Record to Network Drive

[blizii]

Hello,
I want to record to a network drive. But I don't know what the best way is. Either record directly to a network drive or to a local hard drive and use software that syncs it to the network drive. My problem is that I don't have infinite local disk space. And I also have clipping software running all the time. My goal is that I don't have to manually sync and then delete every recording. I want everything to run fully automatically in the background. But I'm not sure if it's good to record directly to a network drive and then also with 2 software at the same time

just map the network drive to your computer as a local drive letter and set obs to save to that location. be advised that this will generate a significant amount of network traffic that has the potential to affect other network traffic.

Personally, I'd suggest the chances of trouble with writing sustained traffic over the LAN greatly exceeds easy-peasy setup for moving files

It is super-easy to write a simple Command Shell (CMD) script using Windows OS native ROBOCOPY to move the files (I use a simple ROBOCOPY script for backups). You could then use a OS-based Scheduled Task to run the script every XX minutes / hour/whatever to move content

Writing over the LAN.... just asking for glitches
