sharing .mxd within a Onedrive folder

NoelCantwell1 — Thu, 18 Oct 2018 17:34:22 GMT

I am currently experimenting sharing mapping with a colleague in another country. We want to work with the SAME data on the SAME maps. I've created a shared folder in Onedrive where all the data will reside, plus logos, and anything else needed on our maps.

I build the map on my end, saving the .mxd , and checking store relative pathnames to data sources in properties, is this enough to ensure my colleague on the other end can open the map on his desktop, with no path issues ?

thanks in advance

While I don't know the specific answer to your question, there was a recent thread about accessing OneDrive and ArcGIS Pro and one of the takeaways was that you likely had to create a new drive letter that pointed to the OneDrive location. So, to maximize compatibility, you and and your colleague may need to establish the same drive letter on your respective computers that points to the same OneDrive folder. And use the same version of ArcGIS Pro, of course..

Project package—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop

just keep everything in one main folder, with the aprx in the root of that folder, then relative-ness will be good
