We use Inventor with GrabCAD and love it. Easy to setup and use, just requires syncing files before and after you work on parts/assemblies. Files can be viewed online as well, but sometimes they take a while to load (depends on file size and complexity).
As for the public vs private files: GrabCAD by default makes everything private, but has a public "folder" within each project (we have a project per robot). Any files you move/copy to the public "folder" (partner space) can be viewed by anyone online with the link (not sure if it is searchable or not by Google), but all files not in the public folder are private. We publish our final CAD models each year in a project and post them publicly as .STP files at cad.team2059.org.
