D5 Account Supports Integrated Dropbox Account

Many design teams have already been using a variety of cloud services, the most common of which are cloud drives - e.g. Dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive. We now support logging in with authorisation to other cloud accounts in Team Library. The original local area network (LAN) team library (connecting to your nas device) is classified under the ‘LAN’ category.

Dropbox Integration

Entrance

Launch the Assets Library, open [Team Library], and then the [Dropbox] option will appear in the lower secondary menu.

Clicking [Link your Dropbox account] will take you to the Dropbox authorization login page in the browser.

After logging into your Dropbox account, please verify the authorization of your Dropbox account to the D5 account you are currently logged into.

After the successful authorization, return to the D5 Render client and you will be able to view your Dropbox folder as well as the files in the folder which D5 supports to display.

Dropbox content display

Currently the D5 client only supports displaying files in five formats in your Dropbox account: .skp, .fbx, .d5a, .3dm and .abc. Files in other formats will not be displayed when you access your Dropbox through the client.

Upload/Apply assets

By authorizing your Dropbox account, you can download and import models directly into your current D5 project for personal use. Additionally, you can upload models from D5 scene files back to your Dropbox account.

You can take advantage of the sharing features of Dropbox itself to share files and collaborate with teammates. In the Dropbox web or the client, you can share an entire folder with other Dropbox accounts. If the shared Dropbox account is authorized to log in to its own D5 account, then the two D5 accounts can share Dropbox files in the D5 client.
