Overview

The Autodesk Data BIM 360 Document Management connector in SkySync allows you to analyze, migrate, copy, and synchronize files between your Autodesk account and cloud storage repositories and on-premise network file shares. The first step is to create the Autodesk connection by providing the connection information required for SkySync to connect to the platform. The connector can be created using any user account with permissions to access the content.
