accessing files on multiple PCs

[murpheyd]

I am new to Fusion 360, making models and printing parts 6 weeks now. But I have this problem, I work on 3 PCs. But I only see the designs on the PC I have worked on. And It looks like I have 2 or 3 accounts with the same name yet they only show designs from the PC the account was on, I am wasting so much time and i have to believe this is a simple setup error i committed, can anyone help. Its just me and three PCs trying to work on one project. 

Thank YOU

Standard procedure is to use that same account on any computer to work on the projects, 

you may may have to get AD to amalgamate those accounts, if you were not using the std procedure.

Might help....

I have been able to access all the PCs from one account. I am editing just fine as I log in on the original account.
I can now delete the redundant account and learn the error in my ways.
Thank You for your guidance.

Hello @murpheyd Thanks for posting on the forums

There are several ways to get your models around, the easier one would be by saving your models on fusion 360 and this will sync to any computer using the same account, so be sure to check if you're using the exact same account (mail) on all your desktops so your designs get synced across them.

There's a second way too, if you'd like to keep them stored in a Hard disk drive, USB Stick, etc. All the designs saved on fusion 360 are synced on A360 (https://myhub.autodesk360.com) You could easily log in with your autodesk email and download your models in your preferred format, storing them anywhere you'd like.

Hope my answer helps you accomplish your task. Have a great day!

Yes, I appreciate your inputs, I have now one account, bought a external 2T drive to store models. Thank you for your guidance. I was able to access ALL my work last night on all three PCs.Ready get some serious designs done and train on 360 more.My 1950s American Flyer trains are all getting 3D printed upgrades. It's amazing how fast you can turn designs into parts. Beats the heck out of submitting blue prints to the model shop and waiting weeks.This 360 is so loaded with features and capabilities I learn new tricks every day.Now with my little 3D printed the hobby is my second life. Thank You Autodesk.

I was back into F-360 working on my model train parts when I had a application update. I thought I would check my other laptop to see if was updated too. when I opened it I was shocked to see all my files listed on the left side of the back up PC. I opened a part and was able to do some edits and save it, while watching the Nationals play baseball.

I was surprised as this feature was there all along but I did not understand of Fusion serves up the part files.  Great! Now I can sneak design time in while sitting in on family time. Thank You D
