External database path (e.g. network folder)

[Phil]

Hi!
How can I change the standard save/open path of the tap forms database(s)? I’m using a NAS with lots of different network folders (e.g. music, databases,..). All my files are saved at the network storage.
If I create a new database, I’cant choose a path where I would save the TP5-file? Same problem, if I would open a saved database-file?
I’m not interested in third-party online storage like Cloudant!

Any suggestions here?
Thanks, Phil

Hi Phil,

I don’t make any guarantees that it will work properly when stored on a network file server. Internally the document is an SQLite database file and it may not like being accessed from a network volume, especially if you’re opening the same file on multiple computers at the same time.

But if you click on a file in Tap Forms then click on the Show in Finder button (->) at the bottom of the database documents window, you can see where Tap Forms stores those files.

Thanks,

Brendan
