How to mount a project locally via Frame.io Drive
In Frame.io Drive, locate the project you want to mount to your desktop.
Click on Mount Project for that project. It should only take a few seconds to mount.
After the process completes, the project will appear as a mounted drive locally!
Your mounted drive connection will be indicated in Frame.io Drive by a green dot next to the project, as well as two buttons; one to Open on Desktop to the connected location and the other to Disconnect your project.
From the Mounted Projects tab, you should see all currently connected projects, as well as suggested projects to mount listed below.
Note: If you do not see any mounting options, it is most likely your administrator has revoked your permission to mount projects. You can still access actively mounted projects, but you need download permissions to mount a Project. Reach out to your admin to change this permission if necessary.
How to mount a project via the web app
Click on the Mount Project icon next to Assets.
This will begin upgrading your project from standard storage to mounted storage. If you are logged into Frame.io Drive, a pop-up will appear in the web app for you to confirm the connection. Click Open to confirm.
A prompt will then appear: "Opening [your project] on desktop..." to show the connection is underway. If the app is not installed, click the download link from this prompt.
If Frame.io Drive is properly installed, once the prompt disappears, the project should now appear connected to the app.
Click the Mounted Project icon on any Project to open that mounted Project on your desktop, or click Open on Desktop in your Project, folder, or asset settings to open that location on your desktop.
Project Settings
In the web app, when creating or editing Project settings, Content Admins can adjust the Storage Type to be either Standard Storage or Mounted Storage. This will adjust the Project to the preferred storage type similar to the steps above. Click Save to complete.
