So, how do I move my Autodesk 360 files to the D: Drive? The answer is simple… Use a Symbolic Link. Since my C: Drive is a SSD and my D: Drive is a traditional drive with more space, I want my Autodesk 360 data to sync to my D: Drive. These are not as large as traditional hard drives, so where we put files can be a concern. Many users now have Solid State Hard Drives (SSD). With 25 gig subscription based storage, this is where a problem can occur. However, the Autodesk 360 application does not allow you to change the location of where files are synced locally. Autodesk 360 is FREE with limited storage space, but with the Autodesk Subscription, you get 25 gigs of storage space for all of your data needs.Īutodesk 360 sync’s data locally to your machine. It easily integrates with Windows, so you can add files just as easily as putting them on a thumb drive. I’ve used a variety of services for cloud storage over more than a decade, including Dropbox, which I tried as soon as it came out and adopted for all of my personal files.įor CAD, it’s Autodesk 360! Integrated within most of the Autodesk applications, Autodesk 360 give you access to cloud storage. Having access to my files, on any device, makes working on them so easy. It’s nice to have access to my entire photo library, anywhere, anytime. The Autodesk Drive is a very easy to use platform for sharing information and more.To start with, I am a big fan of Cloud Services and find them amazing. The system will provide a download link that you can share manually via email or you can have the system send the link to a recipient, for example. Once you have uploaded data you can navigate to the folder and then share the data.

There are buttons for Creating folders upload data etc.

You can log in using your Autodesk ID at the site. So you can access the area via Windows Explorer and BIM360 once the Desktop Connector has been installed. The Autodesk drive is not new but will have become the default Autodesk online storage space for data and more.Īlso note that the Autodesk Desktop Connector (used with BIM360 Hubs ) also points to this cloud storage area. If you have data on this platform you can visit and log in with your Autodesk ID and download the data( and perhaps upload it again on the new Autodesk Drive. The A360 Drive purpose is to upload data via mobile apps like AutoCAD Mobile and then share with collaborators.įrom May 2020 the existing data on A360 drive will become read only and later I think the drive will be discontinued. The A360 Drive has been around for quite some time and is being replaced by the Autodesk Drive. The purpose of the blog is to introduce and to show you how to use the Autodesk Drive to upload and share data.
