You can exclude uploading of Revit linked files to the vault server by manually adding a property called "ExcludeLinkedFiles" and setting this property to True/False in the ApplicationPreferences.xml file.
To configure this setting:
- Close any Revit application.
- Open ApplicationPreferences.xml file in a text editor. (Typically found at "<C:\Users(username)\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Revit 20xx Vault Addin>")
- Add the following line under the Category "ApplicationOptions" with the desired value (True/False).
- <Category ID="ApplicationOptions">
- <Property Name="ExcludeLinkedFiles" Value="True" />
- </Category>
- Relaunch the Revit application.
