About Autodesk Downloader

Autodesk Downloader simplifies cloud-to-local backups for your design projects. It automatically scans Autodesk Drive, BIM 360, and Fusion cloud pages for downloadable DWG, RVT, F3D, and other files. You can select individual assets or use batch mode to grab an entire folder in one operation.

Every file transfers directly from Autodesk's servers to your device with no third-party relay. The progress panel shows transfer speed, percentage, and ETA for each item. Original filenames—including version numbers and project prefixes—stay intact, so your local archive mirrors your cloud layout.

This approach eliminates manual export gymnastics and gives you a reliable local backup. Whether you need to protect against accidental deletion or meet documentation requirements, Autodesk Downloader keeps your cloud-hosted work safe and private.

Happy Users

Recent customer feedback

Short, practical feedback from people using Autodesk Downloader in real workflows.

Useful for BIM 360 project archiving

Our architecture firm moved to BIM 360 and getting files out for local archiving was a nightmare. This extension lets me batch export entire milestone folders. Indispensable for project documentation.

Backed up all my university projects

I am a mechanical engineering student and my university Autodesk account expires next semester. I backed up every single project file in one afternoon. The format detection is accurate and fast.

Handled a massive DWG migration smoothly

Downloaded 200+ DWG files from an Autodesk Drive folder for a migration project. The retry system handled a few dropped connections without any manual intervention. Solid tool.
