Common server share issues with bridge and other CC apps

[mikev4319237]

Hello all

Yes.  Server shares are no longer "supported" by the creative cloud apps. So what is the supported equivalency of a file server for Adobe? We have a team of 20 people: designers,  proofers, customer service reps. We also have a shared asset folder on a server of tens of thousands of images (jpg,eps,tiff) that are linked to indesign pages regularly. The ID files are also shared amongst the designers. Working without a file server seems impossible. What can we use? The designers have a creative cloud subscription, but most other users don't as they only need to see pdfs most of the time. Any suggestions? Thanks

Servers have pretty much never or barely been supported, there are just too many variables.

You need to forget Bridge and get a network DAM solution. Look at offerings like Canto and Adobe Experience Manager.

Thank you! Am I understanding the DAM idea correctly? The assets are still on a physical server? Like an existing PC server. And the DAM system works around it?

Yes a DAM is specifically designed for networked multi-user access.
