We are facing issues working with Desktop Connector, and it is confirmed by Autodesk that they cannot fix them because they came from an acquired software. The idea is that Autodesk will design a brand new Desktop Connector that is on a par with other synchronizers such as Dropbox, OneDrive, or GDrive clients among others.
Here is a list (not exhaustive) of issues found:
- No option to change the location of the ACCDocs folder, causing issues even with Navisworks and absolute paths.
- No option to work with folders/files path length longer than 244 chars.
- Slowness navigating folders.
- No option to rename files.
- No option to check folder size.
- Sync for folders is not kept in time.
- No option to "Open file with...".
- Deleting multiple files rarely ever works.
- When uploading multiple files or folders, some of them are sometimes not uploaded and no error or log is shown.
