I’m wrapping my head around the changes in 2026, especially as they relate to media storage and “Wiring” between machines.

Again, this is why centralized Project Server is the ultimate and only logical workflow. None of this insanity happens.

Has anyone tried the "Project Sharing" NFS Exports collaboration method in the 2026 Flame Manual in a mixed Mac and Linux environment?
