I use Synology Drive as my principle document file system, using the Drive Client, so all my affinity files are in their already. i don't really understand why you don't do it like that?

The Linked Service support is for a different purpose, I believe, than you are thinking of. It helps this scenario: You have a document with a Linked resource, where the Linked resource is in the cloud somewhere, but accessible via a local folder. You Save the document (.afpub, .afdesign, or .afphoto). At that point, you go to a different machine, or you share the Affinity file with another user. On that other machine the local path to the Linked resource may be different. This may be true for you, but will almost certainly be true for a different user who has access to the Cloud resources. So, when the Affinity file is opened again (on that different machine or by a different user) the Linked resource cannot be found at its original location, because its local path is different. And at that point you have to Relink the resource. With the Linked Service, the Affinity application will recognize the Linked resource used that Service, and will access it via the Service rather than via a local path. That way, the resource is located and used even if the local path is different, and no Relinking is needed. loukash and karlstatt 2 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

wheeleran Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Thanks for your reply. Both the two points you mention are possible with Synology Drive. Sync-On-Demand even, and saving as .af files. But it's true that I embed all my images and graphic resources, so in that is case syncing files across device through the Synology cloud isn't an issue. Is that what you're referring to the need to sync a .af file that refers to a separate resources folder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. When you have a Linked resource in an Affinity document, the document records the directory path to get to the resource. So, for example, if you were using Dropbox as your Cloud service, you would have a Dropbox folder on your computer, and it might be known to Windows as C:\Users\Walt\Dropbox on that computer. You would sign in to Dropbox using your Dropbox ID and password. You might have another computer, where your Windows account name is wfarrell rather than Walt. On that computer, you might still sign in to Dropbox using the same Dropbox ID and password, but the local directory would be at C:\Users\wfarrell\Dropbox because the Windows account is different. If you were to create an Affinity file on the first computer, linking to something in Dropbox, the Affinity file would be looking for C:\Users\Walt\Dropbox\linked-file-name When you open that Affinity document on the second computer, and it looks for C:\Users\Walt\Dropbox\linked-file-name it won't find it because on that computer it is known as C:\Users\wfarrell\Dropbox\linked-file-name. So you'll have to locate it or Relink it. If you were to enable Dropbox as a Linked Service, then Affinity will know that you're using a file on Dropbox, and will be able to find it on both machines automatically, even though the actual path name to the file is different.
