I still use the local (boot) drive for Avid, Premiere, After Effects, Audition etc. projects. I back up these projects at least once a day both to my media drive and to my Dropbox. Kind of a belt and suspenders approach.

This was a tip I git from Bryan Castle at Avid some time ago, too.Always backing-up… works great.On May 20, 2015, at 7:08 AM, "Steve Hullfish Steve@veralith.com [Avid-L2]" <Avid-L2@yahoogroups.com> wrote:Yes. I work with my projects native in Dropbox. Not sure how smart that is but my understanding is that the Dropbox files live on my local drive and sync to Dropbox. I don't have slow downs or crashes but my projects are fairly small.I just went to my PC and the latest edit I did on my Mac was on my PC without me doing anything. Of course the media was offline.
Sent from my iPhoneSteve,
That sounds so great I wanted to make sure I understood what you meant. By, "I've been using DropBox as my External Drive for Avid Projects…" you mean you maintain an Avid Projects folder on dropbox and work directly from it?I migrate my project folder from one system to another via DropBox, but I always copy it off to whichever system I'm on and then have to make sure I'm working from the proper copy. If I could simply leave the project folder on DropBox and work from there —as I think you're saying— everything would be vastly easier.Now, if I could just leave the media there as well…Martin
