Challenges

Navigating the complexities of AutoCAD projects in a cloud environment presents unique challenges. From ensuring large file compatibility to maintaining critical external references, businesses face hurdles that can impede collaboration and efficiency. These obstacles underscore the need for a specialized solution tailored to the demands of AutoCAD file management.

Large File Handling

Managing and sharing large AutoCAD files without compromising performance or data integrity is a significant challenge.

External References

Maintaining the integrity of external references (Xrefs) in AutoCAD files during cloud storage and access is crucial for project accuracy.

Collaborative Workflows

Enabling seamless collaboration among team members on AutoCAD projects, especially with file locking and version control, is often fraught with inefficiencies.

Remote Access

Providing reliable, fast access to AutoCAD files for remote team members without the need for complex VPN setups poses a logistical hurdle.


Learn how our solution addresses these challenges, enabling streamlined, secure, and efficient management of AutoCAD projects.


Existing Solutions and Their Limitations

In the realm of AutoCAD project management, the transition to cloud storage has been met with significant hurdles, particularly when it comes to handling large files and maintaining essential external references. Despite the availability of various cloud storage solutions, businesses frequently encounter limitations that impede collaboration and efficiency. These challenges highlight the necessity for a specialized cloud storage solution tailored to the unique demands of AutoCAD file management.

Inadequate File Support

Solutions like Dropbox, SharePoint Online, and Box struggle with large AutoCAD files, leading to syncing issues and data conflicts without global file locking.

Limited Version Control

Dropbox and similar platforms fail to offer robust file versioning and locking, causing overwrites and necessitating repeated work, especially after system updates.

Poor External Reference Management

Many cloud storage options, including ShareSync and OneDrive, lack the capability to efficiently maintain AutoCAD's critical external references, disrupting workflow.

Complex Administration

Platforms like VPN and FTP offer cumbersome administrative controls and file locking configurations, leading to operational inefficiencies for AutoCAD users.

Cloud Drive Mapping

Drive mapping is an important feature for online file access. End users can easily drag and drop files and folders from a set of mapped drives over the Internet without a VPN connection.

Global File Locking

File locking is a vital feature for online file access and team collaboration to avoid conflicts. End users need to control global concurrent online file access by using file locking to maintain consistency.

Permission Control

Dropbox and Google Drive don't have the same level of centralized control as a file server. You might miss the NTFS permissions and the ability to know where your data is, who has access to it and what they're doing with it.
