Alert: Free Fusion 360 Users Risk Losing Projects Unless Action Taken

Option 2: Save Your Designs Locally
Option 3: Pay for a Fusion 360 License
Another option is to pay for a Fusion 360 annual license, which costs $680. That's about $56 per month, which is less than what we pay for QuickBooks or a full Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. Paying customers don't have to worry about the new login storage requirements or any other restrictions placed on free users.
However, since neither Intuit nor Adobe offer their full-featured apps for free like Fusion does, setting a reminder to log in once a year and save $680 seems like a smart move.
Make It Part of Your Workflow
I recommend incorporating local exports into your regular workflow. It might feel a bit tedious for ongoing projects, but it's worth it for peace of mind. Alternatively, consider working primarily with local files, similar to how you might with other software.
What's your take on this? Will you set reminders, save locally, or pay for a license? Are you using the personal license or have you opted for the paid version? Let us know in the comments below.

Alerta: Usuários gratuitos do Fusion 360 correm o risco de perder projetos a menos que tomem medidas! Estou usando o Fusion 360 para meus projetos pessoais e é incrível, mas agora estou preocupado em perder meu trabalho. É frustrante que eles estejam pressionando por assinaturas pagas, mas entendo. Ainda assim, um aviso antecipado teria sido bom! 😅

Fusion 360은 개인 프로젝트에 최적이지만, 행동을 취하지 않으면 프로젝트를 잃을 수 있다는 생각이 무섭네요! 훌륭한 도구인데, 이 개인용 무료 사용은 조금 스트레스입니다. 같은 생각하는 사람 있나요? 😅 Autodesk가 더 많은 시간을 주면 좋겠어요!

I love using Fusion 360 for my personal projects, but the thought of losing them if I don't take action is scary! It's a great tool, but this free-to-personal-use thing is a bit stressful. Anyone else feel the same? 😅 Maybe Autodesk should give us more time to decide!

Alert: Free Fusion 360 Users Risk Losing Projects Unless Action Taken is a real wake-up call! I've been using Fusion 360 for my personal projects and it's been amazing, but now I'm worried about losing my work. It's a bit frustrating that they're pushing for paid subscriptions, but I get it. Still, a heads-up would've been nice! 😅

Fusion 360 무료 사용자들이 프로젝트를 잃을 위험이 있다는 경고는 정말 충격적이에요! 개인 프로젝트에 사용해왔는데, 이제 유료로 전환해야 할까 봐 걱정돼요. 이해는 가지만, 좀 더 일찍 알려줬으면 좋겠어요. 😕

Me encanta usar Fusion 360 para mis proyectos personales, pero la idea de perderlos si no tomo medidas es aterradora. Es una herramienta excelente, pero esto de uso gratuito para uso personal es un poco estresante. ¿Alguien más se siente así? 😅 Quizás Autodesk debería darnos más tiempo para decidir!
