Unsupported File Types
Autodesk Drive allows you to upload nearly any type of file. Here are the exceptions:
File Extension | Description |
---|---|
exe | Executable file |
DS_Store | Hidden file in MacOS, which can get inadvertently added when you upload an entire folder |
F3D | Fusion 3D |
If you attempt to upload these file types, the upload will fail and you'll see an error.
Unsupported characters and filenames
We don't allow certain characters to be used in the name of files & folders.
- Uploads will fail, if the filename includes these characters.
- Rename is blocked, if the new name includes these characters.
Character | character name |
---|---|
< | Left carat/less than |
> | Right carat/greater than |
" | Double quote-mark |
? | Question mark |
Any other character blocked by Microsoft Windows | See the Microsoft documentation for details. |
We also disallow any full filename that is blocked by Microsoft Windows:
- CON
- AUX
- LPT1
- Any filename that ends in a period.
- Several others. See the Microsoft Windows documentation for file & folder names for a full list.
Unsupported files for Viewing
Autodesk Drive lets you open many files for web-based viewing. However, we don't support every file format!
Here is the list of file types you can view in Drive.
Even if you can't view a file, you can upload it to Drive (except the 3 file-types listed above), so that you can share it with your colleagues.
