It's broken. The programmers will get it fixed but I don't know when. A graphic file can be linked to several individuals quickly using the Picture Center. It doesn't handle other types though.
Pictures and other media files have *always* been linked to in Legacy and you have always had to keep the files available to the program, i.e., where they were when you linked them. If you put them on a flash drive, you have to keep the flash drive plugged in when you're using Legacy. Also, you run the risk of the drive breaking or getting lost or stolen. I know of people who have lost everything on a flash drive because the wires to the plug broke (they were designed for transporting data between computers, not for storing data permanently). Pictures have to be on the computer. If you have them stored in Dropbox, Skydrive or something similar, you link to the pictures in the Dropbox or Skydrive folder on your computer. Legacy's file paths don't access the internet. You might want to contact Support and ask one of the techs to work with you on this.
