Media Cache location change to network share in Premiere Pro 2023 and later

When configuring Adobe Premiere Pro (version 23.0 or later) to store its Media Cache on a network share, the application relies entirely on the underlying share permissions for security, as it does not encrypt or apply additional access controls to the cached preview files.

The goal is to understand whether changing the Media Cache path to a network location introduces any automatic behavior that could leave residual cache files exposed if the share becomes temporarily unavailable or if its permissions are altered after cache files have been created.

Specifically, does Premiere Pro retain the existing cache files on the disconnected share, attempt to recreate them on a local drive, or leave them accessible until the share is reconnected with the original permissions? And, are there any version‑specific safeguards or notifications that alert users when the cache location becomes inaccessible?
