Autodesk Fusion 360 is moving it's cloud storage to Fusion Hub. Upgrading is Mandatory

https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Single-Storage-is-Moving-to-Fusion-Team.html

The article is beyond wordy and hard to decipher but here my TL:DR. And please correct me if I miss understood something.

Currently Fusion 360 projects are stored in the cloud with “single storage”. The default save location in Fusion 360.

Autodesk is moving to “Fusion Hub” since they boast it’s better at collaboration and file management.

If you receive the email notifying you of Fusion Hub. You have approximately 30 days" to upgrade to Fusion Hub. Auto desk will allow you to “skip the process once”, but will force you to upgrade after 24 hours.

Once you start the process of upgrading the “Single Storage” will be remove immediately or available for 30 days for collaborative files. So if you are collaborating with others, ensure to tell them or they will loose access to the project.

Shared links to existing projects will be broken after the upgrade.

My favorite FAQ:

What if I don’t want to upgrade my data to Fusion Hub?

Since we are supporting only one location to store data, you will be required to upgrade to Fusion Hub.

My solution to this was to back up all my projects so I have a local copy, and move to FreeCAD. I’m tired of Autodesk changing the deal every year or so.

  Especially with freecad 1 just being released. Lots of great improvements and many tutorials are being created to show the new workflows

FreeCAD has improved drastically with the 1.0 update. There’s no need to tolerate this corporate BS.

  You should take a gander at the weekly 1.1 Dev version. So much extra goodness!
  
  I do NOT recommend it for serious use. Like all development software stability can be up and down. But man, I do like it!

I’ve never seen a statement with so many words that said so little. What is Fusion Hub?

  Well, the AI detector in Firefox says the article may be AI generated, so that explains why it’s such a mess.

  Cloud storage for Autodesk Fusion 360 from the looks of it. TBH it’s hard to even google.

    But they already use cloud storage? What’s different about this?

  From reading it the reason seems to be to allow people who are currently sharing projects to coordinate the move so everyone retains their access. It didn’t seem fishy to me.

Just upgraded mine. As far as I can tell it works exactly the same as before except there is now a “Hub” web portal and admin console you can use to give out access to your projects. Reading the documentation they said it would break existing shares. It prompted me that it would ask additional questions during the set up depending on what I was doing but I didn’t have any previous shares and did not get any additional questions. I would assume the 30 day grace period is to plan for this so you can get any shared documents straightened out afterwards. After the update it prompted me to “set up how I use fusion” by picking a module and then if I wanted it to start with a blank document or a previous document or a demo. That was annoying but didn’t reappear after I re-launched the app. All in all I don’t think this is that much of a concern. Looking at the web admin page the options it gives seem like they would be useful for someone sharing projects.

Note: they dropped the 360. It’s just Autodesk Fusion now.
