Saving Data to Network Drive

Questions & Answers
1

In unity I can save data and files to:

–my C: drive (persistant path, documents folder)

–the internet (my web server, cloud service, sql (data only))

my current situation has me on a LAN and i need to save the data to a network drive so i can read and write to it when i am at a different stations.

How to save to a Network Drive? (assuming no internet and only a local network.)
data vs files???

i found a solution on my own

working form this post

you can utilize: “using System.IO;”

then you can call the functions:

File.WriteAllText(x1,x2)

and

File.ReadAllText(x1)

Below is my c# code for unity for a test save and read back:

  ////////////////////
 // de boer shapes //
////////////////////

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using System.IO;

public class test_save : MonoBehaviour{
	
	private string target="O:/test_target";
	private string f_name="my_data_test.txt";
	private string the_data=	"de boer shapes

was here"+"

"+
"write this data to a text file please
"+
"save it on my network drive please
"+
“combine with windows and raidrive and save to the cloud please”+
"

"+“here was
de boer shapes”;

	private bool save_failure=false;
	private bool read_failure=false;
	private string read_data="";
	
    void Start(){
		Debug.Log("target: "+target);
		Debug.Log("f_name: "+f_name);
		Debug.Log("the_data: "+the_data);
        savedata2file(target, f_name, the_data);
		Debug.Log("save success: "+!save_failure);
		read_data=readfile2data(target, f_name);
		Debug.Log("read success: "+!read_failure);
		Debug.Log("read_data: "+read_data);
    }
	
	public void savedata2file(string _path, string _file_name, string _save_data){
		try{
			//create directory if needed
			if(Directory.Exists(_path)==false){
				Directory.CreateDirectory(_path);
			}
			//save the data
			File.WriteAllText(_path+"/"+_file_name, _save_data);
		}catch(System.Exception _error){
			//save filaure
			Debug.LogError("file save failed: "+_error);
			save_failure=true;
		}
	}
	
	public string readfile2data(string _path, string _file_name){
		try{
			//return data
			return(File.ReadAllText(_path+"/"+_file_name));
		}catch(System.Exception _error){
			Debug.LogError("read file failed: "+_error);
			read_failure=true;
			//return empty string
			return("");
		}
	}
	
}
