Softdrive - Revit Experience

PROS

The system is capable of running large Revit Projects in excess of 100-200mB in file size, of course depending on the Package you pay for. But in the case you intend to use Large projects with this system it is more than capable.

CONS

The Multi-Monitor mode needs to be updated to have the choice of choosing certain monitors to display Softdrive while leaving others to display the original Device you used to access Softdrive remotely. Currently the system only allows for all screens to display Softdrive or only One screen.

Definitely recommend

Softdrive has been an excellent addition to my work- makes it very easy to access my files and programs from anywhere without having to carry around an external hard drive. It has been excellent working with the development team in the event something goes wrong. They are easy to work with and respond quickly to any issues that arise.

PROS

The software and associated app are very easy to use, and syncs very well with existing workflow. The multi-monitor functionality has been an excellent addition to the software

CONS

if the internet is slow, it can make using the virtual machine difficult and cause it to lag

Vendor Response

Thanks Sara! We've just released our low-bandwidth mode! Be sure to give it a try!
