Automatic Vault Sync

Automatic Vault Sync

Hi,
we work in a team and quite often we add materials and decors to the library of appearances. Despite the Vault, it was too ossified. So we switched to connecting and synchronizing all team members via Google Drive. This automatically updates all .adsklib files and texture folders. We appreciated it most when working from home during the Corona crisis.
Too bad the Vault can't do this. I recommend to everyone.

In my opinion this is a JDI project for Vault.  I believe task scheduler could do what we want and then we push Task Scheduler to every PC and let it automatically do a get 1 time per day.  From what I've found is that Task Scheduler will only get "CAD Files" as in IPT, IAM, IPN, IDW.  It can not grab any other file types.  I just need the ability to get any file type from Vault via Task Scheduler.  If that could be opened up I think I could do a get on 1 folder and everyone would have the latest and greatest customization with much more confidence then relying on the users and I really don't want to run around to 50+ PC every time I tweak something.  Then I still have to make sure I didn't make a human mistake by skipping someone or getting side tracked and not finish one.  

 

We really need this and there are many conversations on this dating back to 2007 or earlier like this one:

This could help nearly every user of Vault/Inventor.  In my opinion this is the only way to manage Customization files @ templates.
