Can we add a warning if someone links a file using the W drive

You mean inside of Revit? Take for example someone goes to Insert Link and points it at a file that is located on W drive. You want a warning similar to one we have for Grids?

Yes. This is especially frustrating supporting a remote office and they continue to use the w drive and when I open their files all the links go missing. Thanks

It's not just a W drive, but also a Public Parking folders that seem to be used quite a bit. I spoke with @gschleusner about this. Greg has some ideas about creating a remote resource server that would constrain people's ability to select files from anywhere else other than specified folder. Greg promised to spec that out.

This remote resource center for Revit would also serve the purpose of allowing us to quickly reload links for BIM 360 files. Something that @albertotono mentioned here: #235
