At its core, a Cinema 4D Asset Browser database is simply a folder located on your hard drive or network.

 

Before sharing the Asset Browser database you will first need to create one if one has not been created yet. You can do this via the "Create New Database..." command (screenshot A) under the Databases menu in the Asset Browser.

Here are your options for sharing it:

  1. Basic Transfer: Copy the database folder from one computer to another, then use the Connect Database command (Screenshot B) from the Asset Browser’s Databases menu, choose the folder you copied, and click the Select Folder button.

  2. Network Sharing: Convert the Asset Browser database folder into a network-shared folder, then connect it via the Connect Database command.


Important Notes:
You can also use an environment variable to automatically connect a network-shared or locally-hosted database folder when Cinema 4D launches.

Please refer to the following Knowledge Base Article on how to set up the environment variable to automatically connect an Asset Browser database:
