WHY DOES TRACTOR SOFTWARE NOT SUPPORT CLOUD DRIVES?

WE ARE STILL STRUGGLE WITH HARD DISK OR USB.

TODAY, ALL OUR MUSIC IS ON CLOUD DRIVES.

NOW WE CAN ACCESS THE MUSIC IN OUR CLOUDS.
PLEASE LET'S KEEP UP WITH TECHNOLOGY NOW.

(GOOGLE DRIVE, ONE DRIVE, FTP, AND SIMILAR.)

    Hello

    I think you can, simply use a service like OneDrive, and then in Traktor software ad the Music folder of OneDrive

    Just avoid (in my opinion) real time synchronisation and only sync when not using Traktor (or pause the cloud sync while using it, to avoid unnecessary sync at the moment)

    You can also use syncthing to manage a local music library synchronisation between your devices (PC, Mac, smartphone) on your local network. Just always have a backup in case of a bad sync (it's rock solid, no bug, but need to be understood)

    And even with cloud service always have a backup in case of

    My music is definitely not there and certainly not for everyday use, at most as a backup and also not there because it would cost money every month with the amount that I have.

    The cloud storage you mentioned does not offer any good options for a well-organized music library and is absolutely not suitable as the main storage for music.

    For something as important as the combination of DJ software and music, it is best to have your music available locally, especially in times when SSDs are cheaper than ever before.

    If you want to host music on demand then you should do it yourself, e.g. with a Plex server, whether locally or in a data center, but for me that has nothing to do with DJ software.

    But actually my local music storage synchronizes with my Plex server, so I always have a data set and of course don't forget backups.

    So if you're going to do it, do it right. It won't help your problem, but I just wanted to point it out.
