BIM 360 DOCS - Share files outside of project

[Ezekiel12]

Hi,

lots of clients upgrade from BIM 360 TEAM to BIM 360 DOCS, which is far superior. But DOCs is missing some really basic functionalities, like - File sharing OUTSIDE of the project (like TEAM can).

See below image of DOCS sharing options and TEAM sharing options. Docs can share only with project members (which is totally useless 😞 because they already have access to it). 

At least add the option to share it by link to anyone. 

Additionaly, you can add:

- Log of all shared files

- Set expiration to shared files

- Maybe add this option only to users with edit/upload permissions.

Please Autodesk, this is "Must have". You don't develop the BIM 360 TEAM anymore, which is fine, but lot of users switch to DOCs and this basic thing is missing.

Thx,

Matt

I can now share a view from Revit 2021 to Autodesk Viewer, but I still cannot share a view from BIM360Docs. I'd have to download the source file and then log into autodesk viewer just to upload the file in there and then share it to external parties. That's just plain silly and a massive waste of bandwidth and time.

Just checking in when this implementation is going to be finished with viewing capability, not just download?

The old BIM 360 Team had this, and so too the free Autodesk Viewer. So why not your leading product?

I agree, this doesn't make much sense. Our company is still forced by Autodesk to use BIM 360 Teams just because Autodesk has forgot to implement this feature to BIM 360 Docs.

Agreed - using Microsoft Onedrive, I can just drop a file into a folder in windows explorer and issue a shared link (with password and setting an expiry date) with only a few mouse clicks.

Maybe Autodesk has a secret global strategy - it's for all of it's users to migrate back to BIM 360 Teams ? Since it's the only solution for us to be able to share projects with outside with a link that never expires with the possibility to view the model with this link.
