A360 Drive Ideas (Read Only)

I, no doubt like many others, use an SSD as my C:\ drive. We need to be able to move the A360 folder to an HDD so that its syncing doesn't waste writes on our precious SSDs.

Autocad LT2015 used to have this option to automatically upload our user data / files to the A360 drive which was very useful as a lazy backup and a way of tracking work carried out in Autocad [amoung its other benefits] This option has now been removed 😞 Please can this be reinstated? A suggested solution to manually save files to A360 isn't as efficient for us who appreciated the automatic save to A360. Thank you 🙂

The limitation that "Only root-level folders can be shared." is disruptive and unnecessary from a user point of view.

Allows users to choose the directoryand name of the Drive folder. I usually place my Google Drive folder right onto my "C:/" so that I don't have a huge directory to navigate to each time. I also call the Google Drive folder "D" or "G" to keep things short. This is the current directory: C:\Users\sarsenault\AppData\Local\Autodesk\Autodesk Sync\Cloud\sarsenault2CCSS\ProjectName I would prefer C:\A\ProjectName That being said, it should also be possible to move the local folder in case things change.

We have numerous folders set up per job for various contractors & catergorise them so that we can veiw all the folders related to one job. Would like to see this in the new format.

Sharing should always allow for a unlisted link to be shared (such as Google's "Anyone with the link Can View" option), for files and folders. This is the fastest and most flexible way to get up and running quickly with any file sharing system. It should not always be necessary to share via email invite, because this can slow down the collaboration process.

Made a large 3D Model in Inventor for a project, and about 80% of all surfaces are covered by decals. I was hoping to be able to show it off in A360, but to my suprise, decalse aren't supported. From Inventor, i exported to about 10 different file types, but none of those showed decals in A360 either. The closest bet as a dwf, where some decals showed, but others only had a relfective view of the environment. Hope to have full support for decals soon 🙂

I would like to see a "percent complete" in my automatic sync folder. I can't tell if I have a minute or an hour to wait for A360 Drive sync.

Not able to locate or view history of events like the previous version of Autodesk360. Previously you were able to view it from the home screen. All activity, uploads, downloads, edits, etc.

It would be good for folders to show a total size of their contents, including subfolders as well as files.

Sharing is limited to one file at a time. If you can select many files, and you can, give me an icon to share them all. Sharing is not as clearly laid out as in the old version.

The search in A360 Drive does not search shared folders. This really needs to work. I have shared a folder with a few thousand files with some colleagues, but they cannot use the search which slows them down considerably. Currently I am logging them in with my account so that the can use the search feature, this is far from ideal. Kenny

When a consultant, contractor, etc. uploads a file, it indicates in the "Owner" column that one who originally created the project folder is the owner. I believe it should indicate whoever uploaded the file as the owner or as the uploader. Otherwise, everyone thinks I've uploaded every file and they contact me for questions.

It would be nice if we could upload directory structures on the website, either via direct drop or the upload and expansion of zip files with directory structures in them. The new interface will act as though it can upload directories, complete with individual file progress bars, but it will finish with an error and nothing will appear. The old interface of course won't do anything, but for a moment I thought the new one could. Also, the forums here don't work when the Chrome add-ins Ublock and Disconnect.Me are active. Title is blocked and the text entry won't work correctly.

Currently A360 Desktop for Windows makes it difficult to navigate with a browser to files stored on A360 and upload them to another cloud (like box.com or salesforce). My client wants CAD deliverables sent in a specific way. Please make it easier for me to share these deliverables with my customers. I recorded a video to explain the problem and the idea. http://autode.sk/2rZmkwW Feedback welcomed - Cheers! Ethan Lipman https://twitter.com/etlipman https://www.linkedin.com/in/etlipman

Does A360 have WebDAV support yet? Given that ACAD360 does I would have expected to have seen it in A360.

In addition to categories: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/a360-drive-ideas/add-categories-in-the-new-a360-drive/idi-p/6294652 we also need tag capabilities. The difference referenced here: http://usabilitypost.com/2008/10/17/categories-vs-tags/ Basically, we could use categories to organize folders/files in a tree structure like by clients or projects. We would also be able to tag folders/files with attributes across projects (like skid/facility) etc.

Let the Team Hub Admin set a common Drive working folder eg. (C:\Autodesk\Drive\). One specific scenario where this would be helpful: Trying to setup a simple integration between Vault Pro and Fusion Team. Where we configure Vault to publish DWF files to a network folder which points to the Autodesk Drive path. This actually works pretty well, except the "Network Path" is set in Vault and needs to be the same for all users, specifically when you have the Create DWF at Check In option turned on. If the Autodesk Drive path was a common path (like the Vault working directory), this wouldn't be a problem and Vault could automatically sync any DWF to Fusion Team.

Our team uses a specific filing system stored on a network drive (not on 360). I would be extremely helpful if, when modifying and saving a drawing I could save it to the folder we use in house (for organization purposes) and have a copy saved in the 360 drive so I can access that when mobile for review with clients.

It seems a bit redundant to have two free A360 locations, i.e. A360 'Free' and A360 Drive. A360 Drive should be merged into A360 'Free'. Understanding that there are other Autodesk services tied into A360 Drive such as Sync, ReCap Photo, FormIt, etc, these would have to managed in a similar or maybe amore elegent way which builds on the already existing A360 'Free'/Team framework. With the services like ReCap Photo and FormIt these are already being treated as 'projects' in A360 Drive by placing them into a folder structure. So why not leverage the inbuilt power of Projects in A360 to manage these folders of files instead? You don't have to offer the A360 Team features such as Commenting to free users, but definitely Projects as a bare minimum might make sense in this case. The same could be done with A360 Sync. Maybe this is considered a Project in A360 'Free', and that project could be called Drive? Or maybe that Sync folder of files is a standalone folder structure in A360 'Free' which is not contained in a project. I just think that A360 provides a more logical environment in which to organise the files which are already being generated from other A360 products.
