Export DXF - Cloud based version doesn't recognize computer drives

When I export DXFs in the browser based version, the software does not recognize my drives.

The only options are "This PC" "Downloads" or "Temporary Files", but the "Downloads" is not the same as the one I find through the Windows Explorer, nor does it show up on the Chromebook Downloads.

In the attached screen shot, the left one is the installed version of Fusion showing all my location options, including a USB.

The right one is the browser based version that my students use that shows "Downloads" and does not show the USB (either on my windows machine, or students' chromebooks).

 

Edit 9-13: The Autodesk Desktop Connector created a "Fusion360" drive on "This PC" but does not show in the dialogue box when I export the DXF.

Last year they could download from the Chromebook-only browser based version, load into Google Classroom and use that like a transfer service to then transition to software for laser, router or plasma.

The only thing I can suggest is create the sketch in a component then use Save Copy As to create a design from the component then download the design as a DXF from your hub.

 

Any reason you can't use the manufacture workspace in Fusion to create the G code for your machines?

Thanks.

What I missed was the Hub as the download space. For some reason my search terms were not helping me find that step.

 

As for Manufacture, we do all 3D G code in that space. 

It is simpler to have them use the laser's print utility, Vectric for the router and Sheetcam for the plasma so that they can use the machines quickly.
