When exporting objects for later use as proxies (which works amazing!) you have the option to either use ocs or orbx as a format.
What are the differences? are there any pros / cons ?

thank you for your feedback

OCS is a bunch of files - so quick to export, but hard to keep track of if moving to a new location. ORBX is the OCS + assets all in a container file (like a ZIP file). So all neatly contains in a single file. In general, go with ORBX, unless you are exporting a massive animation, which is better done as OCS.
