Is there a way to share files with non members so that this can be used like a cloud file site.

We use this platform to be a single source for all project files. To eliminate the need for other sites like drop box having a way to share files would be essential. Also a way to share items or files to groups would be key instead of individually selecting members.

This is available now in Project Files only. You will need to ask Autodesk to activate it for you.

You need to be a member of the team to be able to collaborate that way. We have a corporate ftp site or use Newforma to share large files.

Unfortunately that is not possible. Even though everyone has the same version of Revit if they don’t have a BIM license and are not invited to the project by the BIM coordinator they cannot access the file. What you can do is go to the web portal and download the file and share it that way as long as you follow confidentiality protocols.

You can send files to someone not in your network via email. I does it all the time.

No, you have the option to share by user name or email address but they have to be associated with a valid user of the project.

I believe if you have an Autodesk Sign in account you can have access to a project when the Original author adds you to the Project.
