In theory it's like a network drive, but in practice it is not, because it doesn't ever actually copy data to that drive until you check it in.

Unfortunately, Adobe Drive and VC4 are so incredibly flakey right now, that the odds of you getting to actually check anything in at all are low.

We're in a studio with 8 PC's, all of which ran quite well on VC3 and whom I would consider most of our team to be experts on using VC. With the upgrade to VC4 we have essentially been completely crippled as a company, as we are having MAJOR connection problems now with VC4.

No one can seem to help us. Adobe tech support just suggests deleting the CS4ServiceManager directory, which although works, requires a reboot and thus destroys any workflow. It also does not prevent the loss of the non-checked-in data.

The forums just reveal other exasperated members. We are currently researching other products right now because every hour more random machines disconnect, or Adobe Drive actually crashes the OS. In fact, just a simple shared drive right now would be more useful.

Right at this very moment 3 of the machines randomly disconnected from the server on their own. Trying to reconnect results in an endless loop of the connection bar, and deleting the CS4ServiceManager directory without a reboot (1 of the machines absolutely cannot be rebooted right now because it�s the SERVER!!!!!!) results in the mysterious error of "The Server could not be connected", all while the rest of the machines in our studio are connected and working.

WHAT?!?!?!?!?

Like.... WWWWWWWHHHHHAAAAATTTTT!?!?!?!

No one in my studio has ever seen anything like this with production software, this is utterly astonishing and I am dumbfounded. This is the EXACT same setup we have used with VC3 for quite some time, and NEVER have we been dead in the water unable to access files even when VC3 gave us check-in problems. The lack of local files and the massive bugs in the Adobe Drive connection system make Version Cue 4 UNUSABLE software.

To Adobe, please fix this ASAP � you�re actually removing money (time) from my pocket right now.

Thank you for your time.
