can this be caused that I am saaving and creating unity project on mapped drive?
I have R: drive and its dropbox shared folder
but one of my last projects was at this drive, and it worked.
I was testing exactly same workflow, once saved at C: and secondly saved on R: and project saved on my C: is working without problems

Yes, that would be the root cause.

I wonder why you didnāt get a warning though since we do check for the availability of symlinks on the project drive.
Changed the channel name: Build fails on Dropbox network drive
I think this is different issue where a drive is mapped - not a drive without symlink support
Dropbox / Google Drive are kind of āvirtual network drivesā, I thought they didnāt have symlink support either but maybe they do. We should probably exclude both, itās not a good idea to have projects with many files on them - and as far as Iām aware thereās no .gitignore or similar for them either
I am baffled by the environments people try to use for dev like this
if there are any tutorial makers out there encouraging this I will go tell them off personally

Well, I know firsthand how hard it is to get people to unlearn āput the project where my files sync between machinesā and learn āthe mystical source control that is gitāā¦
I think it would be good if at some point we have some docs for it! It looks like a steep learning curve.
