PCB sharing
Sharing PCB information can be done through collaboration tools like Altium 365 workspaces for internal teams, cloud-based file-sharing services like Dropbox for general access, or public platforms like PCBWay for open-source projects. Sharing methods vary from direct file sharing with collaborators via email to uploading detailed project information to a community or workspace, where you can control access, add documentation, and even enable downloads for others.
A Single Layer PCB (Single-Sided PCB) is a printed circuit board that contains one conductive copper layer on one side and electronic components mounted on the other. It is the most widely used PCB type due to its simple design, cost-effectiveness, and ease of manufacturing. Single Layer PCBs are ideal for low-density, low-cost electronic applications, ensuring stable performance and reliable connectivity.
Key features
Collaboration Platforms
Professional PCB design tools like Altium 365 offer secure cloud workspaces where teams can upload schematics, PCB layouts, manufacturing files (Gerber, ODB++), and BOMs.
Cloud-Based File Sharing
For general or client-level sharing, cloud storage platforms such as Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive are commonly used
Manufacturing
Manufacturing platforms like PCBWay or JLCPCB allow users to upload project files when requesting fabrication services.
Direct File Sharing
For simple or one-time exchanges, PCB design files (Gerber, schematic PDFs, drill files, BOMs) can be shared via email or messaging tools like WhatsApp or Slack
Access Control & Security
Most modern sharing platforms allow setting permissions such as read-only access, password protection, or restricted downloads.
