We use almost all cloud based file handling.
Interesting question @Madclem1, which cloud service or services are you using for file management/storage?
For example, I understand there has been some success in accessing an AWS file gateway with a Prep so it may come down to your specific situation or infrastructure.
I haven’t looked into this in depth as of yet. We use Google services but I’m not sure if we use Amazon Web Services.
Ahh for google services (like google drive) you’ll probably want to setup or designate an intermediate or “bridge PC” that you can install Drive for Desktop on. Then share the local folder that is syncing with the google drive location as a network share.
The Prep can access Windows network share folders, so once this is shared like this, you should be able to access importable files (such as worklists, protocols, labware, etc) and/or export files to that location (such as run reports, protcols, diagnostics, etc).
We were able to figure out how to do this. Thank you.
