Can CAD move onto the cloud? Yesssss!
..But there are some downsides too. Mike Payne, chief executive officer told that Kenesto is looking to act as the Google Drive, Box, and Dropbox of the CAD world. Though cloud-storage solutions like Dropbox are seeing gaining in popularity’ but the typical cloud storage solutions aren’t ideal for CAD file management. Those who use CAD require a solution customized to handle continually updated
Kenesto updated its drive to include features found on a company’s shared local area network (LAN) drive. The included capabilities are like work-safety features, such as a feature that bolts an in-use document so another same-time user can’t change it. Engineering and design companies find several favorables when it comes to housing CAD files online, though the method also has its drawback. Chief among the advantages is storage. Like popular offerings such as
But cloud storage does carry some downside. Engineers could lose access to their own stat, should engineering companies choose not to renew or the giver go out of business. Should that happen, the engineering company could lose access to very important legacy information and even to data currently in the works. Of course with online storage comes online security concerns, though companies that
The Kenesto update makes cloud storage ever-more desirable to engineering firms that wish to have collaborative CAD files available but that want to ensure only the latest version is in use and that changes can’t be made to by unauthorized users.
The overall look for in-the-cloud CAD and CAD storage options to become more available in the same way services like Flickr and Google Drive have become widely
