Download and install Mimiq:

Connect any local storage to your computer, or mount the desired network shares – SMB, NFS, or AFP – using either Finder (macOS) or File Explorer (Windows). Once those are mounted, any associated will be mounted as well.
FUSE-based volumes, such as a LucidLink Filespace, may be connected through their respective apps.
Once the desired volumes are mounted, launch Mimiq, which will be available as a helper app in the menu bar (macOS) or System Tray (Windows).
If you have read
and write
privileges on those volumes, click the Mimiq helper app, and a list of volumes that report a green 🟢 status will appear.
Launch Media Composer, then create a shared Project (or upload and open one) on the desired volume.
When Media Composer prompts you with the non-Avid storage alert, click Yes

Then you can start working.
Shared Bins opened from an eligible volume will display:

✅ macOS - Avid Media Composer > About Avid Media Composer > Hardware > Avid NEXIS Drives
: (the volumes listed in Mimiq)
✅ Windows - Help > About Avid Media Composer > Hardware > Avid NEXIS Drives
: (the volumes listed in Mimiq)
✅ Settings > Project > General > Enable Bin Sharing on 3rd party storage emulating Avid NEXIS/ISIS
