Sync drawings in autocad on multiple computers

[ange_tm_97]

Hello,

I use autocad 2019 on mac and pc and I was wondering if there is a solution for automatic syncing drawings between multiple devices? For example, creating a new drawing in Autocad on one computer, saving it on cloud and when I open autocad from another computer I should click open file and selecting that drawing from cloud. (I hope that I made myself understood) 

Is there a service for such a thing? I use autocad web app but its not really integrated because you have to download files if you want to work on them in autocad.

Thanks!

I don't think the files need to be downloaded, check this video : AutoCAD 2019: Save to Web and Mobile

and this article : To Open Drawings Stored Online

You can just click on the "Open from AutoCAD Web & Mobile" and open the file from the dialog box

Okay, that makes sense, thanks! 

One question: once a drawing is saved on the cloud, does it update automatically when I save the drawing (locally on the device)? or do I have to save it manually to the cloud to "update" the drawing?

Thanks again!

If you opened the file from cloud, it will save back to cloud. But if you opened a copy of your file which is saved locally then it will only update the local file. I hope you get the idea.

There's a few third party plug-ins which do this.  But they *all* copy the files to the local computer, even if it's behind the scenes. You don't want be held up by access speeds, or have files locked up if a connection is dropped. Because DWG files are single-user access the cloud storage needs to keep others out of a file, otherwise there's a risk of last one in "wins".

Is this possible for AUTOCAD2020 LT FOR MAC?

@mmdr7c The topic of this thread is a wishlist that's never been implemented. if you want it, request it here and it may show up in 2-5-10-20years from now https://www.autodesk.com/company/contact-us/product-feedback

or switch to a software package that does that.
