Just use the Upload files button and then browse to the .skp file to upload.

How did you solve this issue? I also had the same problem and started a new post for it. I want to use Desktop Connector like we use for AutoCAD, where we can access the file and save which will make a new version. I am thinking this might not be possible since SketchUp is not an Autodesk Product. Also, some of my files upload with the Upload Files icon, but others do not. Any ideas why?

Hi Kev_D

I use BIM360 docs, for my issue i solved by uploading the skp.file to "Project File" group folder, you can not upload the skp file to "Plans" group folder .

Yes I have uploaded the file to Project Files. The issue I am having is that I was trying to work on it like the way we can work on a CAD file that is stored on Docs, by accessing it directly through Autodesk Connector.

Seems this can't be done and makes sense since Sketchup is not an Autodesk product. We have to upload the file through 'Upload Files' and then download it, make changes, and then re-upload. This makes use of the Compare version feature.
