    Default Ability to change location of Revit Backup Files

    Summary: I would like to be able to select a different folder location for Revit backup / save files that are generated automatically.

    Description: I would like to be able to select a different folder location for Revit backup / save files that are generated automatically. I typically place my working folder in a Dropbox location, and every save, will generate a sync to Dropbox, thereby using up data, and time. It would be fantastic to be able to save the backup files in another folder, thereby by-passing this situation.

    Ability to change location or method of Revit Backup Files

    Summary: I would like to be able to select a different folder location for Revit backup / save files that are generated automatically. Having also the option for Revit to only create the one backup file, but with the same file name instead of a version number appended to it.

    The option to have the backup file name to be consistent in lieu of the appended save number would also benefit in this situation.
