In Playbox, where do custom audio files live when dropped into Playbox?

Hi NI Team & Community -

I absolutely love Playbox and was wondering...when dragging and dropping audio files into Playbox...

  1. Where exactly do those audio files get saved (looking for the file path on macOS and Windows)? 
  2. Do the custom audio files get saved with the Ableton project instance?
  3. What happens if I delete the source where the audio files are dragged from, will Playbox say files are missing the next time opening the project? (NOTE: I tend to collect all my audio files that I want to use for that specific instance of Playbox into a temporary folder on my desktop, then I delete the temporary folder when I am done).

Any clarity on the above items is greatly appreciated. 🤩

    I can't imagine it operates any different than any other. Delete those files and the instrument's reference to that file will be lost.
