ShareCAD alternatives

ShareCAD provides online storage, browser viewing and link sharing for CAD and BIM files, covering formats such as DWG, DXF, Revit, IFC, DGN, STEP, IGES, STL, SolidWorks, Navisworks and PDF. Recipients can view shared links without CAD software or an account. Project workspaces, folder sharing and file-request links support file collection, while passwords, expiry dates, recipient restrictions and download controls govern access. It runs on web, Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. A free viewer is available, and paid plans start at $19.99/mo.

The service is view-only: users cannot create or edit files, and point clouds cannot be viewed in-browser. ShareCAD also says it is not yet SOC 2 certified and is not designed for special government storage requirements such as ITAR. Alternatives may be preferable for drawing edits, detailed 3D inspection, conversion, offline delivery or open-source deployment. Compare each option's formats, platforms, collaboration methods and pricing, then consider whether you need to modify source drawings or simply share controlled views.
