It feels almost too simple, and I’m not exactly sure how it works. Kenesto is much less expensive than enterprise PDM solutions but provides automatic file locking, versioning, vaulting, 2D/3D viewing, and web-based design review tools not found in consumer-grade cloud storage solutions such as Dropbox and Google Drive. Maybe I didn’t need to order all that extra storage!įor now, though, CloudMounter is working, but I am just wary of it for some reason. Kenesto is a cloud-based storage solution for managing engineering, design, and construction documents. It basically a cloud aggregator which maps the cloud drive on the operating to use them just like local storage. However, your notes about only syncing the files you are working on is intreguing to me, so I might try it out sooner. The Odrive is a universal sync client that unified, synchronized, shareable, encrypts a wide range of cloud storage and comprise all of them at one place to access all files folders of the cloud. As soon as the new one comes in, I’m going to try out Odrive.
I have ordered a new MBA with a 2TB drive and I will be sending this 512 GB one back. I decided that I want to try Odrive as you did, but this MacBook Air does not have enough storage. Once it became clear that Google is going to be slow to release File Stream for the M1 Macs, I tried CloudMounter but also kept looking for other solutions. And, it enabled me to always use a laptop with relatively low storage (512 GB or even 256 GB in one I used for a little bit) without issue. one login to unify all your storage unified access to all storage so you can sync, share, backup, and encrypt your files in amazon. That’s why Google Drive File Stream was so helpful. In my workflow, I need access to the whole drive. InDesign links out to a file’s assets (images, logos, etc) that we have stored all over the place, so my needs are not as simple as only syncing one or two folders. Prior to the M1 I always ran Google Drive File Stream on my laptop because I need access to all of my team’s design files (I use the full Backup & Sync app on my iMac). The problem went away, and I never figured out what it was, but at the time I assumed it was CloudMounter (perhaps unjustifiably). My M1 MacBook Air kept locking up, forcing me to reboot.
However, I did have one day where I was traveling and also trying to edit some InDesign files with lots of links. It seems to have worked fine for me so far.
