New "Cloud Storage Services" with Google Drive, Dropbox? What the heck?
Pro Tools 2020.5 now offers a new preference under the Collaboration tab, related to "Cloud Storage Services."
The "What's New in Pro Tools 2020.5" document, on page 3, states: "Pro Tools lets you work with sessions on cloud-based file synchronization services, such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or Microsoft OneDrive." What the heck is this? I'm currently using the horrible Avid Cloud service for collaboration, and if this is hinting at using something OTHER than Avid's servers, I'm all-in. Anyone have a clue?

I don't see that option in there for me, on 2020.5 on windows.

I'm not seeing how to set that up. Do you know how to link a google account to use instead of avid cloud?

As our future demands the flexibility of having “eggs in every basket”, I guess anything and everything’s possible. “With Microsoft Azure, our preferred cloud-hosting platform, Avid is ready to help you use the cloud to quickly adapt to new trends, adopt new technologies and adjust to changing market conditions.” https://www.avid.com/microsoft I’m sure we’ll hear more when the time is right

Re: New "Cloud Storage Services" with Google Drive, Dropbox? What the heck?
It looks like the new preferences will help when you are working on shared storage its all very basic with the preference selected another user with access to the same storage as you can read only (not write to the file).
We've been working via cloud storage (one drive) for 9 weeks. Small size projects mainly promos and fast turnaround tv. Basically just use it as shared storage location and we move materials between one drive and local drives. 3 pro tools systems and probably 20 picture editors. Reading the deeper info from avid https://www.avid.com/microsoft this feels more like future plans that lock you into end to end avid solution. Reality is we need flexibility now to work with many solution providers. True, broadcast is moving to cloud... Many already have. Bruno Last edited by SBP; 06-01-2020 at 03:16 PM.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding some of the responses, but this isn't some sinister new pay-to-use-dropbox thing. Pro Tools Expert have a good explainer of what the options mean, scroll down in their article here:

Re: New "Cloud Storage Services" with Google Drive, Dropbox? What the heck?
Yes, in fact it's the opposite -- they're expanding cloud collaboration functionality so that you're able to use other sources and less likely to buy Avid's own service. This might explain why there's little information related to how the process operates. They would still, of course, prefer that you pay them for theirs.
