App Download Failed!

[mnarlock]

Nothing is updating via the desktop app. The error I’m getting, and it’s instantaneous , is “download failed”. I’ve tried several different networks, home and at work, and nothing results in my apps actually updating . 

Any suggestions?

did try directly from your Autodesk Account yet?

Go to https://manage.autodesk.com and log in. Can you download OK from there? If so, problem solved, you don't really need the desktop app.

I can download manually from the website. However, I also discovered what
the issue is. I have my download folder syncing with Google Drive, it's
setup as a virtual drive. Apparently the Autodesk Desktop App doesn't like
that. When I changed the download folder in settings to C:drive all was
well and I could update from the app. Live and learn I guess.

I am also experiencing download failures.  I use Microsoft OneDrive instead of Google drive and thought maybe the problem might be similar.  I changed the OneDrive download folder in "Settings" to a folder on the C: drive and now the Autodesk connector downloads the updates correctly.  Thanks for sharing your solution!
