Hi,
I would like to know if anybody has a better method for sharing files and not loose the link between the references?
Currently, I'm using Google Drive. But when I copy from my local drive into google drive it looses the link between files so I have to reattach files again. I keep updating files on Google Drive and every time I have to reattach the files again even though they have the same name.
Can anyone tell me a better way like using VPN or FTP?
Thanks in advance!

Is your Google drive mapped to a drive letter? Or, does it have a UNC name?
If either is true, then define MicroStation configuration variable MS_RFDIR to include that folder. That is, in one of your configuration files write:
MS_RFDIR > V:/ # If V: is a mapped drive letter MS_RFDIR > //GoogleDrive/ # If GoogleDrive is a UNC name

In my opinion there is nothing wrong with Google Drive, but with the way how the files are copied and shared. If this assumption is true, it cannot be repaired by changing sharing platform.

I would concur. I use both dropbox and google drive however they are mapped as local drives via their respective applications.
I've never had much success trying to use the shared links directly (with any application). Its problematic because there is no directory structure therefore you can use search paths.
