SDL GroupShare

Hello everyone, I have an issue with GroupShare. I work directly on the files stored on this server. I have started a translation assignment yesterday, everything was working fine but since this morning I cannot access to GroupShare via Studio or directly via a browser. i've sent a support request at noon and still have no news. just sent another support ticket. My translation is due for monday AM and I cannor retrieve the files that are stored on GroupShare server. Anyone had already experienced that? Thxs

    The way GroupShare works is that projects are downloaded from the server to your PC, where they are stored locally while you work on them. It is only when you check the project back in that the files on the server are updated, but you still have a local copy. You cannot therefore work directly on the files stored on the server.
    However, your problem may be that you cannot access other resources such as TM and TB on your GS server. In order to help you, we need more information. When you say, you cannot access GroupShare, what do you mean exactly? Does your GS server show "available" in the list of servers?What error message do you get, when you try to connect to the GS server?

    On the other hand, the problem may not be related to Studio but to the GroupShare server, in which case you should first contact the operator of the GroupShare server and not SDL, as they would not be able to help you in such a case.
    Did you try to get in touch with your IT coordinator in order to make sure that the problem is not with the server? If not, I suggest this should be the first action to take.
