How to work with other users on Bridge

Is it possible to synchronised Bridge with other users? 

I would like to share my work on Bridge with colleagues. When I create a collection from my computer, for instance, can my colleague see and modify the collection from his laptop? Does the modifiction appear on my ''collection''?

Is there a way to connect Bridge and network with different users?

Thanks for your help

Bridge stores its collections in a folder under your user account, which is on your own computer, so collections are not stored in a way that can appear on other computers or on a server.

 

If you have a serious need for digital asset management for a networked team, you’ll probably have to look into software designed specifically for that, such as those in the list below.

You cannot share collections. If your images are stored on a server, others can access them but understand that Bridge is not designed to do what you describe.

You can try various approaches using DropBox or something but be warned, that is NOT how Bridge was intended or written to be used. People have tried to use it on a server and have gotten bad results. You also need to use some sort of "cooperation" dyamic for making sure that when one person has a file opened, it will be left untouched by the others. You also can't open a file and then go off to lunch or the store or something. 

 

Just keep in mind that this is not recommended use and anything that goes "boink" is more expected than unexpected.

 

Good luck!
