We've used Google Drive to manage CAD files in a shared work environment for quite a while and generally, it works well. If you look at Xref paths, they show the file location through the user's Google account. Something like this -
/Users/'user name'/'GoogleDrive user account name'/'file path on Drive'
If you look at another user, the path is the same but using that user's account details. I assume this works using some RegEx functionality.
However, occasionally, the xref paths are stuck with a user's details, so the path from one user is
/Users/'some other user name'/'Some other GoogleDrive user account name'/'file path on Drive'
When this happens of course the reference fails.
My thought is that this is due either to some incorrect way that the xrefs are being created by the users or because the path gets too long or some special chars used in the path are causing problems.
I'd be grateful for any input.
Thanks
David
