Project save size, downloaded assets location

Hi there :slight_smile:
Could someone please enlighten me on how the assets are SAVED when downloaded?
Are they downloaded separately for every project and saved into project folder? Looks to me that this is the case, which occupies a lot of space on the drive.

Is it possible to have one download location where all downloaded assets from all projects are saved and instanced into project from there?

It looks to me, that saving with every project grows huge filesizes and are duplicated on the disk in every project if I use same assets.

I know that there would be problems when sending files, but some menu item to “pack used assets” for sending would solve it.

Thanks guys.
D5 is great :slight_smile:
