Are you using the cloud for file storing?
Are you using the Creative Cloud for storing your project files? I’ve been using dropbox because I have instant backups (at least as fast as the internet can upload them). But running into corruption issues. Not sure if it’s related to dropbox or just lousy software.
How is the cloud working out? What happens to your files if your subscription lapses? What happens if you can’t connect to the internet? Can you still work on your project locally? (like dropbox). What happens if the files gets corrupted? Can you go back and open an earlier save (not an autosave. But rather more like a time machine copy).

No, for the reasons you stated and most of my projects
get into well over 100gb range. It would take too long
to be practical for me. -
Your project file is over 100GB!!! Or the project with all the assets?

Hmm, yeah, thats a lot. Not really sure if a 20GB allotment was appropriate for video professionals. Perhaps the other adobe apps that don’t use a lot. I was thinking of using the cloud for my project file. I like the idea of having a constant backup. But the more and more I think of it, I think just having a time machine always connected is the best bet. It’s set to backup every hour. It’s quick and doesn’t rely on fast uploads of large project files (50-100MB) and doesn’t rely on the internet connection for backup (handy when on the road).
