Sharing Content - iClone 8 and Character Creator 4

There are shared contents between iClone and Character Creator, such as Character, Hair, Cloth, Accessory, Animation, Props, and so on. Instead of individually installing a content pack for each application, which occupies more disk space than necessary, you can take the advantages of the Content Manager to install only one pack and share it with these two programs, or save custom content in a central storage and access it from iClone or Character Creator to free up disk space.
