Hi. So we use various software that relys on linked external files to be loaded in from other drives - think video editting loading footage, or a CAD software loading in other cad files as an assembly, for example we might reference files from a specific folder on F:\ drive, as well as W:\ drive. And we're working on a d:\ drive.
Currently we have been using Boxifier to sync the 3 local drives with folders/files on each between 2 locations, so that both locations can open their local file on their
\ and the linked files on W and F still link and open correctly. Worked well till recently!
With the recent Boxifier "issues" (more likely DB changes that broke it, and its taking an age to fix) I was thinking - Make 3 folders in the root of the Dropbox sync folder (whereever you have set that up), F_Drive, W_Drive and D_Drive. You can then map these drives in both locations to the matching drive letter and put your files on them.
You then work/open files from the mapped drives (and never the Dropbox folder), which means any files being referenced load in from the mapped drives - but all the files are really in the Dropbox folder still and syncing as normal.
Can anyone see an issue with this? Has anyone found a good solution to this issue? Someone suggested this and said it worked, but I just want to check with the wider community before we drop Boxifer and change over!
Thanks,
Mark
