Autodesk Desktop Connector is an application that runs on your desktop
00:07
and creates a virtual drive that serves as a bridge between the local file system and data in the Autodesk cloud.
00:14
This data is stored in one of three connected drives: Autodesk Docs, Autodesk Drive, and Autodesk Fusion 360.
00:24
To establish this bridge, first, create the project you want to sync with your desktop.

00:35
and the associated accounts.
