Hi, is there any way i can store my content in a cloud? like google drive or other?

I dont have any space in my computer drive, is there any way to store my library content online and access it from DAZ?

    A lot of people use external drives.

    I think speed would be a major limitation (and capacity unless you have a paid-for version), whether it would work beyond that I'm not sure - I think at least one person is using DropBox, but as I recall it took some fiddling to set up.

    Dropbox is beyond slow for upload and download.

    So does it work? or not? can I use "My DAZ 3D Library" in some online server?? I am really limited with this computer....but I just want to keep using DAZ...

    As @Clohole indicated, an external drive is a good solution. Just beware that the content database must also be moved from it's location on the C drive. It took me over a week of very tedious checking and rechecking of everything DAZ on my computer before I finally got everything pointing to the external drive. There are a few items that must remain on the C drive but those are for settings that should never be moved (found that out the hard way) and do not impact storage on the C Drive.

    I never tried the cloud. If transfer rates were not an issue, I would be interested in that solution as I travel three days a week and would love to be able to access my content from anywhere.
