sharing reason 12 assets across my local network

Is there a way to share Reason 12 packs and other assets from a PC to a MAC over my local network? They are both my devices.

Is disk space an issue? I install everything on my machines. If you know how to share between 2 platforms refills should be no issue.

It's not space - I'm just surprised that when I add any new packs it requires me to do it on both devices. It's a waste of space. There's nothing in a pack that wouldn't work if shared - pack content files don't launch & stay running- you find a sample or patch or anything in a pack, you add to Reason and that file is free to use.

I get the logic in installing on all your devices - however, I don't put 2TB of samples on both devices - I share it.

IMO, Reason needs to add a Pack Manager or even better an Asset Manager for samples, settings, incremental mixes, etc. (I take up about 2-4 GB per song because after I make a mix - I save it, then open another one.)

Just had a thought - is there a config file for Reason where I could just edit the path of the Packs"

Reading this thread suggests it's not possible but it might give you some clues.

Just manually move them to a shared folder and add them to the favourites for both platforms.
