MemoQ 9.2 on Parallel 11 running on iOS High Sierra Thread poster: Lucia Messuti

Hello Collegues,
I've upgraded to MemoQ 9.2 and I went to the Locations. When I click on Resources/Temporary files, etc, I get this warning:
"The path you have chosen appears to be on a network drive. memoQ will not work properly if you store resources on a network drive...."
I hadn't chosen any path, it did it itself during installation. Now, the Kilgray Support told storing memoQ files and folders in a shared folder is not supported as it may give issues,... See more Hello Collegues,

I hadn't chosen any path, it did it itself during installation. Now, the Kilgray Support told storing memoQ files and folders in a shared folder is not supported as it may give issues, such as being corrupted.
How do you manage it?
Thanks ▲ Collapse

Hi Lucia,
I keep my memoQ files on the Windows C drive for the very same reason.
Kind regards, Johan

Hi Johan,
don't you have shared folders?

Hi Lucia,
I have Parallels configured so that I can access the files residing on the Mac side in Windows (to e.g. import source files in memoQ), but I can't access the files residing on the Windows side (C: drive) in Mac Finder. I keep my source documents, target files, reference files etc. on the Mac side, but all memoQ's database files on the C drive (TMs, TBs, light resources etc.). I then automatically mirror these C drive folders twice a day (when I'm not working in memoQ) to a... See more Hi Lucia,

I then automatically mirror these C drive folders twice a day (when I'm not working in memoQ) to a Dropbox folder on the Mac side to keep an incremental backup in the cloud. I know that some translators continue to keep everything on network drives without running into issues so far, though Kilgray advises to avoid this scenario as apparently the risk of failure increases. Hope that helps! /Johan ▲ Collapse

Dropbox is a nice and tested solution. Share a Dropbox folder via Dropbox for macOS and Dropbox for MS Windows.
Dropbox also offers a very good versioning system that comes in handy in case of Murphy's law.

Hi Hans,
from what I understand you should not put the resource files directly in a Dropbox folder, as there's a risk for conflicts if Dropbox tries to synchronize the database files while memoQ is writing to them. That's why I only sync those files to a Dropbox folder twice a day when I'm not using memoQ.
I base this on what Kilgray's engineers used to say back when Dropbox and similar services where first released several years ago. Maybe something has changed since.
