarr3tt88 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Hey thanks guys, I needed to call support on another issue, so I asked them about this. The "problem" is saving on a network HDD Personal Cloud. It went to instant saves on my desktop, so I guess I have to save there, then move to the network afterwards...Just incase anyone else has that issue. You can't save to the network with files unless you want extremely long save times. It makes no sense, because every other program I use (including AutoCAD) saves instantly. Annoying, but what can I do, nothing until they fix this issue hopefully. Thanks again for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I have my files on Dropbox. This works without delay because there is an actual "Dropbox" folder on my HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKitchenAbode Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Use OneDrive, all device syncing and cloud uploading is done in the background after the file is saved. Works like a charm!! Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Good to know. I was considering using OneDrive. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKitchenAbode Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Good to know. I was considering using OneDrive. Thank you What I really like about is that it's baked right into Windows. The OneDrive folder and subfolders all show up in explorer the same as all other files. As such all programs recognize this folder for regular saving, file retrieval, searches and the likes. All other devices, including my Windows phone, update seamlessly no matter which device you are using. You can also control which files are shared with different devices, very useful if you have say a tablet with limited storage. Best to give it a try along with some of the other cloud ones like DropBox and see which suits you best. Graham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
