# Set Up a Repository

**Note:** This feature is not available in the trial versions of MotiveWave®

The Repository feature in MotiveWave allows you to save your workspace data files in the file system instead of the local database.

This can be very useful if you want to synchronize the MotiveWave data between multiple computers over a network or cloud based service such as Google Drive or Drop Box. Choose ***Configure > Repository*** from the Console menu bar to access the Repository settings.

#### Sharing using Google Drive or Drop Box

This feature is not limited to these two services. Any cloud based service that interacts with your local file system should work just as well.

For more information on these services, see their websites:

[www.dropbox.com](https://www.dropbox.com/)\
[drive.google.com](https://drive.google.com/)

Note: some issues have been found with Google Drive. These issues are related to the behavior of Google Drive when sharing files. For more information [click here](http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/google-in-the-enterprise/steering-around-the-potholes-with-google-drive/)

For more details on the repository feature of MotiveWave, please refer to the Repository section of the User’s Guide.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.motivewave.com/knowledge-base/general/set-up-a-repository.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
