Sharing Files

[brysonwhitedesign]

I am working on a project for a client. I need to be able to have access to his files without giving him access to my files. We tried right click, Share Public Link from the data panel. This gave me the file that he is working on, but it was no longer linked—any changes he made did not update the file on my machine. Next I had him add me to his project. I can now go into the project and see his files, along with all his updates. I tried inserting his file into my file, but apparently I’m only allowed to insert his file into a file in the same project folder. I tried making a derived part of his part, but again, I could only save that in the same folder.

I need to be able to access his file—along with automatically seeing any updates he makes—and insert his file into mine without giving him access to my file. How can I go about this?

Thanks for using Fusion. Are you looking to view the file shared or trying to edit the file.

Btw, the Shared link will have the latest version when viewed online. You might have created a copy of it, so is the reason the update didn't work. 

Also as you have the option to invite yourself as a viewer you can definitely add yourself as a viewer/Editor and get access accordingly.

This whole thing is Linked Together. 

If you download the File/Project shared by your Client, You won't be able to see any updates. Because it is no longer linked to the Project Shared... So, won't be updated anymore.. 

If you make any changes in the Project shared, Both will be able to see it... (Which you do not want).. 

So there are 2 Options. 

1. Download the Latest file from the Project Shared inside Fusion, and work Independently.. Without the Client seeing your Work. 
2. Copy the Shared Link in the Browser, And Download the Latest File in Fusion 360 Archive. (Which will be emailed to the Email Address you Enter).. And than Download it> Upload in Fusion> and start your Work. 

If you feel you want to share any of your files, Add them to the shared Project.

And if you are continuing your Work in the same File, create a copy of it and than share it. This way, your future changes won't be reflected. 

This is the best way I see this can be done. 
(But you will have to download/save the New file once it is updated by your Client...)
