Our company had been using BOX storage, but recently changed to Google Drive. Since then, Project Manager doesn't work. Previous project links are broken and cannot be updated.
When you "Add Existing Drawing..." within Project Manager, you still are able to navigate to the desired drawing and click "OPEN". Nothing happens. There's no dialogue in the Command Line, either.
If instead you click "New Layout..." within Project Manager, you are able to create a new layout based on templates. I've tried starting here and then changing the "Drawing Location" to my desired drawing as a work-around. From here I get a "Project Manager Error" which states "The following selected files do not contain any initialized layouts: /{file location}".
If I drag the the desired .dwg file to my desktop, Project Manager works as expected. This seems to be an issue with Google Drive. BTW, I did localize all of the drawings to my computer - but still sync'd with Google Drive.
¡Resuelto! Ir a solución.

Hi Jason,
How do you access Google Drive on your Mac?
Do you use Google Drive application or some third party app, such as ExpanDrive or CloudMounter?

Google Drive app.
I noticed that Google Drive can be totally cloud based, unlike Box. I did "SYNC" all my drawings to my local computer, though. I expect it to behave like Box.

Probably. I'd say not Project Manager, but AutoCAD itself.

In general, with AutoCAD and cloud base storage, you don't want to be working directly out of the folders linked to the online storage system. The normal method would be to clone/"check out" the files to a separate working folder, then overwrite/"check in" when work is finished.
If you are going to fly by the seat of your pants, expect friction burns.
"I don't know" is the beginning of knowledge, not the end.
