Cloud Storage services let you store your drawings and share them with other users.
You can view, edit, and save drawings on the default cloud storage, as well as on another supported Cloud Storage service.
The Cloud Storage Explorer lets you organize, manage, and share your project files. Most of the file or folder specific operations are available in the context menu. See Operations with Files and Folders.
You can share the stored drawings with your colleagues, specifying also the necessary permissions. Additionally, you can make a drawing publicly available by generating a unique URL and send it to other users. The URL allows access to any user who has the link, according to user's permission. Sign In is not necessary.
Note: You cannot share folders from the default cloud storage.
The application provides a default cloud storage service named ARES Kudo Drive, which you can use for storing and sharing your project files with other users.

If you are a new user, you will get a set of sample files on the default cloud storage, which you can use to start using the application immediately. Sample files are grouped in a separate folder named Sample files, under My files. You can delete the sample files at any time.
Deleted drawings can be restored or permanently deleted. After 30 days, deleted files are automatically removed from Deleted files.
ARES Kudo Drive lets you share your projects files with other users. Both sharing options are available:
A progress bar lets you track the used storage space. The color of the bar changes according to the usage.

You can track your storage space under the storage account name.
When calculating the storage space, the following drawings are taken into account:
