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.

Wow, free Fusion 360 was a game-changer for hobbyists like me, but now I’m sweating over losing my projects! 😓 Autodesk’s gotta make money, sure, but this feels like a bait-and-switch. Anyone else scrambling to save their designs?

Wow, free Fusion 360 might not be so free anymore? Kinda worried my projects could vanish if I don’t act fast. Autodesk’s gotta make money, but this feels like a sneaky move. 😕 Anyone else stressing about this?

Wow, Autodesk pulling the plug on free Fusion 360 projects? That’s a gut punch for hobbyists! I get they need to cover costs, but locking projects behind a paywall stings. 😕 Anyone else scrambling to save their designs?

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!
