DOWNLOAD YOUR FILES A.K.A BACKUP TO YOUR HARD DRIVE

[Anonymous]

It is not that I don't trust the Cloud storage but I will like to be able to download the Designs I create in Fusion.

Here is what I have in mind:

Select the Project Folder-> Right Click-> and Download All the Files on that folder. As of today, that can not be done.

For my taste, it'd be like Git.

Local repositories on all machines synced over the cloud. 

Added benefit - cloud downtime no longer impacts users.

Under the file menu, you can go to export and select F3D to export to your local machine. This lets your save designs to your hard drive. Is this what you were looking for?

No. Here is a real example:

I have one assembly with over 50 parts. I want to be able to download all 50 parts at once. My understanding of the export function is per part, correct?

Git is decent with small repositories, but is terrible for larger ones - especially those using binary/non-text files.

(I haven't looked at the file format(s) used by Fusion 360 yet though, so that may not be a problem. ;>)

That being said, it's a good system for being able to reliably sync state between collections of objects, so would be a big win.

Just to be clear like Git storing the diffs.

I'd be surprised if Git, itself, were appropriate.

Ahhh, got it. 🙂

Hello, while this does not work at the project level, I did want to ensure all were aware of the Fusion Archive capabilities.  To the question asked here, that will allow for automatically packaging up of all the files needed to build the Fusion Design (2D or 3D).

You start this from A360 by downloading a "Fusion 360 Archive"

Next you will recieve an email with the link to the Fusion 360 Archive (.f3z)

From here you can download that to your desktop.  This is an archive of all of the components that make up for your Fusion Design (2D or 3D)

Thanks, 

Daniel

It would be nice if entire projects could be downloaded as a backup. This would need to be done in a variety of formats.

For example, say I have created a library of fasteners for my use, say 500 items. I would like to download a compressed version of the whole project in .f3z as well as .stp and Inventor formats (perhaps by ticking boxes to choose formats).  Dwawings could be selected from .f3z, .dxf or .pdf formats.

Currently, I have to do this for each model individually. I recreate the folder structure, download each file (via email link) for 500 files times 3 formats. This example took several days.
