Re: [Avid-L2] Looking for new hard drive catalog software

Mind if I pilfer that tip for twitter? ;)

Or write it up for Larry Jordan, Inside Tips? I use the same trick for some other apps but did not think to use for Neofinder. Should work great since Neofinder stores catalogs as distinct files. Little chance of "conflicting copy" which happens to me periodically with other apps if I forget to actively save and close before moving to another location.

I  have used Neofinder for a long time as well and keep my database on Dropbox. The advantage is that your local Dropbox is always updated in the background, but you still have the benefit from local access.

Have and use NeoFinder and love it, but...

It only works great on a closed network where you access the server-based database over the office intranet.

And now we're all working from home, so connecting to the database via VPN sucks - it is super-slow. Glacially slow.

If anyone has a recommendation for a cross-platform, web-accessible hard drive catalog, please let me know.

Thanks!
