Shared folder

Anchorpoint functions as an ordinary file browser with asset management and pipeline capabilities, allowing you to manage your project files more efficiently. It works perfectly with Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Nextcloud, and your local NAS in the studio.

Virtual files

Tools like Dropbox or Google Drive allow you to keep files online only. This means that you can see something on your computer, but the file is not physically there. When you open it, it has to be downloaded first. These are called virtual files. Anchorpoint will show them with a cloud icon. To view thumbnails, click on the cloud icon in the top right corner. It will trigger the download of the virtual file.
