Let’s take a look at how you install 3DDrive from the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.

Go to the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform online and click the ring around the Play button on the compass to access the 3DDrive app.

Left click on 3DDrive and then click “Install 3DEXPERIENCE Drive for Windows”

Click “Download 3DEXPERIENCE Launcher” – don’t click “Continue” yet.

Change the path and select where you want your 3DDrive folder.
