Cloud Services Features
With Cloud Services, you are connected to work smarter, right inside SOLIDWORKS. That means you can do more than just design. You can share your work, track versions, store files in the cloud, and manage changes without juggling extra tools or switching systems. When your SOLIDWORKS is connected to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, your daily work gets easier
SOLIDWORKS Made Better with Cloud Services
Cloud Services is the add-in that connects your desktop SOLIDWORKS to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, to make the SOLIDWORKS you know, even better. It provides benefits like real-time collaboration, data management, and secure access to your files.
Explore the main Cloud Services features below or understand the value it can bring you.
Learn the value of the 3 key functions
Share & Markup – Get Feedback Faster
Stop wasting time on screenshots, exports, and long email threads. Cloud Services enables you to share your designs directly from SOLIDWORKS. Just send a secure link and let teammates, suppliers, or anyone else view and comment in their browser – no installs, no licenses needed.
Why It Matters
- Get clear, actionable feedback without meetings or back-and-forth.
- Review designs faster and avoid version mix-ups.
- You are in control – partners can see and comment, but not change your files
It’s collaboration made simple, without breaking your flow.
Store & Revise – Forget Wrong File Versions
Working on the wrong version? Hunting through emails for the “final_final_REV3”? Those days are over. With connected storage, your designs are stored in one secure location. You always have access and know which version is the current one, and who’s working on what.
Here’s What You Get:
- Always backed-up files, stored in one place
- Lock files while you work to prevent overwrites
- Revisions tracked automatically – no manual file management
No more accidental overwrites or digging through folders. Just pick up where you left off – every time.
Manage & Control – Keep Projects on Track Without Extra Tools
Need to manage changes, approve drawings, or assign tasks? Do it all right inside SOLIDWORKS. The platform connects your design data to simple built-in project tools, so you don’t need a separate PDM system or extra apps.
Use It To
- Create and track design changes or issues
- Assign and follow up on tasks
- Handle approvals and releases – all without leaving your model
Less admin, fewer bottlenecks – more time for real design work.
It’s All Built-In
Every new SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS Design license includes Cloud Services, which unlock these platform tools. You don’t need to buy more software or learn a new system. Just connect – and you’re ready to go.
- You stay in SOLIDWORKS
- Your data stays organized
- Your team stays in sync
