Set Up Land F/X on Google Drive
Issue
You need to configure your Land F/X installation to work with Google Drive, with your LandFX folder housed in a shared online folder hosted by Google Drive.
These instructions assume that you already have Land F/X installed. If not, install Multi-User Land F/X, then proceed to the steps below.
Solution
1. Install Google Drive on your computer.
2. Right-click your LandFX folder in Google Drive.
Select Add shortcut to Drive in the menu that opens.
3. You'll now see the menu to the left.
Click My Drive, then click Add shortcut.
4. Navigate to Google Drive using Windows File Explorer.
Right-click your LandFX folder, hover the mouse on Google Drive in the menu that opens, then select Available offline in the submenu.
Then select Add shortcut to Drive in the menu that opens.
5. Follow our steps to map a letter drive to your LandFX folder in Google Drive.
Important notes:
Pay close attention to the path to your LandFX folder. It will look similar to the example path shown to the right (This PC \ Google Drive \ shortcut-targets-by-id \ 13wdcqPT9y-9JxlxiTnwgZO18sSQY3cpx / LandFX), but keep in mind that this path will be different on your workstations.
Take care to choose the same letter for all workstations. (G: shown as an example.)
