Autodesk Docs represents the foundation of Autodesk’s powerful cloud platform. Docs is the primary module used to house and manage projects stored in the cloud. Using Docs, distributed teams can build directory structures, invite members, assign permissions, upload/download/review design files, assign work, designate review processes, create transmittals, and much more!
Docs is included with the AEC Collection, so if you have access to a Collection, you have access to Docs. In today’s installment, we’ll look at several workflows made possible with the Docs entitlement. Topics include Digital Design Review, Mobile Access, File Exchange and Collaboration. The video below can help you take advantage of Docs on your next civil project...

What would you say are the best practices for setting up Data Shortcuts in Autodesk Docs environment?
1-Where should the [Working Folder] be located?
2-Should source files really reside within the [Data Shortcut Project] or can they be placed outside the [Working Folder]?
3-What permission configuration should setup for data shortcut folders?
I would highly appreciate some light shed on this topic. Thank you.

Hi Tiago Hosting the live Civil 3D models in the cloud requires a purchase of the Design Collaboration module. (BIM Collaborate Pro is specifically what you would need.) For more information on how Civil 3D models can be hosted in the cloud, please take a look at this playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjsw5HrA4MXlwKmjikbVy32y5kh4-0NCY The recordings will help you understand the differences of how data shortcuts and source files are managed in the cloud as compared to a local server. Hope this helps!!
