Solved: Pro Tools First doesn't open projects - MacOS
Hi all, I've had some trouble opening projects on MacOS.
What happened:
What caused this: My Macbook is setup to use "ICloud drive" and "Optimize Mac-storage". This means it will automatically remove local files (which are backed-up to iCloud) when you're not using those files for some time, in order to free up local storage space This caused PTF not being able to find the project files it needed. I'm assuming this behavior wasn't expected as PTF was not throwing any errors and left me in the dark (and reinstalling multiple times....) How to solve:

Re: Solved: Pro Tools First doesn't open projects - MacOS
I'm having this exact same problem, except that instead of not being on icloud I'm trying to save my projects onto an external hard drive. My computer is getting old and I don't want to risk it crashing. Do you think I'd have to move the files onto the computer so that I can edit them in pro tools, and then drag them back to the hard drive when I'm done? That would be workable, but I feel like it shouldn't be necessary...

1-you should have all your work backed up to multiple locations, such as 2 separate external drives AND the cloud. 2-if sessions don't run well from your external drive, it may have a very slow drive inside the case(many use 5400 rpm or 5900 rpm drives). This is another good reason to stick with solid state external drives. Yes, doing backups is boring and tedious, but there are 2 kinds of computer users: those that have had a data loss, and those that WILL have a data loss
