| User Profile | Recommended Approach | | :--- | :--- | | (different PCs daily) | Use Unity Cloud or Parsec to remote into a fixed workstation. Avoid physical portability. | | Freelancer (2-3 workstations) | Install Hub normally on each machine, but store Editor & Projects on a single external NVMe drive. | | Game jam participant (temporary use) | Use the -batchmode flag with a pre-configured editor on a fast USB drive. Do not rely on Hub. | | CI/CD build server | Use Unity command-line installer with --install-path flag on a dedicated external SSD. | unity portable install top
