Accessing AutoCAD WS From Your Desktop

We’re constantly thinking of new ways of making AutoCAD WS more accessible and easy to use. One of the good things about FTP or DropBox is that it allows you to access the contents of your account as a simple folder on your desktop. Today we’ve released a feature that allows you to do just that with AutoCAD WS.

With this new feature you can create an AutoCAD WS folder on your PC or Mac that you can use to upload files by simply placing them in that folder. These files will be immediately available to you from your Web browser, iOS or Android device. Downloading a file from your account is equally easy -- just copy/paste or drag & drop the file(s) from the folder to anywhere on your computer.

Sounds interesting? -- here’s how to learn more. We’ve added a new tutorial with step-by-step instructions on how to create an AutoCAD WS folder on Win XP, Windows 7 and OSX.

We’ve also made this short video showing you how to set this up and show how easy it is to upload and download files to an AutoCAD WS folder.
