Warning: "First invite shares all tracks" Preference enabled by default
Tried cloud collaboration for the first time today.
The short version: If you don't want to share all tracks right away, then go to Preferences > Collaboration and un-check "First invite shares all tracks." This is enabled by default (at least it was on my system with 12.8). Longer version: As soon as my collaborator accepted the share invitation, tracks started uploading which I had not selected to share. I'd watched the Avid videos on PT collaboration. In video 6, they clearly say you don't have to share any tracks you don't want to share. So...WTF? I tried deleting the tasks from Task Manager, but they started uploading again. Where share buttons were enabled, I de-selected them, but that didn't seem to stop the tracks uploading. In one case, the button was grayed out (but not disabled). I called Avid and asked if by default all tracks were supposed to be shared. The guy put me on hold to check, then came back and said "no." Then he had me look up a Preference that had nothing to do with the issue. However, while I was there in the Preferences window, I noticed "first invite shares all tracks." I went back and watched the video again, and they don't mention this. Maybe the feature was added after the video was made, but in that case they could have updated it. We couldn't seem to stop the syncing of these tracks, so I trashed the Project and started over with the preference de-selected.

Re: Warning: "First invite shares all tracks" Preference enabled by default
Tech Support told me that "First invite shares all tracks" should be disabled by default.
In my system and my collaborator's, it was enabled. We had never used PT collaboration before, had never changed that Preference. Anybody else have the enabled by default? Please include your PT version and platform in your reply. Thanks!

Re: Warning: "First invite shares all tracks" Preference enabled by default
PT 12.8 on macOS 10.12.2, and the first 2 options in Setup > Preferences > Collaboration are disabled following a clean install or after trashing prefs.
Can you quit PT, trash (or move if you don't want to redo all your settings) Pro Tools Prefs from /Users/*name*/Library/Preferences/Avid/Pro Tools, launch PT and check again? Thanks!

What exactly does "clean install" mean? If it means "installing PT for the first time" (on a system where PT has never previously been installed), then IMO it's absurd to assume that people using PT Collab are doing so with a clean install. One or two sentences about this preference in the Reference Guide chapter on Collab and/or in the demo video (#6) would have saved at least three man-hours of wasted time (~1.5 h each for me and my collaborator). And again, your support agent should have known about it. As I said in my original post, I specifically asked whether there were some reason all tracks might be shared by default, and he said "no".

Sorry that this caused you trouble.
