The way to solve the issue of having a Unity workspace reserved exclusively for Avid Projects instead of Avid MEDIA is to FAKE the Avid MediaFiles folder. Create a dummy of it using a texteditor so that the Avid THINKS that there is a MediaFiles folder, because you don't want it to create a NEW one, but to have to be something that CAN'T be written to.

I don't have a solution for THAT one, but it's clearly something that would be good. In Unity, I think you can assign permissions. Not so much with shared drives or specific drives on a system other than Unity.

For instance, in a newsroom, there is often a Unity workspace designated for shared projects, not media. Your idea would not work as the Avid system would simply create a new MediaFiles folder.
