How to manage shared parts across multiple assemblies without using PDM?

Hi everyone,

I have some parts (e.g. 001-01, 001-02) that are shared across multiple assemblies.
The issue comes when I receive a Pack and Go from someone else that includes the same parts.SolidWorks often can't find the references correctly or pulls them from the wrong project folder.

I’d like to ask:

 

What are some good practices to manage this kind of situation without using PDM?

 

Thanks in advance!
