OSD Saving OS and driverpacks to network share

Hi,

When installing OSDCloud using USB the downloaded OS and driverpacks gets saved on the USB, is there any way to save the files to a network share instead so I don't have to download the files every time i reinstall a device? I get that I can put images on the network drive but I would like to automate this. Basically having the "OSDCloudUSB" partition on a network drive. Is this currently possible?

So today, I do this by replicating my OSDCloudUSB to a network share, I then map the share at the start. Example \WD1TB\OSD gets mapped to O:
In O, I have folde OSDCloud with the contents:

You can script mapping the drive first, or do it from the prompt before triggering the GUI.

@FilipJohansson99, any update if you got this working for yourself?

Hi @gwblok sorry for late reply, That is exactly what I've tried without any success, I run net use Z: to a folder on a file server named OSDCloud with the following sub-folders "OS" & "DriverPacks" however during the installation I get a message something along the lines of no USB storage found and that the files will be downloaded and stored locally

Thanks, I haven't had time to look into it. My guess is the code is currently looking for a USB media type to save it off to. I've only ever pre-populated the network volume, which works well.

I'd suggest this work around for now. use a flash drive, so it syncs everything down, then copy the contents of the flash drive to the network volume, then on future runs, it will pull from the network share.

I have no ETA on working on this, life be busy. :-)
