Is there a way of checking what drawings are currently shared in AutoCAD web?

The integration of AutoCAD Web and OneDrive allows sharing drawings that are saved in OneDrive, but there doesn't seem to be a way of checking which drawings have been shared. The Shared column remains blank even for the shared drawing, as shown below.

Also, if you delete the shared drawing from OneDrive, that doesn't have any effect on the shared copy, which presumably is saved somewhere in the Autodesk cloud storage.

 

So, I was wondering if there was a way of checking what drawings are being shared, if the original resided on OneDrive when it was shared?

 

I am aware of the fact that the links to the shared drawings expire after 7 days.

 

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Hello,

 

On the left slide of the screen under OneDrive, click Shared with me. The list of shared files should match the same Shared list in OneDrive.

 

Best regards,

Hi Mike,

 

Thanks for your answer, but I probably didn't describe my problem accurately enough.

 

The scenario I am trying to understand is when I, as a user, share a drawing from OneDrive using the share function in AutoCAD web.

OneDrive doesn't seem to be aware of the fact that one of its files are being shared by AutoCAD web (hence my presumption that the file is copied from OneDrive to Autodesk internal cloud (not directly accessible to you as a user) and shared for 7 days from there).

 

AutoCAD web also doesn't indicate in any way what files you are sharing (as a user) if they are not saved in AutoCAD web cloud storage.

 

So, the question I have is how can I check what OneDrive drawings I am currently sharing via AutoCAD web, but also if they have been accessed, downloaded, etc..

 

I am looking at this from the data security point of view.

 

Thanks,
