Overview
The Autodesk BIM 360 connector in DryvIQ allows you to analyze, migrate, copy, and synchronize files between your Autodesk BIM 360 account and cloud storage repositories and on-premise network file shares. The first step is to create the Autodesk BIM 360 connection by providing the connection information required for DryvIQ to connect to the platform. The connector can be created using any user account with permissions to access the content.
Creating a connection using OAuth 2.0 authentication requires different information than connecting to an account that doesn’t use this authentication. Review the table below to ensure you have the information required to create the connection.
Creating a Connection
Expand the Manage section in the left navigation menu.
Click Connections.
Click Add connection.
Select Autodesk Data Management (OAuth 2.0) as the platform on the Add connection modal.
Enter the connection information. Reference the table below for details about each field.
Select Sign in with Autodesk Data Management (OAuth 2.0).
On the Sign In modal, enter the email address and click Next.
Enter the password and click Sign In.
Select Allow access when prompted to authorize the connection.
You will see a green "Connected” message on the bottom of the modal when DryvIQ establishes connection. (If the connection test fails, verify the information you entered.)
Click Done.

Field | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
Display as | Enter the display name for the connection. If you will be creating multiple connections, ensure the name readily identifies the connection. The name displays in the application, and you can use it to search for the connection and filter lists. If you do not add a display name, the connection will automatically be named “Autodesk BIM 360 (OAuth 2.0).” DryvIQ recommends you add a custom name if you will be creating multiple Autodesk connectors you need to readily identify. | Optional |
