helpx.adobe.com/drive.html.

using a server presets configuration file; see “

page 4

 Adobe Drive 4.2 is extensible. If you are a third-party asset-management vendor, the Adobe Drive 4.2

SDK allows you to provide integrated access to your DAM system from selected Adobe Creative Suite®
applications. You can use the SDK to customize Adobe Drive 4.2 so that it can seamlessly represent the
contents of your remote DAM system as a network drive on the end user’s file system.

Adobe Drive 4.2 provides access to “hidden” user functions within Creative Suite applications, such as
viewing version history or adding a check-in comment when saving a file. These Creative Suite
features are automatically activated when the user installs Adobe Drive 4.2 along with your custom
connector.
