Project Files and Storage

Project files are the most valuable thing a design or construction firm owns, and they are also the hardest to store well. Linked Revit models, point clouds and deep project folders behave very differently from ordinary office documents. The articles in this category compare the real options, including file servers, SharePoint, Egnyte and Autodesk's own platforms, and explain which files belong where. They also cover sharing large files with consultants and contractors, keeping remote staff working from current versions, archiving closed projects, and making sure backups cover work in progress rather than last month's copy. If your team spends time hunting for the right version of a file, start here.
