Links broken when going from PC to Mac
We currently work in a mix environment of PCs and Macs. This is new for us, as we used to be 100% Macs. We have discovered that if a file is built on a PC, the links all come up broken for anyone on a Mac, and visa versa.
It seems as though the different platforms interpret the same drive differently for example:
Mac link path:
Volumes/Archive/Images/Books
PC link path:
X:/Archive/Images/Books
In addition, all of the files are stored on the same server, but within that server there is some sub-servers. If the .indd file is on the same sub-server as the links, we have little to no issues with linking, but it seems to have issues finding links on sub-folders outside of the one it lives in. (THIS IS ONLY THE CASE FOR PC USERS) The Mac does a great job at finding links across servers.
Does anyone in a mix enviornment have a solution to this!? Surely we aren't the only ones having this issue.
