File Management on BIMcloud

As a fully open BIM platform, BIMcloud can now host file formats from any third party solution, supporting coordination among design team members. Any uploaded file can be fit into BIMcloud’s hierarchical system of Projects. External disciplines, including non-ARCHICAD users, can easily access relevant data via BIMcloud Manager’s browser-based interface.

Browser-based Access

Every file management function is available through BIMcloud Manager, from any browser, on any device. Folders as well as files can be uploaded and downloaded from the interface.

Detailed Permission Control for Uploaded Files

Uploaded files are integrated into BIMcloud’s customizable permission system. Access to uploaded files can be configured for each individual User or Group, or (for BIMcloud Projects) a Team.

Versioning/Rollback for Folders/Uploaded Files

BIMcloud now keeps all previous versions of uploaded files. This ensures transparency in tracking earlier modifications. User can easily roll back to an earlier version of a file. The user can also download any previous version (thereby maintaining the file’s current state).

BIMcloud also keeps track of folder history. Folders, with all their files, can be rolled back to an earlier version. Folders (like files) can also be downloaded.

File Versions

BIMcloud now keeps a history of every action in connection with files, ensuring transparency and traceability. The Versions tab tracks every modification in connection with the specific file’s content and previous rollback actions.
