And to prevent clobbering, always duplicate and create new versions of sessions when handing them off to another user. Always set the project you're currently working on (as you probably know) to be "Available offline" so that Pro Tools is never trying to stream audio files linked to a session. For collaborating with fellow producers on Pro Tools I've found Google Drive to be the most robust and reliable service, with the exception of this recent update - which by the way provides cool new functionality for syncing multiple Google accounts on the same desktop account.
Always archive and back up your files locally.
The cloud should never be used for archiving and backup. In a collaborate environment sharing files over the cloud is mission-critical. I'd be curious to hear.įINE PRINT: Ignore all the cloud naysayers. If this doesn't work for you, let me know. You should be able to open a PT session from any project in that drive now. Google Drive will restart after you save this change, and a new drive icon will appear on your desktop. Change it to your Desktop - that's what worked for me. The second setting from the top is "Google Drive folder location." By default it is set to "Volumes/gdrive." Select Change.ĥ. In the Preferences pop-up window, click the gear icon at the top right.Ĥ. Click on the gear icon in the drop-down window.ģ.
Click on the Google Drive icon in the menu bar.Ģ. Google Drive's settings offer you a way to do this:ġ. The solution is to manually change where the root Google Drive folder is placed on your machine. Namely, the virtual drive is now mounted in a location that Pro Tools, being dumb, can no longer see. The issue, as best I can tell, has to do with an update to Google Drive (once upon a time called Google Drive File Stream) that changes the way the drive is mounted on Mac systems. Just encountered this problem as well and I am happy to report I have a solution for you.
