I have not used Perforce before. I installed ‘p4vinst64’, the installer file, should be latest version, and should have everything needed. I setup Perforce folder for files and created Workspace, and set my computer to be the server computer. I wanted to push the files to my storage drive, but Unreal engine does not see my Workspace. Anybody here have experience using Perforce?

I am a little confused here. I don’t want my project folder and my source control folder to be the same. I want perforce to push my files to my 4tb storage drive. Do I need to install P4D the helix versioning engine onto my storage drive?

Unreal does not see Helix DVCS in Source control setup, says, ‘Source Control is disabled’, but it appears to be enabled.
