Shared drives let the whole team access local files directly from Moss.

What is a shared drive?

A shared drive is any local folder that contains assets that are synced or accessible to others. This could be a cloud service like Dropbox or Google Drive. It could also be a local server or network drive.

Setup

Admins

A team admin needs to set up a shared drive before the rest of the team can connect to it. To set up, open Settings from the sidebar and click on Shared Drives.

Choose the shared drive type (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc) you want to use and click ‘Choose folder’. A file dialogue will open—select the root folder of the drive. This should be a folder that your team has access to.

Ex: Your team works out of a Google Drive named “Studio Assets”. You should select the Google Drive folder named “Studio Assets” from the dialogue.

Once you’ve made your selection, you should see the name of the folder and the path.

Members

Once an admin has setup a drive, anyone on the team can connect to it. To connect, open Settings from the sidebar and click on Shared Drives.

You’ll see a list of drives that have already been setup.
