  PLM is the current buzzword for lower-end CAD. Alibre just added it. OnShape tries to embody it. Solidworks hobbyist options only continue to exist in order to market it. Even the Ondsel startup that hired some FreeCAD devs built their (failed) business model around bolting PLM on.

  This looks like it’s taking a more traditional “cloud storage” model and replacing it with something more PLM-like so they can sell to low-end corporate users and the hobbyists just get rolled in because ain’t nobody maintaining something just for the freeloaders, who can be forced to get used to it anyway and might push for it if they ever get work in the field, simply because they know it.

  My guess is it’s not inherently worse than what it’s replacing, but it’s likely complicated and kinda clunky for a random person designing gears and project enclosures.

  Once you start the process of upgrading the “Single Storage” will be remove immediately or available for 30 days for collaborative files. So if you are collaborating with others, ensure to tell them or they will loose access to the project.

  From the sounds of it, better collaboration and sharing of projects.

  Lol this is probably exactly accurate.
