I’d like to suggest an enhancement to the current Bulk Upload Tool used with Forma Data Management.
At the moment, the tool efficiently supports bulk uploading of files from a local machine to Forma. This is already a strong productivity feature, especially for large datasets or batch workflows.
Proposed Enhancement
Introduce a bidirectional capability, allowing users to also perform bulk downloads from Forma Data Management back to a local environment.
Rationale
This addition would significantly improve usability and workflow continuity:
Round-trip workflows: Users often need to reprocess, validate, or reuse datasets locally after uploading them.
Data synchronization: Facilitates keeping local and cloud environments aligned without manual downloads.
Efficiency gains: Avoids repetitive individual downloads, especially for large project datasets.
Broader use cases: Supports scenarios like backup, offline work, or integration with external tools.
I was surprised that this wasn't part of the Bulk Upload tool already. Please Autodesk take a look at this one, big data is very common in today's digital engineering space.
