The Files Uploader utilizes the same log file naming format described above for Projects. The only difference is it substitutes the ‘Upload’ identifier for the project name.
- Upload_2021_0118_0510_16.log
- Which corresponds to:
- [‘Upload’]_[Year]_[Month:Date]_[Hour:Minute]_[Seconds:Tenth/Second]
BIMrx® Cloud Manager is also aware when it encounters files that are not supported for upload to Autodesk® BIM 360®, such as shortcuts (i.e., ".lnk" files). When this occurs it skips the file, indicates the action in the log, and increments the total number of files skipped by one.
Please Note—when re-running the upload for a project BIMrx® Cloud Manager detects new files and folders that have been added on the local file path and identifies new versions of existing files. The new folders and files are added, and the new versions are posted to the Autodesk® BIM 360® project in the cloud. Existing files, versions and folders are safely skipped.
Tip—Run the Upload process regularly against a local project working directory to keep BIM 360® in sync with local project files and folders.
