3ds max using drive

[lenangake47]

Hi guys, i am working on a small studio where i am the only 3d artist we use a NAS for the assets and stuff. Now the complany want to switch to use google workspace, using google drive as a storage for what is inside our NAS. My question is, is there a big disadvantage on working on 3ds max with your assets on google drive? I assume i have to use the desktop version of Drive and Relink the assets there. what will be a pain in the ass but my biggest concern is about performance.

Do any of you guys work using google drive and what is your experience? im not that experienced on the industry and without any other 3d artist on the studio i have no references so it will help a lot to hear some

I assume Google Drive works like Dropbox or Onedrive, i.e. it keeps local copies of recently used files and files not used so much will be online only?

If so, there should only be a major speed penalty for stuff coming from the cloud.

And of course Google might have copy of your (and your customers') data, in case that matters.
