ShareCAD
What it is
ShareCAD is a cloud platform for storing, sharing, and viewing CAD and BIM files online. It renders supported technical formats in a browser, so recipients can open shared links without CAD software or an account. The service is for viewing and sharing; it does not create or edit files. Supported formats include DWG, DXF, Revit, IFC, DGN, STEP, IGES, STL, SolidWorks, Navisworks, and PDF. Share links can have expiration dates and passwords, be limited to one recipient’s email, or prevent downloads. Project workspaces, folder sharing, and file request links help organize files and collect them into a workspace. Autodesk Platform Services processes supported formats for browser viewing, while subscription conversions are subject to a monthly limit. Measurement tools are available. The free viewer opens files up to 50 MB without an account. Paid plans include Standard at $49 a month and Team at $149 a month; Enterprise starts at $2,890 a year. ShareCAD is available on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. It states that files are stored in AWS in Ohio, connections use HTTPS, and files are encrypted at rest with AES-256.
