Autodesk Docs (Autodesk Desktop Connector) is an application that integrates ACC and BIM 360 document folders with your PC’s file management system, giving you the ability to “drag and drop” files and folders. Autodesk recently renamed this application from “Autodesk Desktop Connector” to “Autodesk Docs.” However, Autodesk uses the names interchangeably in its online documentation. We’ll use the acronym ADC in the instructions below.

Information on how to use ADC is available here: https://help.autodesk.com/view/CONNECT/ENU/?guid=What_Is_Desktop-Connector

Here are the steps for installing and updating ADC:

If you have an administrator account on your desktop:

2. If you already have ADC installed, exit the program by right-clicking on the ADC icon in your system tray and selecting “Exit”

3. Locate the DesktopConnector-x64.exe file in your Downloads folder. Double-click the file to extract and install it in the C:\Autodesk\ folder.

If you do NOT have an administrator account on your desktop: 

1. Submit a myIT ticket to UFIT Technology Support Services (TSS)

2. Please include the following information in your ticket:
Your Name

4. If you already have ADC installed, the TSS representative will need to exit the ADC program before installation can be completed

After the application is installed, you will be able to use ADC by opening Microsoft File Explorer and clicking on the “Autodesk Docs” icon and navigating to your projects located under the main “University of Florida” folder.
