Use Desktop Connector to access and manage Forma Data Management files from your local computer.
Desktop Connector creates a virtual drive on your computer, so you can open, save, and organize files in Autodesk cloud drives, just like local folders.
When you install Desktop Connector, a new drive appears in Windows File Explorer. This drive connects your local file system to Autodesk cloud storage. You can open, edit, and save files in the Forma, Fusion, or Drive folders. Changes you make are automatically synchronized with the cloud. Desktop Connector downloads only the files you need, helping you work faster and save local storage space.
Desktop Connector offers several advantages for working with Autodesk cloud data:
Simplified file access: Download only the files you need, saving local storage space and improving performance.
Seamless integration: Work with cloud files directly from Windows File Explorer, just like local files.
Automatic synchronization: Changes made locally are automatically synced to the cloud, so your team always has the latest files.
Design file intelligence: Understands design file references and relationships, helping you manage complex projects.
Offline capability: Work with your files even when offline, with changes automatically syncing when you reconnect.
Keeping your team up to date: Ensure all team members have access to the latest versions of project files.
Accessing project files in InfoDrainage: Access synchronized Forma Data Management project data from inside InfoDrainage.
