File Management needs to be improved

[Julie_7]

Managing projects, folders and files in Fusion 360 is much more difficult that it should be. Today I had to resort to using the browser (https://myhub.autodesk360.com/g/all_projects/my) to manage my files.

1. The Fusion 360 data pane should have a link to the online file manager. For a long time I did not even know it existed. I learned about it when searching for help because I could not move a file to another location.

2. Fusion 360 data pane should have all the features so that I never have to resort to using the browser. Using a different tool just makes Fusion 360 harder to use.

3. The data pane in Fusion 360 needs to be resizable. Showing a single vertical list of tiles limits visibility and makes navigation harder.

4. File management, both in the data pane and online, should provide the standard two panel view that has been used in Windows and Mac file manager application for decades. The tree view on the left provides easy navigation and the folder contents pane on the right allows easy access to files. Drag and drop to move would be an extra plus. I realize that Fusion 360 is storing data in the cloud and the stored structure might not match the logical structure presented to users. However, the user interface is the most important part of the "data storage function".

5. Reporting that an operation cannot be completed, but not showing the reason is not very helpful. I was using the online file management and after moving a file I received the error that the file could not be moved. Why? 

In the Fusion 360 data panel trying to move a file often brings up the location choice dialog without showing all the locations. None of the projects are shared, so there should not be any restrictions on reorganizing my files.
