I've tried everything over the years for delivery to clients, and use whatever someone prefers, but I am ready for a real solution TODAY for cloud-based syncing of ProTools sessions.
eg:
I record a dialog session, upload to shared workspace.
My editor 50 miles away pulls the session down, saves as..., and cleans it up.
She hits save, then I see the session on the workspace, pull it down, GO.
If she added audio files, I can have them sync to my drive at will.
Gobbler says there were going to do this in 2.0, but it's not working yet, and I'm about ready to jump ship. The original version should have been able to do this with the drive backup stuff, but I was never confident that it was tracking my latest version of a saved-as structure.
Dropbox and Drive *could* work, but Drive was working overtime on a test today syncing useless things like a Video Files folder that was "modified" because I opened a session that had no video. They don't understand the file structure. Not to mention having to use the main sync folder, which you can solve with MacDropAny, but then you have a whole new set of issues.
Obviously Avid wants me to think they'll be solving this with their cloud stuff, but I'm not convinced it'll work, not to mention I currently have no plans to move past v10, much less moving all my assistants up to 12 on their own dime...
Is there a workable workflow that anyone is using for this, or do I have to continue doing it by hand with one of these services and just skip the true syncing? Despite the massive speed boosts on Gobbler, it seems DropBox or Drive would actually be better suited for this as you can see your file structure more clearly; on Gobbler it's nearly inaccessible once you upload a delivery.
Thanks!
