Replying to Steve,
Your comments have nothing to do with this conversation. If you wish to
start a new "thread" please do so but it is considered as rude to jump on
to a conversation that has nothing to do with the original posting. You
would be better off starting your own "thread", or better still putting in
a request to support.

Replying to Gene,

Thank you for the extra information. I agree with what you say concerning
backups, although I do not have more than the 1 extra external hard drive
at present, 1 other has copies of files. I have a 3Tb one and it is
encrypted - it took me a while to be persuaded to get the NAS but I love it
now as it is so simple for both computers to access the Shem, hence the
reason for wanting to move the photographs!

Thank you for your interest and the added information.

H Everyone
I would like to see Legacy update their program so I can(we Apple users) can 
use our  APPLE'S.  That is without the hassle of having to get the Word 
conversion to apple. I had a PC but it died so now I a\have an apple now all I 
can do is watch everyone’s chat and comments and wish I still had a PC Word.
Please push Legacy to move forward and get their program on a Apple format

Re: [LegacyUG] Moving Pictures

[Gene Rampale]

Bob did a nice job explaining that.
A UNC - Universal Naming Convention doesn't depend on drive letters. In
business it can be easy to run out of drive letters A-Z.
It just point the drive to a location the \\name.

When you hear cloud computing or cloud storage, just remember it means
someone eles's computer or storage. A NAS Network Attached Storage is your
personal cloud storage. Wow your friends with that one. "I have a cloud
storage system I setup at home"

Good practice to have a second or third portable drive for backups. I use
those Western Digital 1TB Passport drives in different colors. One travels
with me at all times. They are encrypted so losing one does not expose your
life to anyone; just make the password the same and put it in your will or
someplace your next of kin can get to it. A second is stored in at my dad's
house, and a third is locked up in the vault at work. I just rotate them on
a monthly basis.

Thank you Bob, that makes eminent sense actually. I will possibly try the

Re: [LegacyUG] Moving Pictures

[Robert57P_gmail]

A NAS system is more like a local harddrive than Dropbox or OneDrive (in 
my humble opinion).


You basically have 2 methods of access items on a NAS drive.
* On each PC, map a drive letter to the NAS drive.  I'd suggest 
something "higher" than the default - by default it will normally pick 
the next available letter.  That can create havoc later if you add an 
additional harddrive or DVD drive or memory card reader to your system.  
So rather than letting it default to D:, maybe pick N: (for NAS) or some 
other letter in the middle of the alphabet.  And I suggest you use the 
same letter on both PCs (that way if you copy a Legacy configuration 
from one PC to the other, the media will not have to be relinked).  
Doing the mapping will make your computer basically think the drive is 
on your own PC and any software should be able to use it.
* The other method us to use the UNC(?) (Universal Naming Convention??  
Not sure if that's the right initials/name).  If you use this method, 
instead of "D:\mr1" you would use something like: "\\Qnap-xyz\mr1"  The 
first part is whatever your NAS system is known as, 2nd part is your 
normal directory path (of course the path part could include more 
folders just like when you use a drive letter, it is not limited to just 
the first level).  Be careful with capitalization, some NAS systems are 
case sensitive while others don't care.


I believe the 2nd method (UNC) tends to be preferred by most 
professionals, but I'm not sure why.  Bottom line, use whichever you are 
most comfortable with and whichever method the software (in this case, 
Legacy) prefers. I have both Legacy and a NAS, but I've never tried 
storing Legacy data there (I use my NAS strictly for backups).  I just 
did a QUICK test with Legacy, and it appears it only allows for drive 
letters, not UNCs.  But my testing wasn't very involved so I could be 
wrong . . . but it looks like you may be better off mapping a drive 
letter to your NAS drive for Legacy.


Hope this helps,
Bob

I may have been one of the "askees" but - I have all of my Legacy
pictures stored in various different folders in my C drive. I would
like to move these to my NAS server so that both computers can
access
the photos, if I move them and then tell Legacy to relink them
and set
it up for future photos to be filed under the NAS server will this
work and will both computers be able to pick up the photos (not
at the
same time of course!). Thank you, Marion

Marion,

I think there's some trick with NAS servers. I've not used one. I don't 
think it's as straightforward as keeping them in Dropbox or One Drive 
and setting the top folder on both in Options - Customise 6.2 to that 
cloud service folder.

have been one of the "askees" but - I have all of my Legacy pictures stored
in various different folders in my C drive. I would like to move these to
