Hi Ya'll

I'm Struggling to find any answer to a couple of questions about the cloud store mini if anyone can help?

- If you connect a couple of PC's up via ethernet, can the storage space be added as a local drive to the computer so you can access it easily through My Computer?

- Will it be fast enough to capture 1080 video through Adobe Premiere or Media Express to record straight onto the storage space?

- If connected to a PC that has Dropbox, can the storage space be used for the Dropbox to store local files?

Thank you in advance if you are able to help at all

If you have a 10g network. It will work BEAUTIFULLY. Again if you have a 10G network. If you are just using 1G, you will have issues.

1 - Cloud Store works like any SMB share. You can map it to you computer. Google "Map network drive to Windows" (or mac if use that).

2 - Yes, even a 1GbE connection can handle that.

3 - As the drive is mapped, anything can be directed to it. Dropbox, download folder, google drive. You name it. What is best as a workflow is a different question.

I have a small 5port 10g switch that connects the Mini and 2 desktops (one Mac and one PC) with 10g nics.

I was able to edit an entire series of videos on my Mac directly accessing the Mini with no problem. Now that I have an M1Max connected, the storage drops out a bit every so often - which is a bit frustrating. I should test it against a different M series.
