drive. To download a file or folder of User Content:

folder or file to that location or an external drive connected to your computer.
OR
3. Select Copy from the Media Files or 3D Objects drop down menu or the right click popup
list.

You can drag single or multiple files and folders from a fixture to the
Finder.
You can use the copy/paste (Apple-C, Apple-V) to move multiple files
from a fixture to the Finder.

SMB limitation is 4GB file size per transfer. What this means is more than
4GB of data may be transferred, but no file can be greater than 4GB in
size.
Uploading Content from Your Local Drive to a Media Server

files)
• You are uploading them to the appropriate User content folder on the media server
