Question

Images in the cloud, different links for each user, big problem

Hello there,

 

Currently my company is migrating all our documents to the microsoft cloud (executive decisions without consulting the technicians and without taking into account what it implies, as usual XD), this implies that each image or logo that is linked to any document of illustrator has a different link for each user / computer.

 

In my case, every links starts with c: \ users \ company \ USER \ ..., so each person has their own link related to their USER name for each image, which makes it difficult for different people to edit the same illustrator document.

 

Is there a way to avoid this inconvenience and that all the users of our network can access the documents without having to re-link each image?

 

If this issue has already been discussed and solved, please let me know where I can see it, thank you.

Wouldn't each link only start that way if the links are on each user's local machine? If the links are to a network location, no one should have to relink as long as they have access to the same location.

It's not a network location, is a cloud location... And in a well done cloud system probably, it would be like this, but microsoft (as far as I know) makes each user access the cloud folders with their own x / company / USER ... so, every user has his own link

So linked images are not in the same folder as the AI file?

Or in a folder named Links in the same folder as the file?

The links are in a different folder, they do have part of the same address but not all, the illustrators are in other folders, the scheme would be something like this:
c: / COMPANY / USER / LOGOS / FOLDER LOGO / logo.jpg
c: / COMPANY / USER / FOLDER AI / illustrator.ai
