Dropbox vs a Real CDE: What Construction Teams Need to Know

Session Overview

Consumer cloud tools like SharePoint, Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive may seem convenient, but they simply weren’t built for construction, engineering, or surveying data.

As soon as your team grows or your datasets get heavier, the cracks start to show:

• Duplicate files
• Overwritten work
• Lost references
• Outdated data being used on-site
• Corrupted models and drawings

For businesses managing thousands of files and multi-file workflows, these issues quickly turn into delays, rework, and real project risk.

This is exactly why 12d Synergy is the solution. 12d Synergy is a purpose-built, connected CDE that gives you structure, governance, and complete control over your project data. No more guessing. No more corruption. No more “final-final-v7”.

Just fast, reliable, traceable data management built for AEC teams.
