# 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.
Uncheck the ***Use Local Database*** option to store information in the File System instead of the database. You will need to choose the root directory for this information by clicking the **Browse** button. If you would like to share this data using Google Drive or Drop Box, make sure to choose a location inside the shared folder.
#### 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/)
