I am an experienced Revit user but am at a loss when trying to set up our office for remote model sharing. We have been lucky enough to make it this far without it but now, on a larger project, it is very necessary for the entire team to be in one model. I have set up Autodesk Drive but that does not seem to allow us to all work on one model simultaneously. I have researched 360 but as I'm sure you can understand, am struggling to explain to the higher ups why we now need another $900 a year on top of the already expensive subscription. What is everyone else doing? How are you linking local models and central files remotely? -Thanks

BIM 360 is the only live option as far as I know.
Remote Desktop works as well. BIM360 work seamlessly.
If everyone is on the same network, remote desktop might be a better solution. When I read your post, somehow I got the impression that people would be on different networks. My mistake.
we have 70% of our office (400-500 people) working from home. they all VPN connect to our network and use Remote Desktop from there home PC to remote into there office PC. Once they are on their office PC it is just like working in the office. some have even said Revit runs faster when there remoted in.

Thank you for the question @Anonymous!
Posting some additional info on this topic for reference. The following Revit Blog post has more details on these options (Cloud Worksharing / Remote Desktop): Remote working with Revit
The linked article (from the blog above) Options for Remote Access in Revit has more options (Revit Server / Citrix).
If your users have systems in the office, then Remote Desktop (or some other remote access solution) as @syman2000 mentioned would probably be the easiest option.
However, if your users are working with systems (most commonly laptops) which they’ve taken home (i.e. no user systems in the office), then this will not work as well.
Some things to keep in mind when considering Revit Server:
Note: If possible, I would suggest avoiding the use of File-based worksharing (the regular type, that isn’t Revit Server or Cloud worksharing) across an Internet/WAN connection as it isn’t designed for this environment and doesn’t have the necessary protections put in place (like Revit Server or Cloud Worksharing) to prevent corruption or loss of data when there are network hang-ups or interruptions.
