We’re currently evaluating the possibility of relocating our package folders to a network-based location. I’ve conducted some initial testing using both UiPath Studio and the UiPath Assistant, and so far, package installations from the new location appear to be functioning as expected.
That said, I’d like to ask if anyone has encountered performance issues with unattended automations when using a network folder for package storage. Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
We have implemented this with package location shared drive.
It’s been more than an year but never faced any issue.
There is a small risk, but with a proper performing infra it’ll be fine.
A network drive might initialize a wee bit later on the start-up of your windows client at the start of an RPA unattended run. The following check from UiPath on the availability of the package ‘might’ fail because the shared drive access isn’t initialized yet, resulting in failed process runs.
Risk is small but I’ve seen it happen on rare occasions.
