Hi Matt,

Thanks for that feedback. I know this has been an ongoing discussion about working on local project files, and why that's important. 

From my understanding, there are a number of reasons why working from a network drive can cause file corruption, namely...

• Latency: This means that the network drive is constantly syncing in the background, and this can cause unwanted problems if you open a file saved to the network.
• Long file paths: W:\My Documents\Articulate\MyStory.story actually means \\MYDOMAIN\MYSERVER\MYSTAFF\MYDRIVE\MYPROFILE\My Projects\Today's Project\Long Project Name.story (and often much worse).  Long path names are really difficult for most applications to deal with, and while open, Articulate projects themselves are made up of many nested levels of organized content.

Also, if a file is opened by several people on the network, or if the network connection crashes, file corruption can occur. 

It's for these reasons that we, along with Flash and Captivate, have discouraged working from a network drive for quite a long time.
