Create folders and subfolders in ACC

00:03

Once you have created a project in Autodesk Docs, you can start building your folder and subfolder directory to store your project files.

00:12

Begin with the Autodesk Construction Cloud open to the desired project.

00:16

Expand the product picker and select Docs.

00:20

The first time you access Docs after you create a project, ACC opens the welcome screen and overall Project list.

00:28

Locate and select the project name to open it.

00:32

Here, you see the project open in Docs with the Files tool selected, with the project name at the top of the interface.

00:39

Every project starts with a default folder called Project Files, in which you can start building your directory structure.

00:47

To add subfolders, click the More menu and choose Add subfolder.

00:53

Type a name, such as “Photos”, and then click the checkmark to create the folder.

00:58

Repeat the process to create another folder named “Documents”, and one named “Plan Sheets”.

01:04

Note that you can also right-click a folder to access the commands available in the More menu.

01:10

Follow the same process to create a subfolder within a subfolder, just as you would on your local server or hard drive.

01:17

Also note that, since Civil 3D recognizes the folders that are set up in ACC,

01:23

this not only saves time, but also ensures consistency across projects within the same account.

01:29

Now that you know how to create folders and subfolders, you are ready to begin adding files to your folder directory.
