>> ONeDrive or Google Drive

You could probably use one of these for backup file storage.

The general advice for using cloud storage with audio software is, don't! Especially if you are depending on what has been termed "a piece of wet string" to stream your audio between your computer and the cloud.

Cloud storage is fine for saving copies of your finished work (if you wish to do that) but not for live working, IMO.

Alright I will close this topic. BUT I thought MAGIX had an easier way to link to the CLoud Storage,

while I was installing, I could of swore I seen a choice...so naturally I thought there was some kind of FOlder that would be created that would link to my Cloud storage of choice. I am sorry if I got it mixed up with something other that I had installed recently on my PC

Hi,

I presume that you are referring to the Update Notifier which gets installed with Magix products unless you uncheck the box for getting additional software during installation.

The Update Notifier can be opened from the hidden icons task bar and you get this:

Is this what you mean?

You can link to your OneDrive account and download files from there to your computer. All it does is open an explorer to select files/folders from OneDrive cloud storage and copies them to a destination on your computer.

Forget trying Google Drive as Google will probably block access.

The Cloud Import feature still shows up in some of Magix' products but it does nothing - deprecated.

Well yes, that's what I said, didn't I? 
 

@playoftheyear  There's an interesting recent thread about OneDrive here:
