Introduction


Autodesk programs do not work well with cloud storage unless there is a very specific type of access set up to accommodate it.

This guide explains the issues with trying to save Autodesk files to the cloud and how to get around them

Environment

Instructions


There are two paths recommended for solving this issue

  • Take all of the autodesk files currently saved on onedrive and store them locally is such a manor as to not sync with onedrive.
    • make a folder in the C: Drive and be sure to not tell onedrive to save that file
  • Set up a project folder
