Installing Sync Client for 3DDrive (2024 FD03)



When you open a file from 3DDrive using the Open With > Design with Solidworks command, you can choose if you want to install the 3DEXPERIENCE Drive for Windows.

Benefits: The app behaves differently depending on how you choose to install it. You can open the selected file in SOLIDWORKS even if the client is not installed on the machine.

A notification appears if you do not have 3DEXPERIENCE Drive for Windows installed.

  • If you choose Install, there is no change in the behavior of 3DDrive. You can work simultaneously with the files in SOLIDWORKS and keep it synced with 3DDrive.
  • If you choose Continue without Install, the files will not be synced automatically. However, you can perform all the operations of upload, download, and drag a file from 3DDrive to SOLIDWORKS.
