Hi guys! I just downloaded the demo version and doing some tests before buying the product. I noticed that I can only import files from my local drives and not from my local network. Is it supposed to work this way?
Also, is there a way for the composer to watch a specific folder and upload video files whenever I add them to the folder?
You should be able to import files both from your local device and from any network folder that you can access from your device. As you can see below, when I import files, I have access to my local drives (C and D) and to all my Network drives (K, M, P etc), and I even see other devices on the network.
However, keep in mind that, as the name says, it’s an “import” and media will be copied in your Experience folder, it’s not a link to a distant folder, it’s a copy that is made upon importation.
I recommend you to browse the Fundamentals articles from our Help Center, it’s explained in this one: Adding content to your experience using assets and collections
You can watch indeed the content of a specific folder as explained in this dedicated article by using Windows Folders As Dynamic Source for Collections.
When you change the content of such a folder, the collection in your Experience will be changed on the fly.
