Hello, I’ve been working in the UE4 and now i’m ready to share my work with other team members, like the mapper and other artists so that we can have a true collaboration setup. I am a subscriber and the team members I add will also become monthly subscribers, I understand that. However, I want to take the existing UE4 project put it on a Perforce Server and give my mapper access to the latest version of the game as he works on the level. When he checks in the level, I want to receive it. Everything sounds simple to do, but the setup seems daunting. 1. I want to use the Perforce 20 license free program 2. My team members are remote, so should I setup a server locally or do a DigitalOcean/Cloudforge kind of setup to avoid dynamic IP issues? 3. If I have compiled the project with the Engine C++ from github, do I need to host all 32+Gigs on the Server Its all very confusing and the documentation is very high level thus far. Again, I’m just looking for a targeted Perforce/UE4 Integration Setup guide. Thanks for any help.! ---

After lots of work and rework. I have solution that seems to be working. Currently, I used Digital Ocean for cloud hosting for my Perforce server. If you refer to this webpage, its what I used to setup my server using their support guides. > **[Perforce Server setup help or documentation. | DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/perforce-server-setup-help-or-documentation)** > > I’m very interested in using Digital Ocean for a Perforce Server. Can you provide help on how to do it? Thanks! It wasn’t too hard to setup and easy enough for anyone to setup. Hope it helps others. ---

I think this is a very important question and if you have never used version control for your projects you are crippling yourself from the start. I won't go into... The best guide out there. HE even has an auto installer. ---

Yeah, that’s hands down the best, still worked about 2 months ago when I set mine up.
