Hello everyone,
maybe this topic is not new, but i would love to have my project loaded in cloud so i could open it anywhere, with any pc, without downloading it, but running it with all the information stored in the cloud.
is there any practical example already done that i could test? and is there yet any hosting site active?
thanks
As far as I know there’s not any service that lets you stream your files from the cloud without downloading the whole project, as the read/write speeds needed wouldn’t be achievable in a practical sense. What you can do instead is use source control to host your files on the cloud, and then only download the changes you’ve made from other computers on the one you’re currently viewing.
As an example, if you used Github, you could store your project source in a repo (the cloud) and then download that repo to another machine. The first time you go to access it on another machine, you’ll need to download the full project. After that, you’ll only have to download smaller packages that contain only data that pertains to file changes you’ve made, i.e. new textures you’ve imported, level changes, code changes, etc.
I use source control in my project to connect my partner to my code as we live in two separate countries. He typically works while I’m at my day job, then when I get home he’s pushed his changes, which I download to my PC at home, which takes a couple seconds, and then I’m good to go to work, submitting my changes for him to grab the next day, and so on. You can also do this to share your project between multiple computers for yourself, as I also do, taking my laptop with me to work on lunch breaks or other times when I’m away from my desk at home and have some time on my hands.
Let me know if you have any questions.
That’s not what he wants, he wants it to be like Geforce Now or Playstation Now, where it runs the completed game on a server and streams the video to your device and sends your input commands back to the server. The issue with doing that for yourself is that you need a server in your region or the lag will be a problem, and big services can afford to have servers in many different locations.
exactly. The only reason I’m (for now) using this feature will be to stream my archviz projects with just few interactions.
Isn’t a hosting service giving me protection about this? (It’s probably a stupid question I know but I’ve never streamed before).
I am thinking to Cloudgine or other powerful cloud systems on the web now
Yes it’s risky, but i would really prefer to find someone who can host my archviz so i could let people (through a login) use my projects.
As i saw, will Cloudgine do something like that?
yes on our next (and first) meetup we will also talk about it 
in the while i am looking to something where i could test some demo i’ve prepared
So is there any usable cloud app (also demo) to check how things work?
thanks
Hello there, I know this thread has not been active for a while but I am also looking for similar solution. Has anyone found a solution to this yet?
