Note that the #WorkFromHome COVID-19 free extended trial for BIM 360 Design does not apply to AutoCAD Civil 3D use at this time, only Revit. I have had a lot of problems getting Civil 3D, Desktop Connector, and/or BIM 360 Design working.

There is a delay before changes made in the BIM 360 web interface are reflected in your connected drive. The minimum delay is 1 minute. The maximum delay varies for different changes:
- Accounts: 12 minutes
- Projects: 3 minutes
- Folders and documents: 3 minutes
- User permissions: 35 minutes
Note: The Desktop Connector view needs to be refreshed for changes to be displayed. The view is automatically refreshed every 10 minutes.

To disable, start "NVIDIA nView Desktop Manager" in the Windows control panel and choose "Disable".If you need to move the Desktop Connector files to another drive letter follow these steps (my work laptop has been set up like this for almost a year now.
