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.

Fusion 360が無料ユーザーにこんな制限を設けるなんて…プロジェクト消失のリスクがあるなら、代替ソフトを探すしかない?🤔 有料化の流れは仕方ないけど、突然の変更はユーザーを置き去りにしている感じがする。オートデスクはもっと段階的な移行期間を設けるべきじゃない?
Fusion 360ユーザーです。無償プランの制限が厳しくなるのはさっぱり理解できますが、事前に十分な通知と移行ガイドを提供してほしいですね😅 特にデータ移行に不安を感じている趣味で使っているユーザーがたくさんいると思います。
融合360を使っている個人ユーザーで、この情報は本当に重要だね!データ消失のリスクがあるなんて知らなかった。Autodeskは有料プランへの移行を促しているのかな?無料ユーザーも長年使ってきたのに、突然の方針変更は少し酷いかも… 😅
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?
