The master copy of the file is in the cloud. Now Mary and Douglas use the same files and the path is always the same and the link issues are gone. I got a cloud service called "pcloud", which installs a network drive. The links always get borked with local user path information. This is why DropBox was NOT working for us. When Douglas works on the file again after Mary saves, closes, and it's sync'd (to Dropbox.or Adobe Cloud?), upon opening, InDesign will say "Missing File", and I'll have to go point to my version of the file again. So she relinks to HER sync'd copy of the file, where the path now contains "Mary". When Mary downloads the file I was working on, she will get a broken link because she doesn't have access to "douglas".
#Link adobe indesign cloud to dropbox mac
But if you are working on DropBox, the file path, say on a Mac, is like "My Mac HD:users:douglas:DropBox". If you work off a local server, like "X:/projects/files/thePage.indd", and add a new link, the path will start with "X". And if new computer C opened it, it would sort it out and change the PSD path to reflect complete C Yes, you would have to invite computer C to share the job folder and then all 3 computers will sync the job folder and its assets when any of the files are modified.
Is Adobe Cloud a solution? If so, how's best to implement it? Similarly we feel saving links in libraries won't work either, due to the sheer number of them and the complex folder structure.Īny suggestions welcome! Screenshot of server folder structure attached so you can see how we need to work. So my question is, is there another solution? VPN clearly isn't working, but we're not sure if saving documents in Adobe Cloud (or similar) would allow us to work the way we do, with multiple users sharing Indesign files, and hundreds of links in carefully structured folders that are frequently updated.
Packaging and working from desktop is very time consuming, and relinking back to the server is a nightmare. Freezes, crashes and restarts are frequent, it's very frustrating. Everything takes an age, even just opening a file. We think it's the VPN, probably because it was designed for normal workers who use spreadsheets and word docs, not creatives working with very large files. To say it's been slow is an understatement, and no it's nothing to do with our internet speeds (we've checked, most of us are getting very high speeds). So here's the issue - since covid-19 we've all been working from home via Cisco VPN. There's only one set of Indesign files (one for each page) and every creative takes 'their turn' when they need to work on that particular page. The magazine consists of loads of folders within folders containing links to product images, these images are often edited and the links updated. I work for a design team that produces magazines, there are 10+ creatives (artworkers and writers) all working off a shared on-site server.
