AutoCAD users generally work in teams and want to centrally store files to work on.
AutoCAD only supports directly attached network drives (like a Windows file share) preventing modern technologies like Onedrive, Google Drive and other serverless file storage technologies from working correctly.
AutoCAD will blindly allow users to update files which have already been modified - causing loss of work and corrupt files.
AutoCAD won’t fix this issue, as they want you to migrate to their cloud solution.
Experiment with Sharepoint file checkin/out and OneDrive folder sync
Test on Friday 31 Jan 2025. Kazuyo Matsuda (Prosper) working from Japan.
Setup trial Sharepoint site at
enabled forced checkin/out of files before editing
Didn’t work as expected, same results as the links above - check in and out of files doesn’t replicate correctly into OneDrive sync tool so pointless.

No good for MAC users
