Once you find and select that folder, click OK and you'll see it show up in the Search Paths box with a checkmark next to it showing that it's enabled now: Now you can simple close Cinema 4D and re-launch it to and it should load all of the plugins installed to the new folder.One of the lesser talked about features is the ability to set up multiple Plugin Search Paths. To do that, simply go to the Edit menu in Cinema 4D and choose Preferences. This folder can be named anything, but in this example we'll simply call it "Plugins": Next You need to tell Cinema 4D where to search for plugins. This folder can even be on a cloud service's folder such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or whatever else you use, so that you can use the same plugins folder across multiple machines! This makes things very convenient when you're working at, say, a home computer as well as a laptop or work computer. Solution: Fortunately, in R20 and higher the plugins system has been overhauled to make using plugins a lot easier! All you have to do is set up a plugins path in Cinema 4D's preferences. Although you could simply create a plugins folder in your Cinema 4D installation folder, this is the old method and does not always work properly with R20 or higher versions of Cinema 4D.
