Introduction
In my office we are starting using Workssesion in Rhino (first time). It’s a big architectural project and the team is divided into 2 physical places far away from each other. The internet is optical fiber, fast. There will be 3 people sharing the same 3d project, working in different parts of the project. We are trying to use OneDrive from Microsoft to share the files.
The problem
I don’t know why but we can open simultaneously the same file without the mensage apears:
“File is currently in use by the user “User2” on computer “FromPlace2”. File will be opened in ready-only mode.”
Lets’ give names: User1 in Place1 and User2 in Place 2. When User1 from Place1 opens a rhino file, Rhino generates in the User1 OneDrive folder the file “File.3dm.rhl”. After 2 seconds that file will be in User2 Place 2 computer, the file it’s 39 bytes and very fast to send. Although the file “File.3dm.rhl” it’s in the User2 computers, when User2 open the file “File.3dm” (that it’s in use by User1), Rhino simply opens the file as if it not in use.
I opened the “File.3dm.rhl” and it’s inside the text:
“User1
ComputerFromPlace1
Tuesday, May 28, 2019”
Does Rhino ignore that file because it’s from a different user? We are using Rhino5 but i tried in Rhino6 and it happens the same.
Hello - so, the answer is… you can’t do that… The file that is ‘locked’ by the presence of the rhl file on the local copy is the local file only - the one on the Google Drive ‘out there’ is not affected by the rhl file on your machine.
What VPN service do you use for it? I tried Slick, Boleh, Ivacy… Boleh VPN (click here - click here to check the review) was the last I tested, seems like no issues.
