Browser version Fusion 360 unable to save to computer

hailedQAJ8H — Thu, 21 Sep 2023 14:13:22 GMT

I am an educator and trying to interface the browser version of Fusion 360 into the class to eliminate tech and update problems that occur with the students on the installed version. The issue I am running into is the sketch drawings (STL's), or any file for that matter will not save to a thumb drive, let alone the pc I am running on while using the browser version with both students and my own instance of the program.

I was wondering if this issue exists for others or just us so I can bring it to tech to have them fix the issue.

It gives me a fake folder that doesn't actually save anything that can not be found once the window is left. The save just disappears and looks like I never attempted. Nor can anything be found on the pc in any downloads folder I can find using extensive search methods.

Hi @hailedQAJ8H, thanks for reporting this - it is not the intended experience. When accessing Fusion 360 through the browser, it is supposed to default to exporting directly to Fusion Team, which users can then download from the browser.

Are any other save/export-type commands resulting in a similar save dialog?

The export feature if that is the case works perfectly then! Thanks for identifying that it works differently vs the installed version. However the issue where I try to save a sketch as an DXF will not save to the computer or to the Fusion360 cloud. Included an unaltered screenshot of the issue. I can not locate the saved file anywhere.

Again thank you for helping me with the export issue!
