On my iPad two things happen:
1. When I open ACad 360 and search on my Google Drive folder containing my DWG files, it only lists 100 files, in my case, it lists files starting with O and below, alphabetically. Tha A-O files are not shown.
2. When I open Google Drive and search, I find the file but when I try to open it, AutoCAD 360 isn't listed in the "Open With" choices.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for your response, though it doesn't help. If Autocad has a solution, I'd like to know about it. If not, how should I propose an action item for them to fix it?
Seems to be an AudoCad 360 problem. I renamed the file starting with the letter z and it now appears in the 100 listed items 5and can be opened. You're correct that AutoCad 360 seems to have a limit of 100 items, including folders and files. Assuming each file has an additional .bak version, only a maximum of 50 actual drawings can be shown. This is a serious limitation. It would be interesting to open a folder from DropBox or another cloud service with over 100 items to see if the problem is specific to Google Drive.
My other question, regarding Open With remains unanswered. Looks like Google Drive and AutoCad 360 don't play well together.
The Google Drive files were created on a desktop PC using Autocad LT 2000 so the bak files are in the same folder. I use Autocad 360 to access them remotely.
What's the best way to bring these unresolved problems to Autodesk's attention directly?
Hi @garygreen187,
Google Drive app does not recognize DWG files, hence, AutoCAD 360 is not suggested in the 'Open With' dialog box. Known issue on Google's end...
Once you connect your AutoCAD 360 account with Google Drive, you should be able to work on your DWG files within AutoCAD 360.
However, there's indeed a limit for the amount of files that can appear in the Google Drive folder within AutoCAD 360. We're working to increase the current 100 files limit.
Thanks for your feedback!
Best,
It was 2017, it’s 2023. And I just discovered that Autocad Mobile for iPad still has a 100 files limit with Dropbox. Meh… trying to work on a train and this made my morning black.
