Cloud based design sharing

sbendele — Fri, 01 May 2020 01:19:55 GMT

I am working from home and trying to continue a Parametric CAD class using inventor. What is the current cloud based File/Design based sharing system. Currently using the desktop connector and the Fusion 360 online system, but its not ideal. The A360 drive used to work great, bit not currently.

Are you just trying to share files?

There are TONS of file sharing programs like Dropbox, OneDrive,etc...

Heck you can even just get a cheap shared website hosting account and just ftp files up to the server and share their links.

I use myhub.autodesk360.com/ and OneDrive.

I have all the cloud storage like one drive. Inventor used to connect to the Autodesk cloud seamlessly. Designs were always up to date and all necessary files were placed there by the software. That seems to have been removed and nothing has taken its place. Using OneDrive or any other cloud storage, if one file is missing or not up to date the entire design is unusable. The Fusion A360 cloud storage is not ideal to share Inventor files. Hoping AutoDesk has a better solution.

In the Desktop Connector which option are you using?

The Drive option should be very similar to the previous A360 Drive, you may need to log into https://manage.autodesk.com to enable this option.

Thanks,
