Project folder location
Hi,
Has anybody run up against any issues with keeping the project folder outside of the recommended ~/Documents/Max 7/ location? The doucmentation 'recommends' that it's kept there, but doesn't say it must be... I have historically kept all my patches in Dropbox for ease of access between my two computers, and have just moved the Projects folder there too. I've dropped an alias in the Documents folder location just in case, but just wondered if anyone had any experience with why this might not work.

I keep my projects in Google Drive, for the same reason as you, and haven't had any problems regarding Max's behavior (Though I do keep a backup to be safe).
Just, be sure that all project files are synced before opening a project on the the second machine, as it might create conflicting files and it could get messy.
Generally, no problems regarding Max, but when simultaneously working on a project from 2 computers, watch out for syncing issues.
Good to know, cheers
Just out of interest, do you keep the whole Max 7 folder in Google Drive? Just thinking how useful it would be to have externals, packages etc all centralised...
Actually yes, all my externals / abstractions / js files, are all in my Google Drive folder. About the packages, I place them in the respective Max's "packages" folder, but I dont think I have any other non-cycling74 package installed, so I haven't gotten into it.
So far, no problems!!
