in Daz Studio Discussion

OneDrive has been playing havic with me for months. I transferred all my Daz Studio files to my D-drive and now I need to connect Daz to those files.

Can anyone connect me with 'up-to-date' help files on the subject and/or videos?

Thanks in advance.

    If I understand right.

    Go to Edit > Preferences > Content > Content Directory Manager. Epand Daz Studio and Poser formats and corrects the path to the new content library or add new if needed.

    Just a warning. Daz studio is already slow enough on a local ssd, especially with large libraries. Using onedrive or any other network service, apart being more complex to setup, may not be a good idea, performance wise.

    One Drive will definitely reek havok on your Daz Studio library.  

    One Drive is awesome for many of your files.  Excel files, photos, etc.

    It's fine to have Daz Studio libraries on Drive D.  Just not within the One Drive folder.

    I am speaking from experience.

    If you change anything in your DS library, One Drive is going to want to back it up...if you have included your DS library in your One Drive folders.

    Back up your DS library to an external hard drive.

    I will check back much later today and see if you have question.  It is almost 3 am in Texas, so off to bed :)

    One Drive is not a backup solution. It is a sharing solution. If you don't need the sharing, you don't need One Drive. If you delete a file, it's gone. The delete is mirrored to One Drive. That's not a back up.

    First thing I do is disable One Drive on Windows. I causes all sorts of issues and it tries to sync files I'll never use outside of the one computer. If I need to share it, I'll share it manually.

    OneDrive is the invention of the devil. First thing I do with any OS install is eradicate every trace of it.

    Well, you all are preaching to the choir. I turned off One Drive. Now I just need to connect the program to the files on my D-drive.

    Felis, when you said 'Epand' you really meant 'Expand'. Right?

    I think I got it, though I didn't have a My Daz 3D Library in my C/Documents folder. So I created one. I hope that is correct. I'm starting up Daz now to see if it works.

    Thanks for the info.

    If it doesn't work, please attach an image of what your content directory manager looks like.

    What method are you using to install your products?

    The main slowdown is handling all the links for figures, and that is internal processing. Disc speed isn't irrelevant, but it isn't usually the primary bottleneck for figures.
